Perencanaan Akses Transportasi dan Fasilitas Pendukung Kawasan Wisata Air Terjun Taeno, Desa Rumah Tiga, Kota Ambon

Abstrak

This Community Service (PkM) activity is carried out as a tangible contribution of the academic community in supporting the development of local tourism potential in Ambon City, particularly in the Taeno Waterfall area located in Rumah Tiga Village. This area has a high natural attraction but still faces limitations in terms of accessibility and the availability of supporting facilities. The implementation of this activity aims to formulate a development plan for adequate transportation access and supporting facilities that align with the characteristics of the area, in order to enhance the competitiveness of the tourism destination as well as to empower the local community in tourism-based economic activities. The implementation methods include field surveys, observation of existing infrastructure conditions, interviews with local stakeholders (village government, community leaders, and micro-business actors), and planning studies based on the needs and potential of the area. The outcomes of this activity consist of a technical planning document for road access to the waterfall site, as well as the design of supporting tourism facilities (parking area, information boards, public toilets, and resting shelters). This PkM activity provides dual benefits, namely as a tangible support for sustainable tourism development in Ambon City, and as a means of enhancing the capacity of the community to independently manage local potential. The planning results are expected to serve as a basis for local government and development partners in realizing the development of the Taeno Waterfall area as one of the leading ecotourism-based destinations.
