Abstract

This study explores the implementation of Knowledge-Based Economy (KBE) principles in medium-sized cities within emerging economies, with a specific focus on Surakarta, Indonesia. While scholarly attention has primarily concentrated on major metropolitan areas in developed nations, this research addresses the significant gap in understanding how medium-sized urban centers with rich cultural heritage can successfully transition toward knowledge-based development models. Through a qualitative methodological approach using document analysis, this study examines Surakarta's strategic initiatives to integrate cultural assets with technological innovation and human capital development. The findings reveal that Surakarta has achieved notable success in establishing a "creative-based knowledge city" model, demonstrating significant growth in creative industry participation and knowledge-intensive businesses. These results suggesting that medium-sized cities in emerging economies can leverage their distinctive cultural identities as competitive advantages in the global knowledge economy. The research contributes to both theoretical frameworks and practical policy formulation by proposing an adaptable model for sustainable urban development that balances economic modernization with cultural aspcets.

Abstract

This study aims to compare tourism development in Thailand and Indonesia by analysing budgeting policies and governance arrangements across five dimensions: the role of universities, institutional design, governance model, budgetary policy, and development strategy. This issue is of particular significance, as budgeting policies constitute a pivotal instrument in reconciling macroeconomic stability with sectoral development; nevertheless, their implications for the tourism sector remain insufficiently examined within the comparative research literature. Using a comparative case study approach, this study employs thematic analysis of policy documents and qualitative interviews to generate in-depth insights. The findings demonstrate that tourism outcomes are shaped by budgetary orientation. This study advances comparative public policy scholarship by demonstrating how fiscal design enables or constrains sectoral governance capacity. In the case of Indonesia, a strong emphasis on macro-fiscal discipline engenders fragmented tourism financing structures alongside an adaptive Pentahelix model, wherein universities function as network mobilisers within a predominantly bottom-up strategic framework. In contrast, Thailand reflects a more institutionalised and state-led configuration, characterised by stable and protected tourism budgets anchored by the Tourism Authority of Thailand (TAT), with universities integrated as innovation nodes within a top-down, investment-driven paradigm. Overall, the study underscores budgeting policy as a critical determinant in shaping tourism governance configurations and development trajectories.
