Jangan lupa berpose-pose di depan Curug Cimarinjung Geopark Ciletuh dapat dijangkau dari Jakarta dengan 7-8 jam berkendara. Arealnya sangat luas, apalagi dengan perluasannya sekarang menjadi Geopark Ciletuh Palabuhanratu yang mencakup 8 kecamatan dengan total luas km2. Objek wisatanyanya lebih dari 50. Tapi buat mayoritas wisatawan dari Jakarta yang hanya punya waktu di akhir pekan, cukup mengunjungi 7 objek favorit di zona inti di Kecamatan Ciemas. Apa saja? Simak yang berikut. 1. TEBING PANENJOAN Titik pandang Panenjoan berada di pinggir jalan, Desa Taman Jaya, dengan ketinggian 300-an mdpl. Lokasinya sudah dibuat rapi dengan pagar pembatas di tepi tebing, menara-menara maupun teras-teras pandang, serta ada tulisan Panenjoan. Amfiteater alam raksasa Ciletuh dapat terlihat utuh dari sini. Dinding tebing setengah lingkaran yang menghadap Laut Selatan seakan melindungi persawahan, perbukitan, serta perkampungan warga di bawahnya. Tampak di kejauhan garis Pantai Palangpang. Masuk ke sini gratis, hanya bayar parkir mobil atau motor. Mobil Rp 2. PANTAI PALANGPANG Pantai Palangpang di Desa Ciwaru menjadi basecamp paling strategis untuk mengeksplor Geopark Ciletuh di zona intinya. Begitu melewati tempat pelelangan ikan sudah terlihat hamparan pasir pantai di kiri jalan. Terlihat beberapa penginapan di kanan maupun kiri jalan, begitu juga warung-warung tepi pantai. Tulisan “Geopark Ciletuh” berwarna kuning terlihat jelas di salah satu garis pantai. MyTrip merekomendasikan Vila Balekambang yang berada di ujung Pantai Palangpang dengan halaman belakang nan luas yang menghadirkan pemandangan meneduhkan. Nggak afdol kalau nggak berpose di depan tulisan "Geopark Ciletuh" 3. CURUG CIMARINJUNG Curug ini kelihatan bagian atasnya dari Pantai Palangpang. Terletak juga di Desa Ciwaru, di aliran Sungai Cimarinjung. Tingginya lebih dari 50 m. Oleh orang lokal disebut juga Curug Goong karena pada hari tertentu terdengar suara gong. Menurut legenda, ada gong yang tersembunyi di curug tersebut, peninggalan keraton alam gaib. Batunya adalah batuan sedimen berjenis batu pasir tufan dan breksi. Di atasnya di aliran yang sama ada Curug Nyelempet dan Curug Dogdog. Ketiganya terbentuk karena proses tektonik. Air curug ini dipakai untuk mengairi persawahan di bawahnya. Dua bongkah batu besar menjadi ciri khas Curug Cimarinjung Dari Pantai Palangpang berkendara ke sini hanya 5 menit melewati pemandangan persawahan dan perbukitan yang aduhai. Saat MyTrip lewat tampak pembangunan jalan masih berlangsung, akses baru ke arah Loji di Palabuhan Ratu melewati Puncak Darma. Dari tempat parkir jalan kaki ke area curug treknya datar dan sudah dikonblok, hanya 5 menit sudah sampai. Trek datar masuk ke curug Semua pengunjung pasti sepakat curug ini super keren! Dua bongkah batu besar berumput hijau nangkring di ujung tebing teras pertama sebagai penanda khas curug ini. Kekhasan curug ini juga tampak pada aliran airnya yang sempit di bagian atas, lalu membentur latar batu di bawahnya hingga menimbulkan aliran air baru yang melebar. Berpose di batu besar di sebelah kanan Batu besar di kanan curug adalah spot foto yang nggak boleh dilewatkan. Tapi tetap hati-hati ya, batunya memang nggak licin, tapi kalau ceroboh bisa terpeleset jatuh. Kalau ada pemandu lokal yang menawari menemani terima saja, dan bayar serelanya. Pemandu ini akan membantu kita menaiki batu dan merekomendasi apakah aman menyeberang untuk memotret curug dari sisi satunya, dan area mana yang aman direnangi kalau Anda mau berenang. Tentu nggak bisa berenang terlalu dekat karena aliran curug sangat deras. Tiket masuk Rp per orang. Parkir mobil Rp 4. CURUG SODONG Ada batu besar nangkring di puncak curug Curug ini juga terletak di Desa Ciwaru. Sering juga disebut Curug Kembar karena ada dua aliran curug bersebelahan, setinggi kurang lebih 