Abstract

It is undeniable that the writhing of tourism in East Sumba is the impact of electronic and digital media coverage of the determination of Nihiwatu beach as one of the most beautiful beaches in the world. As a newly developed tourist area this phenomenon is a momentum for the people's economic revival that must be immediately and accurately addressed by the Regional Government. This study aims to analyze the development of community-based sustainable tourism in Walakiri beach tourism objects located in Watumbaka Village, Pandawai sub District with aspects of the research of the role of the Regional Government and the economic impacts that occur at the Community level. The data analysis technique used is qualitative descriptive analysis and SWOT (strenghts, weaknesess, opportunity, and threat). The data used are secondary and primary data obtained by observation and interviews. Until now, Local Governments have not fully been able to implement sustainable tourism development programs due to the status of land ownership of some communities including commensurate beaches which hamper the tourism development spatial planning process. Therefore, the Regional Government and the Community need to design the concept of Sustainable Tourism Development which can accommodate the interests of all parties. The implementation of the Community Based Tourism (CBT) approach model can be an option for the sustainable tourism development approach that will be implemented.

Abstract

The dynamics of tourism development that is so rapid has caused disruption to the existence of the community life order in the Prailiu traditional village tourist attraction in East Sumba Regency. On the one hand, this has a positive impact on economic growth on a macro scale. On the other hand, it has the risk of threatening the sustainability of the micro economy and culture. Therefore, the purpose of this study is to analyze the extent of the readiness and needs of the community to enter the world of tourism, especially ikat weaving craftsmen. In addition, this study is also part of the education process related to the importance of implementing community-based tourism. The research method uses a qualitative descriptive approach based on secondary and primary data obtained through observation, documentation and in-depth interviews. The analysis technique uses the SWOT quadrant matrix analysis approach. The results of the study found the reality that ikat weaving craftsmen experienced serious pressure on business sustainability. In addition, threats to the preservation of culture and local wisdom need special attention to avoid the death of the local community's economy. The implications of this study state that the application of the concept of community-based tourism should be a strategy implemented by the Regional Government to increase local economic empowerment and at the same time maintain the existence of the Raja Prailiu village culture in the vortex of new normal changes that require strong adaptability to survive. Keywords: community-based tourism, sustainable development, ikat weaving craftsmen, Raja Prailiu village, new normality.

Abstract

In the current era of information technology and digitalization, the transformation of structural changes in the economy seems to be running so fast that it exceeds the readiness factor of the community itself. As a result, the impact of development only results in achieving macroeconomic targets. At the same time, micro-scale economic solutions often experience setbacks, as experienced by most rural communities in East Sumba Regency, characterized as farmers and Sumba ikat weavers with relatively low family income and education levels. Therefore, it is important to strengthen the institutional role of BUM Desa, especially the human resources of administrators, as the driving force of economic development in rural areas. This study aims to analyze how the relationship between interpersonal skills affects organizational performance by applying good corporate governance principles. The research method uses quantitative descriptive analysis techniques sourced from secondary and primary data with a Likert scale approach. The results of the analysis of 144 respondents in 30 active BUM Desa based on SEM analysis showed that interpersonal skills factors have a positive and significant effect on implementing good corporate governance and performance. In addition, the relationship between implementing good corporate governance and performance has a positive and significant effect. This research recommends the need for government efforts to improve the work motivation of administrators at the beginning of their careers, such as 1. providing a reward system that is commensurate with employment regulations and 2. increasing cooperation and partnerships in the development of the micro, small, and medium business sector. On the other hand, the implications of this study state that BUM Desa institutions with good human capital are the main actors in developing smart villages as an answer to the challenges and threats of structural economic change.

Abstract

Toba Caldera UNESCO Global Geopark (TCUGG) has not only geological phenomena of international geological significance value but also has outstanding universal value by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO). The establishment of TCUGG as a national priority and the Lake Toba Authority Agency is a serious commitment from the government to develop this region. Although it is now a super-priority tourism destination, over the last six decades, the water level of Lake Toba has decreased significantly by 2.4 cm per year from 1957 to 2016. The environmental quality index shows a decline from year to year, and environmental conditions of Lake Toba are already very severe due to various factors. The government and local communities are still running independently for the conservation agenda. This empirical research uses a mixed method of sequential explanation. The main objective of the research is to analyze the determinants of local people's choices to participate in conservation activities in TCUGG. From the research results, the significant factors that determine the local communities' participation in conservation activities are water availability, incentives, suitability of seeds, trust level for the initiator, and the success rate of previous conservation. Society does not need promises or rhetoric, especially for those who have participated before and experienced low success rates. Application of reward and punishment as an incentive for the community to participate in conservation activities and to further encourage their motivation. The main key is to serve the needs of the community in conservation practices.

Abstract

Poverty reduction strategies should refer to who and why poverty occurs to make sustainable development programs effective for the welfare of society. The research aims to describe the problem conditions of the farmer households in Mutunggeding Village, Umalulu District, East Sumba Regency, with an overview of natural assets and human and physical resources. The research method used descriptive qualitative based on secondary and primary data from observations, documentation, and in-depth interviews with 102 randomly selected farmers to answer 41 key questions. The study results found that most farmers were young farmers with paddy fields and gardens, had low education and had supporting skills and good health. However, these land assets have yet to function optimally to meet household economic needs due to a scarcity of subsidized fertilizers, minimal hand tractors, and uneven distribution of irrigation water. This condition will be even more severe if the farmer must bear the burden of customs and culture, so you must go into debt and pawn your paddy fields. On the other hand, the strength of the community's social assets is a strong capital to survive against poverty. Therefore, the Government needs to strengthen the synergy of farmer groups, agricultural BP3K, and BUMDesa in overcoming the fundamental problems experienced by farmers and also needs to strengthen the institutional capacity of BUMDesa as a foundation for improving the people's economy.

Abstract

Since 2017, the existence of 140 BUM Desa in East Sumba Regency has not shown good performance as pillars of the people's economy. This is reflected in the still high poverty rate and weak production sectors which can stimulate village economic growth. The aim of the research is to analyze how much influence interpersonal skills and current skills have on organizational performance through good corporate governance. The research method uses quantitative descriptive analysis techniques based on secondary and primary data obtained through questionnaires with a Likert scale approach. The results of the analysis of 144 respondents in 30 active BUM Desa using SEM analysis and smart pls 4 show that hypothesis H1 is accepted, namely that interpersonal skills have a positive and significant effect on the implementation of good corporate governance with a t-value of 6.678 and a p-value of 0.000. H2 is accepted, namely that current skills have a positive and significant effect on the implementation of good corporate governance with a t-value of 4.823 and a p-value of 0.000. H3 is accepted, namely the implementation of good corporate governance has a positive and significant effect on performance with a t-value of 3.986 and a p-value of 0.000. H4 is accepted, namely interpersonal skills have a positive and significant effect on performance with a t-value of 3.665 and a p-value of 0.000. H5 is rejected because it has a t-value of 0.345 which is smaller than 1.96 and a p-value of 0.730 with a significance of 5%, namely that current skills have no effect on performance. The results of this study recommend the need for concrete efforts to improve the interpersonal abilities and skills of current administrators. Apart from that, it is necessary to better implement the principles of transparency and accountability to improve the performance of BUM Desa by prioritizing the economic independence of local communities.
