Abstract

The tourist area of Ria Kenjeran in Surabaya has seen an increase in the number of visitors year on year. The increase will affect both physical and nonphysical environmental conditions. Efforts are needed to mitigate negative impacts so that Ria Kenjeran can sustainably limit visitors to its carrying capacity. This study aimed to determine the maximum number of visitors that can be accommodated by the physical environment in The Ria Kenjeran Tourist Area, and to determine when it started to be enforced. The research was conducted in Ria Kenjeran Tourist Area, Surabaya City, which contains several attractions. This study employs a descriptive quantitative approach, utilizing a sample of 20 tourists in each area. The respondents were chosen through accidental sampling. Interviews are used to gather information on the length of stay and the needs of visitors in terms of activities in each destination. Measurements were also taken to determine the size of each attraction, observations were made to determine the length of time each tourist area was in operation, and documentation was collected to gather data on tourist numbers. The data has been analysed and incorporated into the Regional Carrying Capacity formula, which allows tourism growth to be predicted. The study shows that the physical carrying capacity of the Ria Kenjeran tourist area is 32,177 visitors per day. This figure is expected to be reached in 2042. Therefore, from 2042 it will be necessary to limit the number of visitors to a maximum of 32,177 per day.
