| dc.description.abstract | The turtle conservation center at Goa Cemara Beach in Sanden, Bantul is one of the efforts of the local community
to protect and conserve turtles. Because the turtle population is increasingly threatened, mainly due to human activities,
it is necessary to increase awareness of the importance of protecting turtles and its environment. With the development of
ecotourism on the coast of Bantul to protect the coastal area, the construction of a new conservation center by increasing
conservation facilities as a medium to provide recreational education is needed. Thus, this project will accommodates
activities related to turtles from hatchery to captivity which includes conservation, education and tourism facilities. The
conservation facilities that provided include hatchery, captive ponds, and management offices. Meanwhile the education
facilities are a conservation center with gathering space for active education and gallery/interactive visual media for
passive education. Another supporting facilities for tourism will be added, such as toilet, musholla, food court and souvenir
corner.
