INOVASI KOTAK PANORAMA UNTUK MENDUKUNG EKOWISATA INCLUSIF SUMBERDAYA PESISIR DI PANTAI NAMANALU
Abstract
Surface wave ripple disturbance is a major obstacle in enjoying the potential of underwater tourism in coastal ecotourism areas. This study aims to develop a visual aid that can neutralize the wave ripple, in order to improve the quality of the tourist experience at Namanalu Beach. This development research adopts the Design Thinking methodology conducted in July-September 2025. Data at the Empathize, Define, Ideate and Test stages were obtained through interviews and discussions and joint applications with users at the Namanalu Beach tourist location, analyzed using Thematic Analysis; the Prototype stage was carried out at the Hydrostatics and Towing Tank Laboratory, Faculty of Engineering, Pattimura University. The study produced two prototypes of panoramic boxes equipped with an innovative mechanism in the form of a ballast system to regulate the buoyancy of the tool, making it easier for users to immerse the bottom of the box below the water surface and retrieval (lifting) it back. Based on the results of functional tests in the field, both panoramic box prototypes were proven to operate optimally. This tool successfully eliminates visual distortion due to wave ripples, so that underwater views can be observed clearly and proportionally. It was concluded that this panorama box not only addresses the identified issues but also has the potential to be an effective conservation education tool, especially for older tourists, children, and non-swimmers. Implementation of this tool is recommended to support sustainable ecotourism activities.
ABSTRAK
Gangguan riak gelombang permukaan menjadi kendala utama dalam menikmati potensi wisata bawah air di kawasan ekowisata pesisir. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengembangkan sebuah alat bantu visual yang dapat menetralisasi riak gelombang tersebut, guna meningkatkan kualitas pengalaman wisatawan di Pantai Namanalu. Penelitian pengembangan ini mengadopsi metodologi Design Thinking yang dilakukan pada Juli-September 2025. Data pada tahap Empathize, Define, Ideate dan Test diperoleh melalui wawancara dan diskusi serta aplikasi bersama dengan pengguna di lokasi wisata Pantai Namanalu, dianalisis menggunakan Analisis Tematik; tahap Prototype dilaksanakan pada Laboratorium Hidrostatis dan Towing Tank Fakultas Teknik, Universitas Pattimura. Penelitian menghasilkan dua purwarupa kotak panorama yang dilengkapi mekanisme inovatif berupa sistem ballast untuk mengatur daya apung alat, memudahkan pengguna dalam proses pencelupan (immersio) dasar kotak ke bawah permukaan air dan pengangkatannya (retrieval) kembali. Berdasarkan hasil uji fungsi di lapangan, kedua prototipe kotak panorama terbukti beroperasi secara maksimal. Alat ini berhasil menghilangkan distorsi visual akibat riak gelombang, sehingga pemandangan bawah air dapat diamati dengan jelas dan proporsional. Disimpulkan bahwa kotak panorama ini tidak hanya menjawab permasalahan yang diidentifikasi tetapi juga berpotensi menjadi media edukasi konservasi yang efektif teristimewa kepada wisatawan orang tua, anak-anak dan non perenang. Implementasi alat ini direkomendasikan untuk mendukung kegiatan ekowisata berkelanjutan.
