Abstract
Cave tourism is a form of ecotourism that offers a unique experience in exploring the beauty of underground geological formations. Gua Seplawan, located in the Karst Jonggrangan area, Purworejo, has been managed as a cave exploration tourism destination. Tourism activities inside the cave may influence microclimatic conditions, including temperature, humidity, and carbon dioxide (CO₂) concentration. Continuous monitoring and sustainable management are therefore required to preserve the cave environment while ensuring a safe and comfortable experience for visitors. This study, entitled “Analysis of Daily Microclimate Variations in the Seplawan Tourist Cave, Donorejo Village, Kaligesing District, Purworejo Regency”, aims to: (1) analyze the daily microclimatic variations inside Seplawan Cave; (2) examine the influence of tourism activities on microclimatic changes; and (3) assess the cave’s tourism carrying capacity. The research employed a field survey method, involving direct measurements of microclimate parameters, namely temperature, humidity, and CO₂ concentration. Sampling was conducted using purposive sampling techniques, and data analysis was performed using a qualitative–quantitative approach. The results indicate that temporally there was an increase in temperature of 0.2–0.3°C and an increase in CO₂ concentration of approximately ±750 ppm, accompanied by a decrease in humidity of around 5%. Spatially, the cave exhibits a distinct microclimatic gradient, with temperature decreasing, humidity increasing, and CO₂ concentration declining from the cave entrance toward the innermost sections. These patterns are influenced by limited air circulation and the thermal stabilizing role of limestone formations. Spatial CO₂ concentrations ranged from 2,193–2,697 ppm, which may potentially cause symptoms such as headaches, fatigue, shortness of breath, nasal congestion, impaired concentration, loss of focus, increased heart rate, and nausea. Temporally, CO₂ concentrations ranged between 800–1,400 ppm, generally resulting in mild discomfort such as drowsiness or perceptions of poor air quality. Based on the tourism carrying capacity analysis, the recommended maximum number of visitors is 960 persons per day, with an average dwelling time of 17.8 minutes per observation point, in order to maintain microclimatic stability and ensure the conservation of the cave environment. This study provides a scientific basis for the sustainable management of Seplawan Cave tourism.
