Three-Dimensional Visualization of the Gurimbang Riverside Culinary Tourism Area Based on Participatory Planning

Visualisasi Tiga Dimensi Wisata Kuliner Tepian Gurimbang Berbasis Perencanaan Partisipatif

Abstract

The Universitas Mulawarman community service program developed a three-dimensional visualization to support the planning of the Gurimbang Riverfront Culinary Tourism Area in Berau Regency, Indonesia. This community-engagement study aims to analyze local socio-economic potential, describe the participatory planning process, evaluate the functional role of proposed design elements, and formulate a realistic implementation pathway. The team compiled demographic and livelihood data, conducted a site walk with residents using GPS and Google Earth, discussed stall and parking needs, prepared a spatial concept, built the model in SketchUp, produced color renderings, and developed a preliminary cost estimate. The program document records 2,173 residents, 849 households, approximately 1,635 working-age residents, and 657 people in socio-economic groups that may support the culinary value chain. The model includes a floating dock, micro and small enterprise kiosks, gazebos, signage, pedestrian paths, landscaping, and public toilets. Direct physical works are estimated at IDR 1,977,745,000, while the total preliminary budget reaches IDR 2,414,826,645 under the assumptions stated in the program document. The analysis indicates that three-dimensional visualization functions as a pre-implementation communication tool linking community aspirations, spatial requirements, local enterprise potential, and financing options. Physical implementation still requires detailed engineering design, land status verification, riverfront safety assessment, business governance, environmental review, and investment feasibility analysis.
