Sustainable Economic Resource Utilization Based in Digital Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) In Jember Tin Garden Agrotourism

Abstract

Agrowisata Jember Tin Garden is a unique destination in Jember, East Java, focusing on the cultivation of tin plants. This place offers an educational tourism experience about organic farming and sustainability. However, there are still opportunities to enhance the use of information technology, particularly by implementing Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) to improve operational efficiency and support the concept of a green economy. Through the integration of an ERP system, Jember Tin Garden can reduce the use of paper and inorganic materials while also enhancing technology-based tourism management. This will support sustainable economic growth and strengthen the agriculture-based tourism sector. The research problem formulation is to identify challenges and opportunities in managing economic resources at Agrowisata Jember Tin Garden and to formulate effective strategies to strengthen the utilization of sustainable economic resources through digital Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) at the location. The research objectives include identifying these challenges and opportunities, designing effective strategies, and implementing and evaluating the impact of digitally implementing ERP systems on the utilization of sustainable economic resources at Agrowisata Jember Tin Garden.Agrowisata involves activities in rural areas that encompass agriculture, natural beauty, and local culture, while Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) is a business management solution that automates organizational functions. Sustainable economic development aims to meet current needs without sacrificing future generations, while a circular economy utilizes resources sustainably. In implementation, the web platform uses a Frontend framework for display and a Backend for business logic and database. This research uses a qualitative method with a case study approach to delve into the management of economic resources at Jember Tin Garden. The research object is located in the Sumbersari District, Jember Regency, chosen due to the challenges of unintegrated tourism management. The digital implementation of the Enterprise Resource Planning (ERP) system is aimed at enhancing the potential of digitally based agrotourism. The types of data used are primary and secondary, collected through structured interviews, participant observation, documentation, and literature studies. Data analysis is conducted using the A.D.D.I.E. model, which involves recording the desired platform functions, design, development, and maintenance of the platform according to the research object's needs. Jember Tin Garden is a unique agrotourism destination in Jember Regency, East Java, renowned for its tin plants. Visitors can also find various other unique plants such as kiojay mangoes and Jamaican guavas, as well as breeding of klanceng bees. All plants are organically cared for without the use of chemicals, with compost fertilizer from organic waste in the surrounding area. However, the challenges faced include a lack of knowledge about technology-based tourism business information systems and suboptimal promotion. Research steps include preliminary studies and field studies with interviews with managers, local residents, and tourists, as well as literature studies to find related literature.
