Jatijajar
cave
Jatijajar cave is a natural cave and it
lies in Jatijajar village, Ayah subdistrict, Kebumen regency. This cave was
formed of limestone about thousands years ago. This cave has length about 250
meters from the cave mouth, with average width about 15 meters and average high
about 12 meters, whereas the thickness of canopy about 10 meters. It has been
50 meters above the sea level. Inside of this cave there are many stalactites
and stalagmites, but just little parts of them still active until now. Beside
there are many springs with the myth inside it. Now this cave is a tourism destination area in Kebumen regency
because of the anxiety inside and around this cave that makes visitors comes.
Until now Jatijajar cave has been contributing high values economics. However
the development of this cave wasn’t balance with the management. Therefore many
problems turn up because of this imbalance.
One of them is environment would damage
specifically for the cave itself, because of development that wasn’t
appropriate with nature everlasting value. Specific changes can we see at the
cave function as tourism destination look different nowhere near natural caves.
It was sign by cave activity have been on its last legs, such as stalactites
and stalagmites are almost certain that non active. The reason of cause of
fatal breakage one of them are construction of facility inside the cave such as
upstairs and others. It makes ecosystems observer felt regrettably by them act.
Educational values and cultural attach
coming into vanishing. Most visitors just visit this destination just for fun,
its well but will better if organizers side are supplied learning aspect inside
or before the cave for information about the cave, such as the history cave
itself, cultural of local society, and other science that makes more
experiences for visitors, that is just as well. Tourism ecology aspect was implying
an interrelationship between visitors and local community that engage cultural
dialogue on the strength of admiration at the each existence and integrity. If
this cultural integrity are lost then be firm any advisable a tourism area,
sooner or later would be left behind.
The foreign visitors who visit this cave
have been decreasing over time. Arising on the score real local incoming was tended
to decrease, less than twenty foreign visitors is comes to this cave yearlong. So
tourism multiplier effect will of the wane.
There are several testify to organizer
less attention. Mathieson and Wall (1982, in Dowling and Fennel, 2003: 7) a
tourism specialist said “Planning for
tourist development is a complex process which should involve consideration of
diverse economic, environmental and social cultures”. Most tourism
specialist almost compromised at the same mind for more pressing how interest
integrity aspect at economy, environment and social culture in tourism
managerial. This action for increasing a tourism destinations (Jatijajar cave)
are used with responsibility. This responsible implementation is exploiting
nature resource and environment under carrying capacity nature ecosystem.
