Abstract

Pelancongan luar bandar bukan sahaja menyumbang kepada pendapatan negara, malah turut menyumbang kepada sumber pendapatan penduduk tempatan. Oleh itu, pelancongan luar bandar perlu diperbanyakkan lagi, terutamanya di negara sedang membangun seperti Malaysia. Walau bagaimanapun, aktiviti pelancongan sebaik-baiknya dijalankan secara lestari untuk mengurangkan kesannya kepada alam sekitar dan juga manusia. Salah satu pelancongan luar bandar yang popular pada masa kini ialah pelancongan berasaskan warisan khususnya jejak warisan batu megalitik. Pelancongan ini telah lama terkenal di luar negara. Oleh itu, pelancongan warisan ini berpotensi untuk menjadi daya tarikan kepada pelancong yang meminati warisan budaya. Kajian ini menghasilkan satu peta jejak warisan batu megalitik sebagai pelancongan lestari luar bandar di Tambunan, Sabah. Kajian ini menggunakan data kerja lapangan yang dijalankan di Tambunan. Peta jejak warisan dihasilkan dengan menggunakan kaedah analisis GIS iaitu analisis Kernel density, analisis penimbalan dan analisis kos laluan terendah (LCPA). Akhirnya, sebuah jejak warisan batu megalitik yang tidak terlalu jauh dan dekat untuk dilalui dihasilkan. Peta jejak warisan ini boleh menjadi panduan kepada pihak pengusaha pelancongan untuk mengembangkan pelancongan di Tambunan. Kajian ini menyumbang kepada pemeliharaan batu megalitik di Tambunan agar tidak pupus.

 

Rural tourism not only contributes to the national income but also contributes to the income of locals. Therefore, rural tourism needs to be increased, especially in developing countries such as Malaysia. However, tourism activities should be carried out sustainably to reduce its impact on the environment as well as human beings. One of the popular rural tourism nowadays is heritage tourism, especially the megalithic stone heritage trail. This tourism has been popular abroad. Therefore, this heritage tourism has the potential to be an attraction to tourists who are interested in cultural heritage. The output of this study is a megalithic stone heritage trail map for rural sustainable tourism in Tambunan, Sabah. The data used for this study obtained from the fieldwork which is conducted in Tambunan. Heritage trail maps are produced using GIS analysis methods which included Kernel density analysis, buffer analysis and least-cost path analysis (LCPA). Finally, a megalithic stone heritage trail that is not too far and close was produced. This heritage trail map can be a guide for tour operators to develop tourism in Tambunan. This study contributes to the preservation of megalithic stones in Tambunan so that they do not become extinct.
