Development of a Ferry Port in Bajoe Village to Support Tourism on Bokori Island, Southeast Sulawesi, based on the Linkage System

The Bajoe Village Ferry Port serves as a facility to facilitate traveler access to Bokori Island. The port today plays a significant role in tourism, despite the fact that inadequate accessibility (roads without public street lighting) and subpar port conditions (no designated passenger lanes accessible and dirt roads) have an impact on the industry. The purpose of this study was to identify a suitable development plan for the Ferry Port enhancement in Bajoe Village. The analyses used were road network analysis, linkage system analysis, hydro-oceanographic analysis, potential and problem analysis, and SWOT analysis. The results of the road network analysis showed that the access road to the port had a width that did not meet road traffic standards and demands. System linkage analysis showed that the access road to the port was integrated with tourist attractions, culinary and souvenir centers, and accommodation facilities. The potential and problem analysis described the potential and regional problems from the spatial, policy, social, economic, technical, and environmental aspects of the Bajoe Village Ferry Port. The results of the research were a port development strategy in the form of expanding road network access to the port and providing street lighting, floating docks, and facilities at the port so that accessibility to Bokori Island tourism became easier and port facilities increased to provide comfort to port visitors.