20-an meter. Jauh di atasnya terlihat Curug Cikanteh. Saat debit air tak terlalu besar akan terlihat di baliknya ada gua sodong. Tapi jangan sembarangan masuk kecuali Anda bersama pemandu lokal ya. Selain kembar, ciri khas curug ini adalah adanya batu besar nangkring yang ditopang batu kecil di puncak di antara aliran dua curug tersebut. Dari Pantai Palangpang ke sini berkendara sekitar 45 menit. Mobil atau motor bisa diparkir di area yang sudah dikonblok rapi tepat di depan curug. Jadi turun ke curugnya tinggal meniti tangga batu yang sudah dibuat rapi. Untuk memotret, jangan cuma puas dari depan curugnya, tapi cobalah melipir ke kiri, maka kita akan dapat foreground sungai kecilnya. Sedangkan kalau melipir ke kanan akan dapat pose curug dengan framing pohon dan bebatuan di depan curug. Memotret Curug Sodong dari sisi kanan Waktu MyTrip datang tak ada penunggu yang meminta bayar parkir maupun tiket masuk. 5. CURUG CIKANTEH Curug yang cantik dengan rimbunan pepohonan hijau di sekitarnya ini terlihat dari Curug Sodong. Karena MyTrip tidak sempat ke sana, jadi dikopaskan saja keterangan dari Curug Cikanteh terletak di Desa Ciwaru. Curug ini merupakan bagian teratas dari rangkaian tiga curug lainnya. Untuk menuju curug ini harus ditempuh dengan berjalan kaki dari Curug Sodong melalui jalan setapak yang menanjak dan berbatu selama 30 menit, serta menyeberangi sungai tanpa tersedia jembatan yang permanen. 6. CURUG AWANG Laksana Niagara Kalau nggak datang dan melihat sendiri mungkin Anda nggak percaya Curug Awang beneran seperti Niagara. Tingginya sekitar 40 m dengan lebar kira-kira 60 m. Sayang, waktu MyTrip datang aliran air terjunnya hanya mengisi seperempat bagian kanan. Kebayang kalau full, Niagara bener deh! Dinding air terjunnya berupa bebatuan coklat. Di sekitar aliran airnya ada sawah yang dihiasi bebatuan purba di sana-sini. Di bagian atas, di samping sungainya juga terdapat sawah. Persawahan dan bebatuan purba di bagian bawah Curug Awang Aliran sungai di atas Curug Awang dan sawah di sekitarnya Untuk ke curug yang berada di Desa Taman Jaya ini cukup jauh, sekitar 1 jam berkendara dari Curug Sodong. Akses jalannya agak rusak, di kanan kiri kita akan melihat kebun jati maupun sawit. Ada gubuk-gubuk tempat warga mengolah gula kelapa. Harum baunya ke mana-mana saat kami melintas. Kalau hanya mau menikmati curug dari atas gampang. Jalurnya sudah berupa jogging track berkonblok dan datar-datar saja. Tapi kalau mau turun, nah ini yang masih PR. Treknya cukup curam, dan kita harus berpegangan pada tali yang telah disediakan. Kalau hujan licin. Jadi karena datang pas turun hujan, MyTrip memutuskan tidak turun ke bawah. Lihat dari atas aja udah terkagum-kagum. Jogging track menuju Curug Awang Berada pada aliran Sungai Ciletuh, di bawah Curug Awang, 300 m ke arah hilir ada Curug Tengah tingginya 5 m dan di bawahnya lagi 500 m dari Curug Tengah ada Curug Puncak Manik 100 m. 7. PUNCAK DARMA Jika ingin naik hingga ke Puncak Darma pengunjung bisa memulainya dari parkiran Curug Cimarinjung. Nggak bisa bawa mobil sendiri karena jalanannya masih offroad. Harus sewa mobil 4WD, atau bisa juga naik ojek Rp PP, atau trekking antara 1,5-2 jam. Dari atasnya kita bisa melihat garis keseluruhan Pantai Palangpang yang berbentuk tapal kuda. Info turis Sesuai arti nama Ciletuh yakni “air berlumpur yang keruh”, meski aliran curug-curugnya tampak putih, tapi rata-rata air yang terbentuk di bawah curug berwarna coklat karena membawa banyak lumpur. Memang kurang nyaman untuk direnangi atau sekadar buat berendam. Apalagi hingga saat MyTrip berkunjung pertengah Juni lalu nggak semua curug punya kamar bilas. Tapi kalau mau berenang silakan saja terutama bagi yang bisa berenang karena beberapa bagian cukup dalam. Jadi wajib berhati-hati. Tentang panduan eksplor Ciletuh silakan baca di sini.

