Abstract
Kajian ini memberi tumpuan kepada pembangunan ekopelancongan di Hutan
Belum Temengor Complex (BTFC) di utara Perak, berdasarkan perspektif lima pihak
berkepentingan. Lima pihak berkepentingan yang dikenalpasti adalah masyarakat
pribumi tempatan (orang asli), pelancong, pihak berkuasa kerajaan dan badan
pengurusan, badan bukan kerajaan serta operator pelancongan dan perniagaan.
Kaedah campuran, dengan menggunakan kedua-dua kaedah kuantitatif dan kualitatif,
telah digunakan untuk mencapai objektif kajian. Untuk kaedah kualitatif, temu bual
mendalam semi struktur digunakan untuk menemuduga komuniti orang asli,
sementara temu bual individu penting dilakukan ke atas pegawai pihak berkuasa
kerajaan dan badan pengurusan, pengurus badan bukan kerajaan serta operator
pelancongan dan perniagaan. Bagi kaedah kuantitatif, borang soal selidik diberikan
kepada pelancong dan kemudian dikutip. Konsep ekopelancongan dan teori pihak
berkepentingan menjadi kerangka teori dan konseptual bagi kajian ini. Dapatan
kajian menunjukkan bahawa aktiviti ekopelancongan hanya memberikan sedikit
perhatian kepada impak terhadap alam sekitar terutamanya pembuangan sampah di
merata-rata tempat dan pelepasan sisa kumbahan tidak terawat ke dalam tasik.
Program ekopelancongan yang ditawarkan juga tidak mengintegrasikan sepenuhnya
pendidikan kesedaran alam sekitar ke atas pelancong.
This study is focused on ecotourism development in Belum Temengor Forest
Complex (BTFC) in northern Perak state, based on the perspectives of five groups of
stakeholders. The five groups of stakeholders identified are the local indigenous
community, tourists, governmental and management authorities, NGOs, and tour and
business operators. A mixed method, using both quantitative and qualitative
methods, was used to achieve the objectives of the study. For the qualitative
methods, semi-structured in-depth interview was used to interview the indigenous
community, while key informants interview was carried out on governmental and
management authorities, NGOs and tour and business operators. In quantitative
method, questionnaire was distributed to the tourists and subsequently collected. The
concepts of ecotourism and stakeholder theory set the theoretical and conceptual
context of the study. The findings revealed that ecotourism activities pay little
concern on environmental impacts especially on littering and wastewater treatment.
Ecotourism tours also do not fully integrate environmental awareness education in
their programmes.
