Abstract

This study aims to analyze the tourism carrying capacity of the Babak Pelangi Waterfall tourist attraction in the Dry Land Area in Lantan Village, Central Lombok Regency. Tourism carrying capacity is important to ensure that tourism activities do not exceed environmental capacity and maintain visitor comfort. The study used a quantitative approach through observation methods, questionnaires to 30 tourists, interviews with managers, and literature studies. The calculation of carrying capacity was carried out using the Cifuentes (1992) formula at three levels: physical carrying capacity (PCC), real carrying capacity (RCC), and effective carrying capacity (ECC), taking into account correction factors such as rainfall, slope gradient, soil sensitivity, and flora diversity index. The analysis results show that the PCC value is 1,413 tourists/day, RCC is 145 tourists/day, and ECC is 43 tourists/day. The average real visit of 20 tourists/day is still far below the maximum capacity, so the tourism carrying capacity of Babak Pelangi Waterfall is categorized as large and can still be developed further.