Keywords—Geopark; Community; Tourism I. INTRODUCTION In 2014-2015 UNWTO The World Tourism Organization and WTTC World Travel & Tourism Council explain the strategic rationale data of tour-ism in the world, that in 2014, of PDB of countries in the world comes from tourism sector both from the direct and indirect impacts. In 2014 around 1,138 million overseas tourists and 5-6 billion domestic tourists enjoyed tourism sector. The data place tourism as a featured sector in the level of the world. Indonesia as an archipelago country has a geographical condition with beautiful and gorgeous nature. A large range of ocean surrounds thousands of islands lived by various ethnicities with their customs and cultures. Those heaps of God’s gift make Indonesia appeal to become a tourist destination, not only for domestic tourists but also for overseas tourists. Besides the various beauty of the tourist destinations, the geographical condition of Nusantara, like landscape, rocks, fossils, faults, and folds become a gift for this country. The geological elements in Indonesia are known as a geopark. An existence of a geopark does not only serve as a property of monumental nature geological, but also as a showcase of the life in exhibiting the existence of humans, animals, and plants. In other words, a geopark area has geological and biological varieties, as well as cultural varieties. International Geoparks Network [1] UNESCO 2006 defined geopark as a region with outstanding geological aspects, covering one or more important scientific sites, not only due to geological reasons, but also based on archeology, ecology and cultural aspects. In this regard, geopark is not only perceiving as Earth Park connected with conservation and tour-ism aspects, but also integrating the geological heritages organization with cultural heritages of certain region for three main objectives, which are conservation, education and sustainable development [2]. Through geopark, the geological heritage is utilized to raise the awareness of the community on issues dealing with earth dynamic occurring around us [3]. In line with the meaning of geopark, a geopark area has its own attractiveness. It is unavoidable if a geopark area appeals tourists to visit and enjoy various beauty offered. The existence of Ciletuh National Geopark was inaugurated in 2015. It enriches and completes tourist destinations in West Java, especially in Sukabumi District. Like other tourist destinations in Indonesia, it is located in a remote area. Visi-tors have to go on a long journey to reach the geopark area. The development of various supporting facilities, like infrastructure and amenity core, be-comes a necessity for the local government and other parties who have special concern on the development of a geopark area. Moreover, the natural potentials and cultures become an attractiveness of a geopark area that significantly will appeal the tourists. A study by [4] regarding Langkawi Geopark shows that the development of a geopark can improve the social and economic capacity of the local community. Even further, [5] see that the development of a geopark does not only improve the prosperity of the local community but also protects the culture as well as the identity of the local community. The increasing number of tourists visiting geopark area, opening business opportunity for the local community around the geopark by providing various needs for the tourists during their stay. This opportunity can be utilized by the community by offering services or goods, such as accommodation, tour guide, and amenity core. If the opportunity is well utilized by the community then it may improve the income level of the local community around the geopark area. Based on the condition above, the local community needs to prepare themselves and optimize the human resources to be able to take a part in developing the geopark area along with the local development which leads to an improvement of local community prosperity in the geopark area. II. METHOD This study was conducted using the descriptive method and qualitative approach. The data were gained from primary and Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 1173rd Global Conference On Business, Management, and Entrepreneurship GCBME 2018Copyright © 2020 The Authors.

