Youtefa Bay Tourism Park in Jayapura.
Papua, is an important area for biodiversity conservation and local livelihoods .
Improved quality of life has a significant and constructive impact on people's support for tourism.
In countries like India, which are characterized by great potential for community-based tourism to improve the welfare of rural communities and reduce poverty, policymakers need to have a comprehensive understanding of the effects of community-based tourism on the quality of life of residents and their attitudes towards tourism .
However, the impact of the construction of the Youtefa Bridge is not only positive.
Marine pollution, changes in fishermen's livelihoods, and damage to the mangrove ecosystem are some of the problems that have emerged.
There is research on the total economic value of the mangrove ecosystem increasing if all its economic benefits are identified and calculated The greatest benefits come from direct benefits such as the provision of fish, crabs, shrimp, shellfish, and firewood, which improve the economy of the villages of Tobati and Enggros.
Indirect benefits include coastal protection, prevention of seawater intrusion, and carbon To maximize the economic value of the mangrove ecosystem, conservation efforts are needed that will improve the welfare of local communities .
The area around Youtefa Bridge, including Enggros Village and Tobati Village, received direct impacts from this development, including problems with the availability of clean water and a decrease in fish stocks in Youtefa Bay .
In this context, sustainability becomes a key term.
Responsible tourism development must include a balance between economic benefits and ecosystem conservation efforts, including sustainable conservation and restoration, improved policies, infrastructure, natural resource conservation, local community welfare, and preservation of local culture and heritage .
