August-December is the best season to come

to Lorentsz National Park

Tourism was limited to less than 100 people in 1998. Before

recent civil unrest, some 50 climbers ascended Puncak Jaya

each year.

There are some hotels in Wamena and some modern (withtraditional style) resorts near Baliem Valley

Visitors need several permits from different places (ministries,

army, police etc) to travel to the island in general and climbing

the mountain specifically.

Environment Infrastructures Security

The predominantly open-cast mining techniques have had seriousenvironmental impacts:250,000 tones of heavy metal and other

wastes are poured into the local river every day, there are also oilspillages, logging for fuel and extensive dormitory development tohouse the work force of 4,000 (Handelsman, 2009; Kartawinata &Widjaja,1988; Petocz,1989).

One petroleum exploration title held

by Conoco remains in the Park on thesoutheastern edge.

A forestry concession outside the

eastern boundary of Lorentz also

directly affects the site by permitting

illegal water-accessed logging andpoaching, a taking for whichcompensation is never considered.

The Effect of the Copper and Gold mining

1. Some hills and small mountains were notthere anymore

2. Millions of Trees were cut down

3. Thousand of animals from insects to big wildanimals died

4. River got polluted

5. Fresh water fishes died6. People cant use water for drink and cooking

7. Sea also got polluted as the river brought thetailing into the sea

8. Sea fishes and other sea fauna died

9. The air nearby the mining is not freshanymore

10. Causing global warming

A greater and growing threat comes from road andlane building and uncontrolled tourism in thevulnerable high altitude swampy Lake Habbema basin.

Other threats include three road schemes whichwould traverse Lorentz National Park including a road

between Timika on the western boundary andAramsolki in the centre of the park (Kartawinata andWidjaja, 1988).

A minor and localized threat comes from uncontrolledtourism developments in the Lake Habbema area (ahigh altitude swampland). Trekking to Mt. Jaya has

already had severe ecological impacts due to litteringand firewood collecting. Hiking in the moss-fernecosystem will certainly lead to more degradation.

Since a number act of

near Lorentsz National Park,

some countries release travel

warning to avoid to come to

Papua.

Problem Review

24

Connectivity between region is not well developed

Development gap between western and eastern parts of Indonesia

High cost of materials distributionhigh price

High cost of transportation from country central

The quality of human resources in eastern region very different compared to

western region

Natural resources are dominated authorized by foreign company

National political issue sometimes became a purpose of some actions

eg: cement in Papua Rp 1.5 million/sack ~156 USD, in Java 55000/sack ~6 USD.Gasoline in Papua Rp 70.000/liters ~7USD, in Java Rp 4500/liters ~0.5 USD


25/28


26/28

Recommendation

26

Promote the establishment of good connectivity by air, seaand land : Improvement and expansion of Timika Airport,Improvement both of Road and Seaport.

Synergy, coordination, integration and communication of

stakeholders is a prerequisite for the development of tourism ;Keep the attempts debottle necking (solution)

For investment in the tourism needs commitment ofstakeholders, especially in eliminating high cost economy

Tourism infrastructure should receive priority attention fromthe central government and local


27/28

Recommendation

27

Need for human resource readiness : Preparation ofquality human resources through manpower training andcapacity building for universities; Need to think out of thebox (not dictate state) ; Undertake initiatives in the regionin the implementation of enterprising spirit of thegovernment in the frame of regional autonomy

Need for local preparedness goal area destinations :

Ensure allocation of mining zones for Papua ProvinceSpatial Plan as well as in regency level spatial planningdocuments;

The tourism sector has the potential rescue Indonesia'seconomic crisis facing Europe and the economicslowdown USA
