ANALYSIS OF THE SUITABILITY AND CARRYING CAPACITY OF TOURISM AREA NGURSARNADANBEACHAND SOUTHEAST MALUKU DISTRICT

Ngursarnadan Beach as a tourism icon in Southeast Maluku needs to be managed and developed strategically because of the large number of visitors. The research objective is to analyze the suitability and carrying capacity of coastal ecotourism activities, as well as the role of stakeholders in their development. Area suitability analysis uses the formula IKW = n-ary sumation [Ni / Nmax] x 100 % and carrying capacity analysis uses the formula DDK = K x Lp / Lt x Wt / Wp. Stakeholder role analysis uses a two by two matrix (grid model). The results showed that the first and second stations were in the very appropriate category with IKW values of 3.0 and 2.52, while the third station was included in the category according to IKW values of 2.3. The carrying capacity of the Ngursarnadan Beach area is 168 people/day with a length of beach that can be utilized is 780 m and an area of 13,280 m2. Activities or sports that can be done at Ngursarnadan beach are beach recreation and swimming. In the development of tourism objects, the role of stakeholders is very important in formulating, stipulating and implementing tourism object development policies.
