So there is a need for an analytical study of tourism planning that is tailored to the characteristics of the region to create sustainable tourism. This research was conducted at the Pelang Regional Tourism Destination, Trenggalek Regency using Recreation Opportunity Spectrum Analysis and the con- cept of Attractions, Amenities, Access, Ancillary to see tourism poten- tial. The research methodology used is Qualitative Description with the methods of collecting observation data, documentation studies and in- depth interviews. Tourism development in the Pelang Regional Tour- ism Destinations based on regional tourism development planning is in- cluded in the concept of natural tourism development with collaborative management between stakeholders, but in the current development im- plementation when viewed from the Recreation Opportunity Spectrum analysis there is no clear management system and the Pelang Tourism Destinations are classified as the characteristics of semi-primitive areas have not paid attention to aspects of appropriate land use functions, es- pecially in the development of tourism supporting infrastructure.

Tourism is expected to be sustainable for the natural and social resources of local communities in tourism areas (Newsome, Moore and Dowling, 2013). It is the same thing that is now starting to be realized by stakeholders in Pelang District, the potential for areas with coastlines to become opportunities for tourism development. Purpose of the research is to analyze the potential development planning of the Pelang Regional Tourism Destination area, the characteristics of the area with hilly and coastal landscapes have the opportu- nity to become superior tourism, but over time there needs to be a balance between the usability of the area and the value of the area designation, especially in tourism, so that tourism becomes a priority. sustainable industry. The analysis of regional charac- teristics will be a guideline for the develop- ment and planning of tourism areas, espe- cially in determining aspects of supporting tourism activities, tourism transportation, tourism accommodation and other tourism supporting infrastructure. Purpose of the research is to analyze the potential development planning of the Pelang destination area by using a tourism planning analysis that is adapted to the cha- racteristics of the region, in order to create sustainable tourism both in terms of natural resources, economy and socio-culture of the local community. Thus, tourism deve- lopment planning is no longer based on the interests of certain stakeholders. LITERATURE REVIEW Tourism Destinations A geographical area located in one or more administrative areas in which there are tourist attractions, public facilities, tou- rism facilities, accessibility, and communi- ties that are interrelated and complement rism potential of a tourism destination area. The main function of the tourism industry is to serve tourists, all forms of activity in tourism are related to service products and are tangible (Camilleri, 2018). Tourism destinations are the center of activities in the tourism industry, in tourism destina- tions a network of systems is formed that can have an impact on other supporting sectors, both positive and negative , so that it is necessary to have tourism planning and management wrapped in the concept of sustainability (Cooper, 2016). Regional planning and development is important to adjust land use, so that in- tegrated development in an area creates memorable tourism, development manage- ment provides identification of opportuni- ties for development more sustainable tou- rism Development planning will provide a match between tourist expectations and the availability of potential developed in tou- rism activities In its development aspects of ROS (Recreation Opportunity Spectrum) Analysis makes management development aspects based on regional characteristics so that they are integrated (Brown, 1982). Tourism development is also for- med based on tourism potential which is currently not only about luxury and mo- dern services, but also as a fulfillment of people’s curiosity about activities in certain places so that they can gain new experien- ces in the midst of post-modern community trends (Page, 2019). New experiences are the main goal of visiting destinations with uniqueness, beauty, and value in the form of a diversity of natural, cultural, and man- made wealth that is the target or purpose of tourist visits (Tourism Law, 2009). In the development of tourism activities, various innovations in planning and developing tourist destinations have become impor- tant, to improve the quality of tourist attrac- tions. Regional characteristics, the availa- bility of accommodation, access, facilities and infrastructure for attractions that are E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2.