The data collection techniques were observation, interview, literature study, and document study. The data validity was done by data triangulation, by checking data gained through some other data sources. The informants in this study were the local community, Paguyuban Alam Pakidulan Sukabumi PAPSI as the local association that has concern and focus on Ciletuh Geopark management activity and the local government. III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSIONCiletuh National Geopark inaugurated on 22nd December 2015 is located in two different sub-districts, namely Ciemas Sub-district and Ciracap Sub-district covering fifteen villages. Ciemas Sub-district covers nine villages, namely Tamanjaya, Ci-waru, Girimukti, Mekarsakti, Ciemas, Mandrajaya, Cibenda, Sidamulyo, and Mekarjaya. Meanwhile, Ciracap Sub-district has six villages Gunungbatu, Cikangkung, Mekarsari, Ujungggenteng, Pangumba-han, and Purwasedar. The coverage of both sub-districts is 45,820 Ha. Located in 45,820 Ha area, Ciletuh National Geopark is divided into a couple of areas 1 conservation area covering Cikepuh wildlife reserve, Cibanteng natural preserve, Penyu Pangumbahan and Cultural Sites; 2 cultivation area covering fishpond, plantation, agriculture, housing and production for-est; 3 special area for KOSTRAD training area; and 4 developing area covering tourism area, sea, waterfall, agro-tourism and cultural tourism. Those are-as become wealth, feature and even pre-requirement of an area to be a geopark area which cover 45,820 Ha, 15 villages, 2 sub-districts In line with an effort to encourage the growth and development of Ciletuh National Geopark, the government of West Java commits and fights for an area extension of Ciletuh National Geopark which at first only covered two sub-districts consisting of fifteen villages. On 21st June 2016, it was officially announced that the coverage became eight sub-districts consisting of seventy-four villages. The change of name from the provincial government into Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark was inau-gurated with its 126,100 ha breadth; it equals to 1,261 km2. The effort to extend the geopark is to be able to get into the world geopark network or UNESCO Global Geopark UGG announced by UNESCO on 22nd December 2017 [7]. The borders of Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark, consist of eight sub-districts and by geo-area is divided into three geo-areas, namely Cisolok Geoarea which development carries a theme of an-cient magmatic zone shifting, forearc evolution, Jampang Geo-area whose development carries a theme of Jampang plateau landscape, and Ciletuh Geo-area with a theme of subduction zone uplifted rocks. Certainly, those geo-areas offer their own attractiveness and features for tourists. In the middle of various beauty and natural potentials offered by the geopark area or other tourist destinations in re-mote areas, infrastructure and other amenity cores become an important thing that needs to be prepared and provided. The extension of Ciletuh National Geopark into Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark is seen in Picture 2 below. To Travel to Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark from the big city, for instance from Jakarta or Bandung, visitors have to go through ± 200 Km of distance. If it is not supported by a proper infrastructure, it will take a long time to reach. Moreover, the government of West Java Province has promoted the geopark as a leading tourist destination in West Java. In relation to the existence of Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark in a remote area, the most important thing to do is working together with stakeholders involved in the process of development of the geopark area, as what the gained data elaborate. Infrastructure aspect is a major aspect that needs to be prepared properly to ease and comfort visitors coming to Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark. Parties taking a role in fixing the road infrastructure to Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark area are the government and Biofarma Company. In this case, the government fixes the road infrastructure to Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark area and builds information panels and directions to the ge-opark area. In relation to the road construction, in 2017 the provincial government has planned to build a new road from Palabuhanratu to Darma Peak as one of the tourist destinations in Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark area. On the other hand, Biofarma Company takes a role to provide in-frastructures, such as information panels, directions, clean water sanitation, toilets, bins, and Geopark In-formation Center GIC. Those infrastructures are in line with the pre-requirements set by UNESCO in the process of Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark assessment to get listed on the world geopark network or UNESCO Global Geopark UGG. Facility provision is to support the local community around Ciletuh to be ready in facing the existence of Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark. Practically, there are three parties working together in the facility provision for the local community around Ciletuh. They are the government, Biofarma Company and Paguyuban Alam Pakidulan Sukabumi PAPSI. The roles are 1 in relation to homestay, bed provision becomes the need for homestay owners. In the process of the provision, PAPSI takes a role in proposing the beds to the local government, 2 in the program of improving youth capacity joined in GUAY Community, screen printing equipment is needed to produce gifts for tourists. In this case, PAPSI takes a role in proposing the screen-printing equipment to Biofarma Company, 3 the provision of clean water is done by Biofarma Company with one unit of ± 700 m length of pipe and the construction of drilled well for the local community, 4 improving health services in the center of communityhealth by building an emergency center by Biofarma Company,and 5 for improving the business sector for PKK around thegeopark area, PAPSI provides a crackers machine this stage, the information announcement for the community and visitors regarding the existence of geopark in Ciletuh is done by the government, Biofarma Company and PAPSI. The roles for each party are 1 the government conveys the information, 2 Biofarma Company announces infor-mation by making information boards of geopark tourist destination, and 3 PAPSI gives information about the tourist Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 11766 destination, a guide for visitors as well as information related to accommodation and transportation at Ciletuh geopark area. It is only the government and Biofarma Company that take a role in funding aspect. PAPSI, in this case, takes a role as the party who