Abstract

This study aims to analyse the factors causing the weakening of bamboo weaving artisan regeneration in Loyok Village, Sikur Subdistrict, East Lombok Regency, and its implications for the sustainability of the local culture-based creative economy. The study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive type. Informants were selected purposively, including senior craftsmen, young craftsmen, young non-craftsmen, BUMDes administrators, and village officials. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observation, and documentation, then analysed using the Miles and Huberman model through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing, and tested for validity using trustworthiness criteria. The results showed that the weakening of artisan regeneration was influenced by several main factors, namely: shifts in socio-cultural values that made the artisan profession no longer prestigious; low motivation among the younger generation, who were more interested in modern jobs with a fixed salary; economic barriers in the form of unstable income, rising raw material prices, limited capital, and narrow market access; and institutional support that is not yet sustainable. On the other hand, technological innovation and digital marketing are beginning to open up new opportunities for young artisans, although they are still constrained by a digital skills gap. This study emphasises the need for a comprehensive strategy that integrates economic strengthening, design innovation, digital marketing, and strengthening the role of village institutions to support the regeneration of artisans in Loyok Village.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze how the community of Loyok Village builds tourism resilience through community-based practices in the aftermath of the 2018 Lombok earthquake and the COVID-19 pandemic. The study employs a qualitative descriptive approach, with the research site located in Loyok Village, Sikur District, which is known as a bamboo-craft tourism village. Informants were selected purposively and included village government officials, BUMDes managers, Pokdarwis members, bamboo artisans, MSME actors, and community beneficiaries. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, and were then examined using thematic analysis. The findings indicate that tourism resilience in Loyok is constructed through several key strategies. First, strengthening local institutional capacity by clarifying the roles of the village government, Pokdarwis, BUMDes, and artisan groups, as well as expanding networks with external stakeholders. Second, developing a diversified BUMDes business model that functions as an economic intermediary for local residents. Third, product innovation and the digitalization of bamboo-craft marketing serve as adaptive strategies for artisans in response to declining tourist visits. Fourth, Pokdarwis plays a crucial role in ensuring the continuity of tourism activities and improving service quality. Fifth, social capital in the form of mutual cooperation and community solidarity constitutes an essential foundation for economic and tourism recovery.These findings underscore that community-based tourism resilience in Loyok Village does not rely solely on formal policies, but is also shaped by the strength of local institutions, economic creativity, and the social cohesion of the community.
