2.5 Marine Tourism
Potential environmental services located in small islands such as tourism and marine transportation is a potential that has the prospect of a very large and
can support the increased income of local communities and local government. Characteristics that exist on small islands such as the diversity and uniqueness is
the main attraction for tourism sector. Tourism is a form of natural resource uses that rely on nature for human satisfaction.
The resources and environment in small island to maintain its sustainability, it can be applied to the concept of ecotourism. Ecotourism was first introduced in
1990 by the organization of The Ecotourism Society, by way conserving the environment and maintain the welfare of local communities Lingberg
Hawkins, 1993 in Yulianda 2007. Ecotourism that environment oriented that bridge the interests of natural
resources protection and tourism industry can be developed in coastal areas by develop a marine ecotourism concept. Marine ecotourism is a tourism concept that
exploiting the characteristics of coastal and marine resources including human resources that can be integrated into an integrated component in steady tour.
2.6 Geographical Information System for Coastal Areas
Geographic Information System GIS as spatial-based digital information systems has evolved into a decision support system. GIS technology has been
used by the Regency government to review regional approaches including coastal areas. GIS development technology is designed to easier use, so that this
technology has reached the Regency in Indonesia. Geographic Information System can be applied to the preparation of spatially based models, including the
preparation of Regency coastal management model. Geographic Information System GIS is a spatial-based information system
and is a tool that connects attributes among the database and digital maps Mennecke 2000. In further developments, GIS serves as a decision support
system that includes integrating spatial data to solve the environmental problems. Based on some of the definitions above, GIS can be defined more completed as a
computer system that serves as a database and have the analytical skills to produce any information that is spatial and can be used as decision support.
The application of GIS technology can sharpen the operational capability of the government agency that responsible for decision making in coastal
management Rongxing 2001 in Dartoyo 2004. The ability of GIS technology in coastal management includes handling the temporal spatial data, developing the
databases for coastal areas and providing tools for analysis so as to increasing the efficiency and reducing costs.

3 RESEARCH METHOD
3.1
Site and Time of Research
This research was conducted on Pasi Island during April-May 2010. The site locations are determined based on the representation of the environmental
conditions. There are 10 ten coral reefs station in each site research, exactly the North, West and South side of the island. Whereas there are 7 seven station of
water quality on the Northern side of Pasi Island Figure 2. The Eastern side of Pasi Island was not to be observed due to the condition which is located within the
narrow strait and the traditional cruise line.

3.2 Research Framework
The research examines the preparation of multipurpose zoning in the area of marine conservation Pasi Island of Selayar Regency. The stages of this research
are as follows: a. Conducting an inventory of required data primary and secondary data;
b. Analyzing data and preliminary information about the condition of research sites and then design the core zone of MCA Pasi Island;
c. Collecting data and verification of field conditions; d. Offering design of the core zone MCA to stakeholders communities,
fishermen, local government-related; e. Collecting perception and activities that can be done in MCA;
f. Perform analysis and compilation of data, then overlaying to obtain a model multipurpose of MCA Pasi Island;
g. Making of MCA map, including the boundaries and multipurpose zoning of MCA.
3.3 Research Plan
3.3.1 Types of Data and Instruments
The Type of data required in this study consisted of 2 two types, namely primary and secondary data.
a. Primary data is biophysical and socio-cultural conditions of the research sites. Biophysical data are percentage of coral cover and density of coral reef fish
targetsindicators fish and economic importance fish. Social data includes the characteristic of fishermen and the perception of multipurpose zoning of MCA;
b. Secondary data, obtained from the literature review results and other information from local governments are considered to provide useful
information in support of this research Instruments used for processing up to the preparation of this thesis are as
follows: 1. The hardware consists of a set of portable computers notebook;
2. The software consists of Ms Excel, Ms Word and Arc View 3.3; 3. GPS Global Positioning System, a measurement to know the position and
coordinates of latitude and longitude on the surface of the earth;