Tourism destinations are areas that are limited by administration, which can be in the form of regions, countries, islands, cities and villages, where tourists spend at least one night in the area using tourism supporting products, tourism resources and enjoying the attractions found in tourism destinations. Tourism destinations are also limited based on their management to in- crease marketability and the target market that is expected to come to visit (UNWTO, 2002). Destination analysis is important to determine the potential of the Pelang tou- rism area, supporting sectors and other in- dustries in the implementation of tourism. Regional Tourism Strategic Areas Tour- ism destination areas that have the main function of tourism with planning and de- velopment according to their potential in one or more aspects so as to have an impact on other sectors, such as economic, social and cultural growth, empowerment of na- tural resources, and environmental carrying capacity. Regional Strategic Areas are de- fined as tourism destinations that are supe- rior to certain regions in increasing tourism development, the KSPD referred to in this study is the Plang KSPD which is a tourism area with a natural concept with collabora- tive management. This analysis is used to see the suitability of the area designation with the regional planning and develop- ment policies of Trenggalek Regency so as to make sustainable tourism. Recreation Opportunity Spectrum As a concept used in developing a planning framework for outdoor recreation areas, ROS is used to be able to define the characteristics of the area and the suitabili- ty of land use and transportation patterns as well as other tourism supporting facilities. Clark and Stankey (1979) describe the most specific arrangement of factors that influen- ce the development of tourism areas. Imp- lying that six basic factors are used to de- fine ROS namely access, use of resources outside of tourism, tourism management, social interaction, acceptance of visitor im- pacts, and other acceptable impacts. Brown (1982) details 6 (six) physical characteris- tics of the region in determining planning and development opportunities for tourism areas, Primitive Destination Setting, which is characterized as an area where human activity is very rare except for those who expect tranquility to blend with nature, the use of modern transportation is not allo- wed, primitive destinations are destinations that do not prioritize facilities. Semi-Pri- mitive is divided into semi-primitive with motorized vehicles and without motorized vehicles. Characteristics of destinations with minimal provision of facilities as a safe limit both against environmental da- mage and visits, management control may be found in the area but is very low, if semi- primitives are motorized, it is possible to use vehicles motorized but very low, and vice versa if the semi-primitive area is non-motorized then the use of motorized vehicles is not allowed but there is still ma- nagement control that is different from pri- mitive where all forms of activity are only with nature without any mixing of activi- ties outside the destination. Next, Roaded Natural is a destination with the charac- teristics of a natural area but with facilities developed outside the tourism destination area to provide comfort, tourist attractions are still in the form of natural landscapes with limited management, activities outsi- de of tourism can also be found in this area but are still very rare. Characteristics of ru- ral areas of destinations with facilities that have been developed to be able to receive visits, modification of renewable resources and the development of other supporting fa- cilities have begun to increase.

Urban Characteristics of desti- nations with modern facilities, infrastructu- re facilities are provided in large numbers with emphasis on comfort and fulfillment capacity with the number of visits mass, the convenience factor takes precedence over the physical character of the environment. ROS analysis is used to identify the Pelang Regional Tourism Destinations and the sui- tability of tourism planning development to the physical environment of the region. Es- pecially in determining the characteristics and classification of tourist attractions that are designated as Tourism Strategic Areas for Pelang Beach and Kili - Kili Beach Re- gions. Aspect 4A Formation of tourism destinations that can attract tourist visits cannot be separated from aspects of 4A (Attractions, Amenities, Access, Ancillary) (Cooper, 2016). Tourist attraction is anything that has uniqueness, beauty, and value in the form of a diversity of natural, cultural, and man-made wealth that is the target or purpose of tourist vi- sits. Amenities are all forms of activities and services provided to meet the needs of tourists during their visit to travel, both ac- commodation facilities, food and beverage services, souvenirs, banking and other addi- tional facilities. Access is often interpreted as road facilities available in tourism desti- nations, access is also about transportation networks and transport capacity in meeting the needs of moving between areas of ori- gin to tourist destinations, including the availability of land terminal infrastructure, air and rail lines, in the research on Sustai- nable Development Strategy For Ecotou- rism at Tangkahan, North Sumatra by Wi- ranatha (2015), access indicators in tourism are considered important by visitors both in terms of means of communication and tran- sportation, but from the results of research access to tourist attractions is inadequa- te. Ancillary is a destination management organization or management system that exists in tourism destinations, management can be in the form of formal and informal organizations, national or regional as well as the public or private sector. METHODS research was conducted at Pelang Re- gional Tourism Destinations, Trenggalek Regency in two tourist attractions namely Kili - Kili beach and Pelang beach, data was collected through observation and do- cumentation related to supporting Pelang tourism planning and development. In- depth interviews were conducted to obtain information about the development stages currently in the DPD Pelang. This research approach uses a qualitative approach with a qualitative descriptive method, looking for an overview of the research data, compa- ring the data obtained and looking for the relationship between each data obtained. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION Tourism development is inseparable from the wealth of resources that can be potential in determining each attraction that will be a factor attracting tourists to vi- sit a tourism destination (Boniface, Brian and Cooper, 2014). Tourist attraction itself is defined as an activity that is unique and can provide a value experience for visiting tourists, the existence of a leading destina- tion in Trenggalek Regency, which is one of the regencies that is included in strong economic development in the Wilis circle area. The Panggul KSPD Destination is a regional tourism planning and develop- ment area. The potential of tourism destinations is also supported by four aspects of tou- rism, the nature of tourism that demands collaboration between every aspect of the organization and product so as to produce E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8.

