Abstract

Digital transformation has expanded access to information across generations while simultaneously creating significant literacy gaps. This study explores the meanings, strategies, causal factors, and expectations regarding information literacy in Indonesia's digital society. Using a qualitative exploratory design, data were collected from 25 purposively selected informants representing Generation Z, Millennials, Generation X, and Baby Boomers in Bone Regency through in-depth interviews and thematic analysis. The findings reveal that younger generations (Gen Z and Millennials) are generally more active and critical in seeking, verifying, and comparing digital information, whereas older generations (Gen X and Baby Boomers) rely more on traditional sources and close social networks. Motivational barriers, cognitive limitations, and socio-cultural influences emerged as the main drivers of this literacy gap. Despite these differences, all generations expressed aspirations for strengthening inclusive literacy through training, intergenerational collaboration, and community-based discussion forums. By integrating the ACRL Information Literacy Framework, Generational Theory, and the Socio-Technical Gap Model, this study provides a comprehensive theoretical lens to explain variations in literacy practices and challenges across generations. The results contribute to theory by contextualizing multigenerational digital literacy within semi-urban Indonesian society, and to practice by offering actionable recommendations for literacy training programs, intergenerational mentoring, and policy interventions that foster inclusive and sustainable information ecosystems. These insights underscore the urgency of adaptive, participatory, and culturally responsive strategies to bridge the gap and build societal resilience in the face of accelerating digital information flows

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the development strategies of inclusive ecotourism and its role in promoting social transformation and improving community welfare in Bone Regency, South Sulawesi. A qualitative case study design was applied, involving 20 informants comprising tourism entrepreneurs, village officials, community leaders, youth, and NGO representatives. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews (45–90 minutes each), participatory observation at tourist sites, and analysis of 12 policy and program documents. The data were analyzed thematically using Miles and Huberman’s framework, with triangulation of sources and member checking to ensure validity. The results indicate that inclusive ecotourism strategies rely on optimizing local natural and cultural potential (e.g., waterfalls, forests, traditional cuisine), governance through Pokdarwis and village cooperatives, and multi-stakeholder collaboration. These practices have led to income diversification—household earnings from tourism increased by an estimated 20–35%—strengthened cultural identity, and improved social cohesion measured through greater youth and women’s participation. The main challenges remain limited infrastructure, low tourism literacy, and internal conflicts due to unclear benefit-sharing mechanisms. On the other hand, opportunities include growing youth involvement (over 40% of active actors in new initiatives), government support programs, and integration with the regional tourism sector. The findings imply that inclusive, community-based ecotourism can serve as a sustainable development model when supported by policy interventions in infrastructure, capacity building, and equitable governance. This study contributes theoretically by linking ecotourism to social transformation and practically by offering policy recommendations for rural tourism development.
