Nusa-Tenggara. It is not an easy thing for the life of the people there.

As mentioned above, recent study also found several key points that undermine coastal tourism performance: a
number of buildings along the coast, waste that damage coastal environments. Because it is necessary
conservation of coral reefs, mangroves, seaweed beds, and turtles. In addition, fisheries and fisheries-tourism
development activities have not increased significantly in the regions thus reducing employment opportunities.
Based on data from government data of Gili-Trawangan's Hamlet, there are currently around 150 licensed edifices
along the coast. According to local residents, the owner of the building has no legal basis to use the beach. They
use the place because they have big capital. Local people generally say that the use of coastal arrangements has
actually existed for a long time. But, no one applied it. Samba Villa is one of the tourism facilities that use the
beach for its restaurant. On the north side of the beach they have a restaurant right on the beach. Other buildings
lined the surrounding. Manager Samba Villa and Restaurant, said construction on the beach is actually not
supposed to be done. They also received warnings. But, as do hundreds of other businesses along the coast, they
still use this area (Saputri, 2017).
Currently the waste generation on the island reaches 13 tons every day - about 2.3 kg per person. The Gili-Eco
Trust Foundation's board outlines the results of the Waste4Change (2016) study. Approximately 92% of waste
comes from tourism activities. This waste problem needs special attention. Together with the National
Aquaculture Conservation Center of Kupang, WWF-Indonesia introduced the best practices of Gili-Trawangan
and Signing Blue governance, a platform for the realization of responsible marine tourism practices and
management (Syukur et al., 2017).
The island is still overshadowed by serious problems related to waste management and lighting installation of
public facilities. The volume of garbage on the island reaches 8-10 tons every day. In that area, in that area there is
no location that can be used as a temporary dump so that the pile of garbage must be taken one by one, then
planted or brought to the mainland of Lombok. Through the construction of this waste treatment facility, of course
the garbage problem that has occurred in this island can be overcome so that it can make this area as a
comfortable tourist destination (Praditya, 2016). Village chief said that his community is restless with the
accumulation of garbage and wastewater which is allegedly dumped into the sea waters by entrepreneurs because
