THE TOURISM POTENTIAL MAPPING IN WERU SUBDRISTRICT SUKOHARJO REGENCY YEAR 2019

This research aims to: 1) to understand the distribution of tour ist location in Weru Sub-district Sukoharjo Regency, 2) to analyse the tourism potential in Weru Subdistrict Sukoharjo Regency. Th is research used spatial descriptive method by using primary data from coordinate point of each tour ist location and second ary data from Indonesian Topographic Map (RBI) . The data collection used in this research was documentation and observation, while the data analysing technique was scoring technique and map analysing. Scoring technique is done by using three main variables which are tourism’s attraction, accessibility, facilities and infrastructure. The research result show ed that Weru Sub-district has three tourism’s attractions which consist of two cultural attractions and one natural attraction that are spread in two locations in Karanganyar Village (Si rih Temple) and Jatingarang Village (Curug Pleret and Ki Ageng Purwoto Sidiq Tomb). From the observation and the score calculation, it was shown that Curug Pleret was categorized as a very potential tourist site, while Ki Ageng Purwoto Sidiq Tomb and Sirih Temple were categorized as potential and less potential tourist location respectively.

Information System (GIS) for mapping natural and cultural tourism in Sukoharjo Regency by Partono, B., & Rahman, M. K (2016). The results of its research show that Sukoharjo has 16 attraction places which consist of 10 cultural attractions and 6 natural attraction places which is spread in 10 Districts.
Therefore, this research aims to continue the study from Partono, B., & Rahman, M. K but in a more detailed scale by selecting one of sub-districts in Sukoharjo Regency which is Weru subdistrict.

Study Area
This research was conducted in Weru sub-district, in Sukoharjo Regency, including 3 tourism attractions which are Sirih Temple located in Karanganyar, Curug Pleret and Ki Ageng Purwoto Sidiq Tomb that are located in Jatingarang.

Research Method
This research used spatial descriptive method. Descriptive method is used to systematically describe the facts or characteristics of certain populations or certain fields actually and accurately (Hasan, 2002: 22) 3. Data Source The data source of this research was primary and secondary data. The primary data was the coordinate information of each tourist spot the form of the coordinates of each tourism location is obtained by using a tool that is the Global Positioning System (GPS), while secondary data in the form of digital RBI map is used as a base map to make maps of tourism potential.

Data Collection
Data collecting technique that is used in this research was documentation and observation.
Observation is used to gain premier data while documentation technique is used to obtain seconder data.

Data Analysis
This research used scoring and mapping analysis technique. Scoring was applied to find out the potential value in each tourism attraction by using scoring method which covers of tourism attractions, infrastructures, and accessibilities variables. While mapping analysis technique was used to produce map of tourism potential where the GPS coordinates were obtained by the fields that will be combined with scoring data results to be processed by using GIS technology.
C. RESULTS

Distribution of Tourism Object in Weru Sub-district
According to observation result, it can be concluded that Weru Sub-district has three tourism objects which include one natural attraction and two cultural attraction. The information of tourism attraction was obtained by GPS plotting results in the form of coordinate as served in the The coordinate data of tourism object was presented through a point symbol in the map presentation and was processed using Geographic Information System (GIS). It was done by doing overlay of coordinate data to the basic map of Indonesian Topographical Map (RBI).
The results of overlay analysis eventually produced the distribution map of tourism attraction objects in Weru Sub-district in Sukoharjo Regency ( Figure 2).

Potential of Tourism Attraction in Weru Sub-District
The tourism potential shows the condition of tourism attraction in the field when this research was conducted, therefore the development of these tourism attaractions can be done in the future according to its potential level. This potential assessment was done by looking at three main factors namely attractiveness of the object, accessibility to the object, and infrastructure owned by the tourism attraction. These three factors were then broken down into detailed sections to be scored according to their level of importance. For the tourism attraction variable, a weighting of 0.4 was given, while the accessibility variable as well as infrastructure a weighting of 0.3 was given. The calculation results of these three variables are based on field observation which was presented in table 2.  Information about tourism attraction, infrastructure condition, and accessibility of each tourism object then it is drawn into a map that is based on processing spatial data with using Geographic Information System. This figure below is a map analysing for each variable that has been spoken before.   Finally, the object of Sirih Temple has less potential to be developed (symbolized by gray symbol). It is because this site has poor infrastructure such as the lack of parking lots, food stalls, and other supporting facilities. Moreover, the location is quite far from the highway and has no directions to reach the location so it makes the potential tourists difficult to find the location of this temple. However, viewed from the tourism attraction perspective, Sirih

Temple is classified as an interesting tourism site because it has strong historical and cultural values.

CONCLUSION
Based on the results obtained from this research, it can be concluded that: 1. Weru Sub-District has 3 tourism objects which are Sirih Temple which is located in Karanganyar Village, Curug Pleret and Ki Ageng Purwoto Sidiq Tomb which are located in Jatingarang Village.
2. Based on the observation result on each tourism attraction and the calculation of the potential tourism value in terms of attraction of tourism objects, accessibilities, and infrastructure, it can be concluded that Curug Pleret is the most potential tourism attraction to be developed, then followed by Ki Ageng Purwoto Sidiq Tomb which is categorized as quite potential and Sirih Temple which is categorized as less potential.
