Desa Sukakerta, Kecamatan Cilamaya Wetan, Kabupaten Karawang merupakan desa yang terletak di daerah pesisir, dihuni oleh masyarakat yang mayoritasnya bekerja sebagai petani dan nelayan. Hanya sedikit yang memiliki pekerjaan tetap. Pada tahun 2017, Desa tersebut dikembangkan ekowisata mangrove dengan melibatkan masyarakat di sekitar kawasan mangrove, baik generasi muda maupun generasi tua. Tujuan penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis pemanfaatan waktu dari generasi muda dan generasi tua yang tinggal di sekitar ekowisata. Waktu yang digunakan dibagi menjadi dua, yaitu pada hari kerja dan hari libur. Variabel yang digunakan adalah titik, arah, dan jarak. Metode analisis menggunakan pendekatan Lund Time Geography Approach dan analisis spasial. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan berdasarkan situasi aktivitas, masyarakat pesisir dipengaruhi oleh capacity constraint. Di ekowisata mangrove, generasi muda hanya memanfaatkannya pada hari libur, sebaliknya generasi tua memanfaatkannya pada hari kerja dan hari libur. Menurut situasi geografi, masyarakat pesisir generasi muda memiliki pergerakan yang tidak terbatas dan lebih jauh, sedangkan generasi tua memiliki pergerakan yang terbatas dan hanya di sekitar tempat tinggalnya. Hal tersebut dipengaruhi oleh usia.
Sukakerta Village, Cilamaya Wetan District, Karawang Regency is a village located in a coastal area, inhabited by people, the majority of whom work as farmers and fishermen. Only a few have permanent jobs. In 2017, the village was developed for mangrove ecotourism by involving the community around the mangrove area, both the younger and older generations. The purpose of this study was to analyze the time utilization of the younger and older generations living around ecotourism. The time used is divided into two, namely on weekdays and holidays. The variables used are point, direction, and distance. The analysis method uses the Lund Time Geography Approach and spatial analysis. The results of this study indicate that based on the activity situation, coastal communities are influenced by capacity constraints. In mangrove ecotourism, the younger generation only uses it on holidays, while the older generations use it on weekdays and holidays. According to the geographic situation, the young generation of coastal communities has unlimited and further movement, while the older generation has limited movement and only around their homes. This is influenced by age.

Research regarding carbon potential and economic valuation of mangroves in Gerung District, West Lombok Regency has been conducted. This research was aimed to calculate and analyze carbon storage and absorption of mangroves in Gerung District and to determine potential plants that have the ability to store and absorb carbon. Carbon sampling was carried out on 14 observation stations. Carbon data is estimated from potential biomass on land, underground, understorey and soil organic carbon. The results of the analysis of the carbon content of the mangrove ecosystem in Gerung Subdistrict, obtained a biomass value of 401.15 tons/ha, a carbon stock of 186.05 tons/ha and carbon absorption of 682.81 tons/ha. The species that has the highest carbon storage and absorption potential is S. alba. The purposes of this research were to calculate and analyze economic value from mangrove ecosystem and to find out the largest economic value produced by mangroves. Data collection is done through interviews, observation and literature studies. Data were analyzed quantitatively to explain the economic value of mangroves and analyzed descriptively to describe socio-economic activities of the community. The economic value obtained from direct use of mangroves reaches IDR. 2,565,140,000/year, from indirect benefits with a value IDR. 33,710,361,020/year, option economic value reaching IDR. 78,120,000/year and from the existence benefits were IDR. 124,000,000/year. The total economic of mangroves in Gerung District in 2018 were IDR. 36,477,621,020/year (2,492,826 US$/year). The biggest economic value produced by mangrove ecosystems is derived from the indirect benefits of mangroves, especially carbon potential.
