Abstract:
The research focused on the tourist activities in the Budduda district and trends of climatic change. In this study, the dependent variable for tourism activities was food supply, travel services, and lodging, whereas the independent variable for climatic change patterns was drought, floods, and landslides.The study's cross-sectional approach enabled the researcher to quickly collect samples from the population for analysis. The respondents from Budduda district were the main subject of the study. The participants were selected through stratified random sampling from all of the cluster's layers by the researcher, who used various departments as clusters. We used both primary and secondary data collection methodologies. The data collection and analysis were carried out using quantitative research methods. The results of the study's correlation analysis typically demonstrated a significant positive association between the signs of climatic change (drought, floods, and landslides) and the variables of tourism activity (food supply, travel services and housing). Additionally, regression analyses found that the variables of climate variability patterns-drought, floods, and landslides-were better predictors of the variation in tourism activities (dependent variable). The most important predictor of changes in tourism activity was flooding, followed by landslides and drought.