Potential 4A (Attractions, Ameni- ties, Access, Ancillary) Pelang Regional Tourism Destinations. Attractions, all forms of activities that can be enjoyed and carried out by tourists while doing tourism are very important, va- rious forms of tourist attractions or tourist attractions are the leading tourist destina- tions in the Pelang area which are superior in regional tourism development. The com- bination of types of attractions is a poten- tial in the development of regional tourism, several tourist attractions are found in tou- rism destinations in the Pelang area. Natural tourist attractions, attrac- tions whose sources come from natural wealth, ownership of attractions are often disguised as administrative areas or local ownership, these attractions are classified as resource-based tourist attractions thus the characteristics of the area become im- portant to the selling value of attractions. The attractions of DPD Pelang are resour- ce-based, Pelang beach which is located in the southern region is approximately 1.5 hours to 2 hours drive from the city cen- ter of Trenggalek district, white sand beach with a direct boundary to the Indian Oce- an, the uniqueness of Pelang beach is also found in the presence of a waterfall. The characteristics of the hilly area make it an added value. Kili-Kili Beach, is a beach that is still in the same line as Pelang beach but is separated from Bukittinggi, the cha- racteristics of Kili-Kili beach are more of a turtle conservation area, the activities that are the main attraction on Kili-Kili beach are mostly turtle conservation activities. tourists who come have the characteristics of special interest tourists. An artificial tourist attraction, this at- traction was originally not there because of tourism activities but functioned for other activities, but there are also tourist attrac- tions that are deliberately made to fulfill the wishes of tourists (Cooper, 2016). Tourist attractions made by DPD Pelang include heritage areas, both historical and cultural heritages, as well as the planning process for developing a culinary center that will become an additional attraction so that it will become a new value in the introduc- tion of local culinary that is not only diffe- rent from other regions but also has history. The existence of natural and artificial tourist attractions in the Pelang DPD is a potential tourism development that is in- teresting to visit, the location of tourist at- tractions in one area and a short travel time are the choices for tourists visiting various types of attractions. Amenities, most tourist activities are carried out in tourist destinations, the needs needed during tourism will be important to be available in the area, the provision of facilities shows the multi-sectoral natu- re of tourism supply and interdependence between various sectors ranging from the provision of physical facilities to the need for service products hospitality (Cooper, 2016). The availability of additional facili- ties and hospitality provides an opportunity to increase regional income if every avai- lable facility is local and under regional ow- nership, the expenditures made by tourists will directly become income for the region (Cooper, 2016). The availability of hospita- lity services in the form of lodging and food and beverage services from DPD Pelang is more for MSMEs, the added value of faci- lities with management from MSMEs ma- kes strengthening the local economy, local cultural values and the introduction of local culinary delights will be an attraction for tourists to choose to use services provided locally. However, what is often an obstac- le in the development ofservices hospitali- ty which also includes food and beverage services regarding management in services is the conformity of expectations to be ob- tained while using the available services, as E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8.