proposes funding to both institutions. There are two different patterns in the funding aspect 1 Biofarma Company hands the fund to the community based on proposals pro-posed by PAPSI, while 2 the funding from the government is allocated to the community based on the government decision through an official notifica-tion, budget and the condition of activities that have been planned beforehand by the government based on the local community proposals from the discussion of development planning musrenbang musya-warah rencana pembangunan in their area. Besides building infrastructures in Ciletuh Ge-opark area, the government of West Java Province also signs a mutual agreement of the geopark area development with a number of parties like the local government of Sukabumi District, PTPN VIII, Biofarma Company, Jawi Regional Housing PD, BJB Bank, Universitas Padjadjaran, and tourism driving forum. Certainly, the lots of processes of the geopark area development do not escape from the process of developing the area where the geopark area is situated. In this case, it is the villages that spread through Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu National Geopark area. Since the beginning of the development of the geopark area, the road access has been built and the number of tourist has increased significantly. As a result of that, the community who were more enclosed, nowadays are exposed to different cultures. This influences their social psychology aspect as well as the relation-ship of the community in the geopark area. A destination is considered providing tourism development if beforehand, there have been tourism activities. To be able to increase the potentials, it is important to plan a much better development. According to [8], three main principles in sustainability development are A. Ecological sustainability It is to ensure that the development done is in line with the process of ecology, biology and the existing ecological resources. B. Social and Cultural Sustainability It ensures that the development gives a positive impact on the community around the geopark and it is in line with customs and values applied in the community. C. Economic Sustainability It ensures that the development is economically efficient and the resources used can linger for the need in the future. The development of a geopark area is in accordance to ecotourism that actively contributes to activities of natural and cultural conservation and involves the local community in planning, developing and managing the tourism as well as giving a positive contribution to the community prosperity. The development itself is done in the form of independent tourism or organized in a small group [9] [10]. In other words, ecotourism is a form of tourism industry based on the environment that gives a small impact on natural and local culture damage. At the same time, it creates job opportunity and in-come as well as helps the conservational nature itself [11]. Therefore, an effort to in-crease the capacity and the community income is a must because tourism activities attach with the inter-action of the surrounding community with the tourists. [12] see that the development of community-based and continuous tourism can be done through developing tourism villages. Through developing them, it is expected that equity can be achieved in line with the concept of lingering tourism development. The presence and management of tourism village make the product of tourism exhibit the identity of rural cultures. Based on the study conducted, there are some important works to be done by the government and related parties in developing the geopark area and other surrounding local development described as follows. It is urgent that infrastructure capacity be improved to ease the tourists to go to the tourist destination as well as to develop the potentials of tourist destination needed by the tourists; The central government should concern about this leading tourist destination as soon as possible because the facility of tourist activities and the environment in this area are still laking so that the tourists still feel less comfortable and safe; The government should work together with private parties and the community, especially regarding funding and the management of tourism environment; Annual events through printed and electronic media promotions should be done continuously; The ability of human resources around the area to create creative works as an attraction for tourists should be improved so they will spend their money for the works. In anticipating unpredictable disasters, an effort to give counseling and training to the local community when the disaster happens can be done. It is also done to improve the quality of disaster mitigation-based facility so that the tourists keep safe. The role of the local community in constructing and developing Ciletuh Geopark, South Sukabumi becomes an important part. The genuine participation of the local community by involving the entire com-munity in overall stages of development, starting from the planning process, decision making and su-pervision of the developing tourism village program [12] [13]. Having an active participation of the local community in each stage of activity, it is expected they could get knowledge, awareness, and independence of the lo-cal community. Moreover, the impact of the local community prosperity can be realized sustainably. IV. CONCLUSION The development of the geopark area has to be seen and considered as one intact unity. The indica-tor of the local community prosperity at Ciletuh Geopark is not only measured based on economic in-come only. Geological, biological and cultural diver-sity in the unity of Ciletuh Geopark is a potential miracle that need to be maintained and protected by stakeholders. The local community as the most important stakeholder [14] must gain the first and main benefits from the development of Ciletuh Geopark. An improvement of partic-Advances in Economics, Business and Management Research, volume 11767 ipation of the community is also one of the efforts in improving the local community prosperity. In the process of constructing Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark area, the government of Sukabumi District and the provincial government of West Java must help each other and keep synergizing to be able to complete all pre-requirements to be listed in the network of UNESCO Global Geopark UGG as well as possible. By working together with various parties, such as Universitas Padjadjaran as the higher education party, Biofarma Company as the business party, PTPN VIII as the BUMN party, PD Jawi as the local company party, BJB Bank as the banking party and the tourism driving forum, it is expected that all processes of development at Ciletuh-Palabuhanratu Geopark area will accelerate and run smoothly.
