Abstract

East Manggarai Regency has beaches with extensive mangrove forests, namely in Borong Sub-district, Rana Loba Village, Cepi Watu beach. In accordance with the RTRW of East Manggarai Regency, Cepi Watu beach is designated as a natural tourism area. The mangrove forest is utilized as a tourist area that develops the economy of the surrounding community. This area has potential biota such as monitor lizards, shellfish, shrimp, fish and birds, but has not been optimized. Therefore, it is necessary to design a mangrove tourism area with an ecological architecture approach.

The use of ecological architecture concepts in the design of mangrove tourism areas on Cepi Watu beach to maintain harmony between humans and the natural environment, reduce pollution, utilize renewable energy and prioritize the use of local materials. The ecological concept will be displayed on the form, environmental arrangement and the use of environmentally friendly materials.

The use of ecological architecture concepts applied to facilities in mangrove tourism areas include placing buildings according to the potential and direction of the sun's circulation, applying biotanks for plumbing systems in floating buildings, using solar panels for artificial lighting, and using wood and bamboo materials as environmentally friendly local materials.