Access, access is defined as the availability of supporting facilities and infrastructure to and while in tourism destinations, not only as the provision of connecting roads, terminals, but also tran- sportation networks that support tourism which is an activity of moving from the area of origin to the destination. The con- venience and diversity of transportation modes and supporting infrastructure during the trip is an experience for tourists when going to tourist destinations, traveling from one area to another will not be easy and efficient if it is not supported by the avai- lability of adequate transportation support facilities and infrastructure, both in terms of numbers availability with the capacity of the facility as well as the feasibility of the transportation network to be used (Bonifa- ce, Brian and Cooper, 2014). DPD Pelang does not yet have an integrated transportati- on system, the procurement of public tran- sportation in the form of a transportation network is not well organized, the types of public transportation that can be used are li- mited with operating hours and the range of service areas for tourism locations can only be reached by private vehicles. In addition, several accesses to tourist attractions to the dominant beach in the area behind the hills are in poor condition. Ancillary, is another aspect that must exist in tourism destinations, management organizations or in tourism are known as Destination Management Organizations (DMOs) (Pike and Page, 2014). DMOs or organizations that manage tourism can be formal or non-formal, in tourism in DPD Pelang management is intertwined with the division of obligations in every tourism de- velopment, both at the district, sub-district and village levels. The management of each tourist attraction in the Pelang DPD consists of the local government, local communities and contributions from con- servation activists, especially for the Kili- kili beach whose main attraction is turtle conservation. However, often the effective- ness of various tourist attraction managers becomes an obstacle in developing better tourism services, sectoral ego becomes an important issue, especially related to user fees and the provision of tourism suppor- ting infrastructure development. This can also be an obstacle if coordination between stakeholders is not well established, as is what is happening in the Pelang DPD, the- re is a collaboration gap between relevant stakeholders in tourism development and marketing at the district, sub-district and village levels. build collaborative coor- dination among stakeholders. Recreation Opportunity Spectrum, planning for tourist destinations that are used to analyze the character of tour- ist destinations to be able to provide di- verse marketing opportunities, ROS plan- ning framework in research aims to see land management and suitability (Brown, 1982). As in this paper, the existence of tourist attractions in the strategic area of the Pelang tourism destination makes this area with a hilly structure an opportunity to become an outdoor tourist attraction, with a unique landscape that is different from the surrounding area with coastal tourist attrac- tions. Development planning in the form of existing systems in tourism, management arrangements and supporting industry sup- port to make tourism activities develop sustainably, the existence of a tourist attrac- tion in the Pelang area managed by various stakeholders has its own challenges, both in the form of policies and regulations, ad- ministrative boundaries and management authorized to carry out regional planning and development in the form of tourism supporting infrastructure and other 4A as- pects. Such characteristics must of course also be a benchmark in making further E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2.

The planning of the Pelang Beach and Kili - Kili KSPD which is a form of outdoor tourism activity and comes from the existence of resources makes the tourist attraction area unique and has a marketing selling value. The factors that influence the development of the Kili - Kili and Pelang Beach areas seen from the characteristics of the area that have been adopted from (Clark and Stankey in Sarbanes, 2011) provide an overview of the factors that influence tourism development seen from various aspects of supporting the tourism industry. Analysis of ROS characteristics provides guidance for relevant stakeholders regarding regional development so that it can guide policy making and regional planning decisions. Clark and Stankey provide an overview of how the benefits of ROS in analyzing the characteristics of the area so that it can provide convenience and assist in the formulation of appropriate management objectives, for example an area that cannot receive noise, namely the Primitive area, of course, developed using the concept of special interest tourism that only certain people only hope for peace in the journey undertaken. The aspect that was seen during the research on the Pelang KSDP, especially the Kili - Kili beach and the first Pelang beach in the form of access, was divided into three basic components in looking at the characteristics of the region, including: Ease of reaching tourism destinations, Pelang KSPD especially Pelang Beach and Kili - Kili which are the mainstay of tou- rism. Natural tourist attraction located in an area with a hilly landscape and not on the main road connecting the regions ma- kes access to the location a fairly long time allocation, taking less than 2 - 3 hours drive from the city center of Trenggalek Regen- cy. However, the availability of directions makes it easier to find the location of tourist attractions. The design of the ease of reach- ing the area is one of the determining fac- tors for regional development, determining the right development concept to have a sustainable impact on tourism destinations. The access system to tourism des- tinations is one of the factors in planning and developing tourism