Desain jalur interpretasi buah lokal koleksi Kebun Raya Purwodadi sebagai media belajar biologi

Introduction

Desain jalur interpretasi buah lokal koleksi kebun raya purwodadi sebagai media belajar biologi. Jelajahi desain jalur interpretasi buah lokal Kebun Raya Purwodadi sebagai media belajar biologi. Tingkatkan pengenalan koleksi unik & langka serta edukasi lingkungan yang atraktif.

Abstract

Kebun Raya Purwodadi memiliki koleksi buah lokal Indonesia yang cukup lengkap, unik, dan langka. Informasi ini menarik namun belum banyak dikenal oleh masyarakat luas sehingga diperlukan upaya diseminasi. Salah satunya dengan cara mengembangkan desain pelayanan pendidikan lingkungan yang lebih atraktif dan edukatif melalui jalur interpretasi buah lokal Indonesia sebagai media belajar biologi. Tujuan dari penelitian ini adalah untuk mengembangkan desain pelayanan pendidikan lingkungan melalui jalur interpretasi buah lokal yang mengarah pada pengenalan koleksi Kebun Raya Purwodadi sehingga lebih dikenal oleh masyarakat luas. Selain itu, output penelitian ini diharapkan dapat menjadi pelengkap pembelajaran biologi sehingga lebih menarik dan mudah dipahami oleh peserta didik. Pengumpulan data dilakukan dengan menggunakan metode tracking untuk mendapatkan titik koordinat buah lokal, sedangkan dokumentasi dan studi literatur dilakukan untuk lebih memperkaya pembahasan. Hasil penelitian dituangkan dalam pemetaan jalur interpretasi yang mencakup berbagai titik lokasi koleksi buah lokal Kebun Raya Purwodadi.

Review

This paper addresses a highly relevant and practical topic concerning the dissemination of botanical knowledge through engaging educational platforms. The initiative to design an interpretation trail for the local fruit collection at Kebun Raya Purwodadi is commendable, especially given the garden's rich, unique, and rare plant diversity that remains largely unknown to the wider public. The stated objectives—to enhance public awareness of the collections and to serve as an attractive, easily understandable biology learning medium—are well-defined and align perfectly with the broader goals of botanical gardens as centers for conservation, research, and education. The focus on local fruits also adds a valuable cultural and ecological dimension to the proposed educational intervention. The methodology employed, involving tracking for precise fruit collection coordinates, documentation, and a literature review, appears sound for the initial design phase. This approach ensures that the interpretation trail is geographically accurate and theoretically robust, laying a solid foundation for its development. The outcome, a detailed mapping of interpretation trails encompassing various locations of local fruit collections, is a tangible and expected result of this design-oriented research. While the abstract provides a clear overview of *what* was done to produce the map, further detail on the specific content and interpretive elements envisioned for the trail would enrich the understanding of its educational potential. Overall, this research represents a valuable contribution to environmental education and botanical garden outreach. The proposed interpretation trail has strong potential to transform passive visitation into an active and engaging learning experience, making biology concepts more accessible and fostering greater appreciation for Indonesia's local fruit biodiversity. To further strengthen the impact, future work could consider pilot testing the trail design with target audiences, evaluating its effectiveness in achieving the stated learning outcomes, and detailing the narrative and didactic tools intended for the interpretive points. This would provide empirical evidence of its success as both a dissemination tool and a biology learning medium.
