POPAKUNI BEACH, MAPANE
Mapane Village,- For Poso Pesisir Community, Popakuni beach in Mapane Village may be familiar. The location is easy to reach with beautiful natural panorama to make visitors feel at home for long. On the edge of Mapane's Bay, we can enjoy the roar of the waves chasing while enjoying grilled fish katombo. Just so you know, in addition to being a tourist destination this beach is also a traditional fishing berth.
That's the general picture of the Popakuni Beach, lately began ogled visitors from the City of Poso and surrounding areas. On the last day of Lebaran holiday two weeks ago, this beach is crowded with visitors. Unfortunately, the free tourist destinations that seem unfinished, trash along the beach milling, making the scene disturbed. In fact, if only the management can be polished in such a way, it is not impossible Popakuni Beach to be an alternative to the Imbo Beach in Gebangrejo village, North Poso City.
Syarifudin Odjobolo, a public figure in Mapane, acknowledged that the management of the historic beach has not been maximal yet while some facilities in it are quite good. "It seems that it needs to be discussed carefully then formulated the solution because it seems that existing facilities are also not maintained anymore", I am Syarifudin who is also a member of Parliament Poso. Because of that, he said, there needs to be synchronization between community groups conscious tourism with other elements of society.
Regarding the overflow of rubbish brought by the current of the ocean waves all the time, he did not dismiss during this disturbing scenery but by no means without a solution. It is only necessary to change the way of thinking of the community with an economic approach. "I imagine the pile of garbage can be used as organic fertilizer, so in addition to making clean beaches, can also make money, so the economic value is there, cleanliness aspect is also fulfilled", explained Udin Odjobolo, in a casual conversation with Kaili Post in Prapatan Café Poso.
Could it be a solution to generate a multi-positive effect? The next question is who can facilitate and initiate the preparation before the implementation of the program? Village observer Irawan Antawirya agrees with the idea of Udin Odjobolo. According to him, the Village Community Empowerment Board can actually glance at the idea as a target for the implementation of creative economic development program in the future.
Besides intended to improve the skills of the community, can also contribute rill to polish the promising tourism potential. "I think it can happen, the Village Community Empowerment Board (BPMD) can allocate budget for it, even though Mapane is a district. So people should get skills on how to manage waste into organic fertilizer. After that, they are coordinated intensely by management in ", said Irawan.
Now Popakuni beach is located in Kitaran Kasiguncu Airport line, the management is still amateur. Yet in addition to enchanting can be a middle-class economic field down, the beach also has historical value. Just so you know, long before Indonesia has freedom, this beach has been first famous in the country across. Because, on the beach that is easy to reach by vehicles and pedestrians that, Andi Baso Ali, Sayyid Idrus Bin Salim Aldjufri or better known as the Old Master for the first time anchored in Tana Poso, before they spread the wings of da'wah. The same thing was also exhibited by Albert Christian Kruyt, after anchored on the coast of Popakuni-Mapane, the evangelist who set foot the first time in 1892, was even able to stay in Mapane for days, before doing missionary mission to the mountains.
Therefore, a number of social matters suggested to Poso District Government, so that the future can glance at the historic beach, as one of the potential to encourage community empowerment. "Yes, it is possible to increase local revenues is not yet possible, but at least the existing community can be empowered, besides being an additional income farm, can also take care of the coastal areas," said Yoppy Harry, Director of Panorama Alam Lestari Foundation (YPAL).