destination areas, the suitability of road facilities and the transportation used will have an impact on regional functions, the readiness of the re- gion to accept noise with the construction of road facilities and transportation routes is an important aspect that must be conside- red. In the table above, the Pelang KSPD, especially the Kili-Kili and Pelang beach- es, which are behind the hills, makes land use for road infrastructure development important, adapted to semi-primitive areas, especially with hilly landscapes, regional resilience and regional acceptance capacity will be important when there is a change in the concept of tourism development, KSPD Pelang which in this case the Kili - Kili and Pelang beaches are two tourist attractions with the concept of nature, but the charac- teristics of the 2 beaches have differences, especially attractions and activities that tourists can do for Kili - Kili beach tourism activities designed not for mass tourism and not with modern transportation routes and facilities, this is because the area is a conservation area, in contrast to Pelang beach which is designed to accept tourists without special interests. However, when viewed from the Pelang beach area, aspects of transportation routes and road facilities, especially in tourist attractions, are no lon- ger semi-primitive areas, it is also a note in this study that it is important in tourism sustainability to pay attention to land use and land use in accordance with the charac- teristics use in the development of tourism facilities and infrastructure. Access to the area is still largely constrained by the quali- ty of roads and lanes, inadequate roads and well-designed transportation routes. Mode of Transport, the provision of E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2. (2021): 172-183 179http://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/eot e-ISSN 2407-392X. p-ISSN 2541-0857 adequate transportation facilities will make the image of a tourist destination better, the importance of the role of transportation is now also a global issue, especially regar- ding the safety and comfort of transporta- tion users, therefore the establishment of policies regarding the development and procurement of mass transportation sup- porting tourism activities is very important. Important in its implementation, the policy of using transportation can also support ac- tivities, especially tourism with the concept of nature that prioritizes hospitality and tourism sustainability. At the outset, it is easy to assume that each form of transport is very different. In fact, all systems share some common characteristics, which have important practical implications. As Bur- kart and Medlik stated more than 25 years ago: ‘Transportation systems can be analy- zed in three parts: Paths or routes, Means used, and Infrastructure or terminals’ (Bur- kart and Medlik, in Middleton, 2009). Mo- dern transportation is a factor that reduces the motivation of visits to tourist attractions, but there are some exceptions to this, in the development of Pelang KSPD tourism which is an area with a natural landscape describing the development of transporta- tion facilities that are not environmentally friendly, the use of transportation facilities is more important towards regional access. The lack of environmentally friendly mass transportation such as a well-systemized transportation network makes this area a semi-primitive area characteristic with mo- torized transportation support, but in some areas it is still considered a semi-primitive area without motorized transportation, this is because the area was developed as a con- servation area. turtles so that the area’s ent- ry point to the location of a tourist attraction is without the use of transportation modes. The available mode of transportation is li- mited to land transportation, and only in the form of buses between cities within the province and village transportation, but cannot directly reach tourist destinations. The lack of development and provision of transportation means a minus in tourism development when viewed from the satis- faction of tourists to enjoy a comfortable and safe travel atmosphere. Utilization of Resources Outside of Tourism Activities, the design in the de- velopment of areas that are adapted to the needs of the population who resides per- manently in the tourism destination area becomes important as tourism develops, the availability of resources will become economic goods for local communities if there is no control in planning and deve- loping tourism. Every resource is basically the property of the local community, there must be an evaluation in the use and utili- zation of resources so that they do not be- come scarce goods. Utilization of resources outside of tourism activities usually occurs due to the high number of visits to tourism destinations, causing high competitiveness between tourists and local communities. The existence of the Pelang KSPD tourism destination in an unspoiled area requires planning and development of nature-based tourism by taking into account sustainab- le resources. sustainable development is designed to meet the needs of the present without eliminating its existence in the fu- ture, but several aspects that occur in tou- rism development in the Pelang KSPD area regarding the development of permanent facilities that eliminate the main functions of nature-based tourism areas, such as the provision of permanent footpaths, stairs to the hills , and several irrigation lines and artificial ponds. So with the characteristics of areas with semi-permanent landscapes, attention is needed, especially in develo- ping and procuring infrastructure to support sustainable tourism activities. Ecologically sustainable, namely: tourism development does not cause negative effects on the lo- cal ecosystem. In addition, conservation is a necessity that must be pursued to protect E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2.

