Tourism Park Policy Model in Reducing Emissions and Improving Public Health

Abstract

The aim of this research is to create and evaluate a tourism park policy model in the Jember City Final Disposal Site (TPA) area in an effort to reduce exhaust emissions and improve public health. This study employed a quantitative approach using the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) method to examine the relationship between public health, exhaust gas regulation, and policy variables related to tourist parks. A survey was used to gather information from the surrounding community, landfill managers, and relevant policy officials. The study's findings indicate that the tourist park policy's implementation significantly affects exhaust gas control, which in turn enhances the neighborhood's general health by reducing pollutants in the air. The SEM model that was established indicates that a number of elements, including park design, educational resources, and environmental health initiatives, are critical to the success of these policies. These results suggest that the creation of tourism parks as part of an integrated approach can not only lessen the harmful effects of exhaust emissions but also enhance the welfare and standard of living of the local population. In order for the development of tourist parks in the TPA area to be an inventive and long-lasting solution to Jember City's environmental and health problems, this research offers recommendations for local governments and stakeholders to adopt this policy model as part of an environmental and public health management strategy.
