Abstract

Much of the destination branding literature continues to frame branding as a largely technical marketing exercise, paying limited attention to how branding operates as a contested social process shaped by unequal power relations. This study intervenes in that debate by exploring how local tourism actors in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia—officially designated as a “super-priority destination” since 2019—respond to the state-led Enchanting Labuan Bajo branding through everyday counter-branding practices. Based on nine months of critical ethnographic fieldwork, the study draws on in-depth interviews with local accommodation owners, local boat owners, and local tour guides, complemented by focus group discussions with the Wae Kelambu Women’s Community and sustained participant observation. Analytical engagement with moral economy, epistemic justice, and Scott’s concept of hidden transcripts reveals that destination branding is experienced locally not merely as promotion, but as a form of symbolic imposition that marginalizes local identities and constrains meaningful participation. Importantly, local responses were far from homogeneous. Tour guides articulated epistemic resistance by asserting their authority as cultural knowledge holders; boat owners enacted material–ecological resistance to defend long-standing access to the sea; while accommodation providers, particularly women-led guesthouses, mobilized moral–symbolic resistance through care-based hospitality practices. The article’s main theoretical contribution lies in reframing counter-branding not as evidence of branding failure, but as an alternative mode of participation that emerges when formal participatory mechanisms are inaccessible or ineffective. From this perspective, counter-branding signals deeper participatory deficits rather than marketing shortcomings, pointing to the need for destination governance approaches that prioritize inclusive and dialogical engagement over compliance-driven branding implementation.

Abstract

Penelitian ini menelusuri potensi dan kendala pengembangan souvenir berbasis komunitas di Situs Warisan Dunia Sangiran. Penelitian menggunakan pendekatan studi kasus kualitatif melalui focus group discussion, observasi partisipatif, serta wawancara dengan perajin lokal. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Sangiran memiliki potensi yang kuat untuk pengembangan souvenir berbasis warisan budaya, yang didukung oleh nilai paleoantropologis, ketersediaan material lokal, serta tradisi keterampilan masyarakat. Potensi tersebut tercermin dalam pengembangan souvenir berbahan batuan, tekstil etnografis, kerajinan bambu, dan produk pangan tradisional. Namun demikian, pengembangan souvenir masih menghadapi berbagai kendala, antara lain keterbatasan modal, rendahnya kapasitas teknis dan desain, pembatasan regulasi terhadap pengambilan material, lemahnya akses pasar, serta minimnya kolaborasi antara masyarakat dan institusi pengelola warisan. Penelitian ini menyimpulkan bahwa meskipun praktik awal produksi kreatif berbasis warisan telah ada, diperlukan penguatan kapasitas yang terkoordinasi serta dukungan institusional yang lebih kuat agar nilai ekonomi dan budaya yang terkandung dapat dimanfaatkan secara berkelanjutan.

Abstract

The rapid expansion of digital technologies has intensified debates on whether technological change is primarily driven by technological determinism or shaped through social and cultural processes. While smartphones have become central to digital transformation, existing studies often assume linear and uniform patterns of adoption, overlooking the role of local socio-cultural contexts. This study addresses this gap by examining how smartphones are adopted within the Samin community of Sukolilo, Central Java—an indigenous community characterized by strong moral values and non-formal learning practices. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, data were collected through observation, interviews, and focus group discussions. The findings show that smartphone adoption is selective, socially regulated, and negotiated through the interaction between technological affordances, socio-cultural values, and everyday practices. The study proposes the Negotiated Smartphone Adoption Model, contributing to ICT4D and technology-society discourse.