Socially acceptable, namely: refers to the ability of local communities to absorb tou- rism activities without causing social con- flict. 3. Culturally adaptive, meaning that local communities are able to adapt to a quite different tourist culture (tourist cul- ture). 4. Economically profitable, meaning: the benefits derived from tourism activities can improve the welfare of the community (Arida and Sunarta, 2017). Availability of Tourism Destination Managers, in tourism management the- re are many models that can be applied in planning and building the management of tourism destinations, especially to increase demand (Sharma, 2014), but there is often a mismatch between the expectations of the stakeholders who are responsible for a particular tourism destination. Strategic mechanisms are often needed in achieving management conformity, Hall and Mcart- hur in Newsome convey several examples of management in conservation areas with regional zoning, every aspect of zoning is developed according to the function of the area, especially towards the procurement and improvement of facilities and infra- structure. The conservation area is prohi- bited from having permanent buildings, and no activities are allowed during the pe- riod of environmental restoration for some time in order to maintain the balance of the ecosystem. similar to the management contained in the development of the Pelang KSPD area, the priority of management be- comes important when the area is included in the conservation area, namely the Kili - Kili coast, the manager becomes the main door in enforcing development and conser- vation policies, understanding the process in conservation and the vulnerability of the area will become important aspect in main- taining the sustainability and sustainability of tourism. However, a collaborative ma- nagement system is also another option to create a balance in management by invol- ving every tourism stakeholder, both local governments, local communities, and con- servation observers. In contrast to Kili-kili beach, Pelang beach dominates the role of local government under the district tourism office, every aspect of development and planning is managed by the dina, with the involvement of local communities who are semi-involved. The characteristics of ma- nagement in the development and planning of the Pelang KSPD tourism are far from balanced collaboration, the dominance of several parties who are still strong tends to hinder tourism development, the readiness of each tourism stakeholder in terms of resources is still very limited so that it can be categorized as an area with semi-primi- tive characteristics with limitations. the use of technology in the process of managing tourist attractions, especially in terms of entry fees and networks between tourist at- tractions in recording the number of visits at a certain time. Social interaction is defined as a dy- namic relationship between individuals and individuals, between individuals and groups or between groups and groups in the form of cooperation, competition or conflict. Social interaction is an orderly re- lationship in the form of actions based on social values and norms prevailing in so- ciety. Social interaction is not enough just to be explained as a reciprocal relationship between humans based on certain patterns, because social interaction is still based on certain characteristics or characters. In or- der to be categorized as a form of interac- tion, the reciprocal relationship between humans must have certain criteria such as, there must be more than one actor, there is communication between actors, there is a time dimension and there are certain goals (Setiadi and Kolip, 2011). In social inter- action there are also elements, namely: so- cial action; This action is understood as an act, behavior or action taken by humans to E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2. (2021): 172-183 181http://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/eot e-ISSN 2407-392X. p-ISSN 2541-0857 achieve certain goals. social contacts; indi- vidual or group action in the form of a sign that has meaning for the perpetrator, and the recipient responds to the action with a reac- tion. social communication; interpreted as a process of giving mutual interpretation to or from between parties who are in a rela- tionship and through that interpretation the parties who are interconnected manifest be- havior as a reaction to the intent or messa- ge intended by the other party (Setiadi and Kolip, 2011). Social interactions that occur in the community in the Pelang KSPD area, between the community and tourists are not enough to just be explained as reciprocal relationships. Rather, it is based on several elements, so that it can be categorized as a form of interaction. The elements contained in social interaction are social action, so- cial contact and social communication. So, with the fulfillment of elements in social interaction, the