Abstract

As one of the sites that are vulnerable to damage, historical areas, especially heritage sites, need special attention in their utilization, especially for tourism. In finding a middle ground between conservation needs and tourism utilization efforts, this study presents a scientific breakthrough by combining the concept of urban heritage tourism with tourism carrying capacity. Taking a case study in the Old City Area of Jakarta and an exploratory qualitative-quantitative approach armed with a tourism carrying capacity calculation formula, this study found the fact that the actual perspective is more heavily directed towards tourism interests than conservation. This is indicated by the finding that the number of tourist visits per day exceeds the Effective Carrying Capacity (ECC). Therefore, efforts are needed to spread tourism activities to other points in the destination as in the recommended tourism activity map generated with the help of the Cadmapper software application.

Abstract

Urban heritage tourism increasingly contributes to cultural preservation and sustainable urban development, yet destinations in dense metropolitan settings often face acute pressure from rising visitation. This study evaluates the tourism carrying capacity of Glodok Chinatown, Jakarta’s oldest Chinese heritage district, by assessing its physical, socio-cultural, economic, environmental, and managerial components. Using a qualitative exploratory approach supported by field observations, regulatory review, and interviews with local residents, business actors, heritage experts, and government officials, the study provides a multidimensional analysis of capacity constraints. Results indicate considerable disparities between potential and reality. While the area’s Physical Carrying Capacity (PCC) and Real Carrying Capacity (RCC) remain structurally limited by narrow streets, mixed-use density, and constrained public spaces, the Effective Carrying Capacity (ECC) is found to be only 104 visitors per day. In contrast, actual visitation reaches 1,000–1,500 tourists on regular days, with spikes of over 5,000 visitors during major cultural festivals. This excess contributes to congestion, increased waste accumulation, deterioration of heritage structures, reduced walkability, and commercialization of cultural practices. Socio-economically, tourism benefits remain unevenly distributed, with small local MSMEs facing competition from larger commercial actors. Managerially, fragmented governance, sectoral decision-making, and the absence of an integrated heritage management entity hinder sustainable development efforts. The findings underscore the need for capacity-based planning through zoning, visitor flow redistribution, improved interpretation systems, and strengthened community participation to ensure Glodok’s cultural authenticity and long-term resilience.

Abstract

Cultural festivals are increasingly recognized as strategic vehicles for community empowerment and the enhancement of local tourism economies. The Cisarua Bisa 2025 Festival combines three main pillars—community participation, arts and culture, and Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs)—into a synergistic ecosystem. This study examines how festivals can foster sustainable collaborative models that function as instruments for social empowerment, cultural preservation, and creative economic development. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, involving 21 key informants selected through purposive sampling, with data collected over three days through participant observation, in-depth interviews, documentation analysis, and literature review. The findings reveal the emergence of the Festival-Based Community Empowerment Model (FBCEM), which emphasizes integrated community engagement, cultural heritage preservation, and MSME development. This model contributes a novel conceptual framework that is replicable in other regions. Academically, the research enriches the discourse on cultural tourism and empowerment models; practically, it offers strategic insights for stakeholders aiming to develop festivals as sustainable and collaborative platforms.
