Abstract

The enhancement of local resources through agrotourism presents significant opportunities for economic growth, social benefits, and environmental sustainability in rural communities. This study explores strategic approaches to community empowerment in the development of agrotourism villages within Kuningan Regency, West Java, an area rich in agricultural potential. A qualitative case study method was adopted, gathering data through observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The findings underscore that agrotourism village development requires an integrated approach, focusing on robust governance, active community participation, innovation, and cross-sector collaboration to efficiently manage and promote tourism destinations. The study highlights the critical role of government policy and budgetary support in establishing programs that leverage local agricultural strengths, empowering communities to participate actively in sustainable tourism. By employing a comprehensive, long-term development model, agrotourism can be effectively harnessed to yield both economic and social value for local communities, while also prioritizing environmental conservation. This research provides valuable insights into how structured community empowerment and strategic collaboration can unlock the full potential of agrotourism as a sustainable development pathway for rural regions.Peningkatan sumber daya lokal melalui agrowisata menghadirkan peluang signifikan untuk pertumbuhan ekonomi, manfaat sosial, dan keberlanjutan lingkungan di komunitas pedesaan.

Abstract

Regulations stipulate that a political party must prepare financial reports to facilitate sound financial management and accountability of the state subsidies it receives. However, its accountability remains problematic, raising a question: How do the related policies deal with the accountability of state subsidies for political parties? This study aims to evaluate issues related to accountability in the policies governing the management of state subsidies for political parties. This study is normative legal research. Within a meta-analysis framework, critical analysis of the relevant policies in the form of laws and regulations and other reliable sources of information is carried out. The study finds that the policies provide rules to ensure eligible political parties’ right to obtain state subsidies and employ audit and administrative sanctions to enhance state subsidy accountability. Nevertheless, the policies still overlook important issues related to vertical accountability of political parties and government, horizontal accountability of government, internal control mechanisms, supervision requirements, and formal and material responsibilities by relevant in-charge parties. Moreover, the running audit practices do not provide much value for improvement. This study provides policy-makers with a new perspective on relevant studies so that the government will consider the comprehensive management of state subsidies for political parties by relevant in-charge parties before elevating the value of the subsidies.