relationship that exists in tourism activities between the community and tourists as well as within the communi- ty can be said to be social interaction. So- cial action, in this case the local community as the host, has not really formed the level of frequency in the reciprocal relationship of activities carried out in tourism, enough between buyers and sellers, not as hosts in service activities. Social conflict occurs only for a moment without any follow-up and gives the impression that it is not opti- mal in the field of tourism hospitality servi- ces, and social communication that occurs is limited to relationships in economic tran- sactions without any impression that con- tinues as a story that will be carried after the tour is over. Semi-primitive characteris- tics are very clearly visible in the Panggul KSPD area, but the need to increase tourism awareness from local communities will be an added value in tourism development and planning. The impact of tourist visits seen from the level of impact and the extent of the impact is still not widely seen, this is also because the number of visits is still limited to special interest tourists and local tourists but not yet mass. However, the problem of household waste and waste is something that deserves attention in order to maintain sustainability and comfort during tourism activities, it is necessary to treat household waste and waste that is not easily decom- posed so that the problem of waste and waste can turn into other positive things if the management is applied properly, both in the recycling process and in the utiliza- tion of biogas from recycled waste. This is something that is now being designed by stakeholders so that the waste problem is no longer a contributor to environmental destruction. The level of regional resilience seen from the location of the southern coastal area makes the Pelang area prone to eart- hquakes and tsunamis, building structu- res and evacuation routes are important in planning the development of tourism areas. In addition, the landscape of hilly areas that tend to be prone to landslides requires that land use in development must pay attenti- on to the border areas of ravines and cliffs. The development of tourism that is not yet mass in nature, provides an opportunity for the Pelang KSPD area to be able to provide prevention in the fulfillment of infrastruc- ture facilities that are adapted to regional characteristics. Environmentally friend- ly and sustainable infrastructure facilities will be an important aspect in fulfilling the hospitality services of the Pelang KSPD, and become a supporting element for sus- tainable tourism. The characteristics of the Pelang Coastal and Kili-Kili KSPD areas which are adapted to the determination of the characteristics of the ROS area based on the explanation above are described in table 1 Characteristics of the Pelang Coas- tal Area (Adopted from Clark and Stankey, 1979). The results of the observation and study of documentation are detailed in the table below regarding the regional analysis E-Journal of Tourism Vol.8. No.2.

Characteristics of the Pelang Coastal Area Characteristics of the Semi Primitive Region of the Pelang KSPD Area for Pelang Beach and Kili - Kili Tourist Attractions, development planning that needs to be ad- justed includes the use of resources outsi- de of tourism activities which should pay attention to local aspects so that the level of competition between local communities and tourists will not cause negative impacts in the future, In addition, the existence of disaster-prone areas requires a more plan- ned development concept, especially in the feasibility study of disaster-prone areas in tourism development. CONCLUSION Analysis of potential 4A of the Pe- lang Tourism Destination has opportunities in increasing regional tourism, especially the diversity of tourist attractions. however, in terms of access and amenities, improve- ments are needed both in terms of the avai- lability of transportation and supporting infrastructure, as well as hospitality servi- ces in the form of lodging, food and beve- rage services which are not widely availab- le. Management and collaboration between stakeholders has not been well organized and there is no special tourism organization within the local community to create tou- rism awareness. In terms of analyzing the charac- teristics of the Pelang DPD area, it is in- cluded in the character of a semi-primitive area with several supporting characteristics such as access to tourism destinations, land use functions outside of tourism activities which are still dominated by green areas, as well as the impact of tourism activities on the environment and socio-cultural sur- roundings. still relatively low. Stakeholder participation and collaboration is needed to create sustainable tourism, planning and development that is prepared by adjusting the characteristics of the region will mini- mize the negative impact of tourism.
