Abstract

In Indonesia, the activities of coming to the graves of ancestors of the Prophet are prevalent. It encompasses the trifecta of economy, culture and religion. Grave of Sheikh Abdul Muhyi in Pamijahan, Tasikmalaya is an instance of where such religious activities can be transformed into profit by the community. With the context of women and tomb visiting, this research aims to identify the nexus of spirituality, culture, and economic development through this practice. The study was qualitative and descriptive in nature. The researchers were purposefully engaged to select samples of three groups: pilgrims, local business operators, and tomb caretakers. A detailed questionnaire was developed for in-depth interviews, as well as observational techniques. Thematic analysis was employed as a qualitative data analysis approach. Results indicate that there is considerable economic activity stemming from the activities of pilgrimage. More than 230 traders depend on these centuries old traditions as they prepare food, gift articles as well as offer guiding and accommodation services. Islamic trading principles bring added value to such interactions where trust and justice prevail. It contributes in terms of revenue generation, growth of the informal sector and avenues for cultural preservation. As consequence of the migration streams for economic reasons local development through remittances and increased economic activities is also achieved. The pilgrimage tradition practised at Sheikh Abdul Muhyi’s Tomb clearly illustrates the juxtaposition of spirituality and economics and therefore can serve as a good example for culture based community development.

Abstract

The growth of mobile devices and social media has greatly affected the tourism business, as well as hospitality and cross-cultural relations. This research studies the use of social media in transforming the tourism practices in Pangandaran focusing on ecotourism and river rafting in Citumang. Using the qualitative method, data were established by purposive sampling of three informants: tourism managers, tour guides and tourists. Through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and social media posting and promotional materials documentation opened broad perspectives. The research results suggest that social media such as Instagram and Facebook are effective in marketing the Pangandaran’s ecotourism products. There are tour guides such as Kang Wahyu who use the site to tell a story in cultures and interact with tourists at the same time to enhance their experience and integration of cultures. However, limitations in these technologies’ full potential include poor internet coverage and low levels of digital skills among the local tourism providers. In conclusion, the results of the study indicate that combining social media with better digital infrastructure and participation of the community could improve the social and environmental aspects of ecological tourism.

Abstract

This research aims to examine the importance of marketing communication networks in the growth of micro-enterprises and appreciate the role of social and technological integration in developing culture-oriented marketing networks. The case study method was employed with a descriptive qualitative research design. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and analysis of documents related to marketing strategies. A purposive sampling technique was adopted in sampling micro-entrepreneurs engaged in trade and tourism within the coastal region of Pangandaran Beach. The study depicts local values such as togetherness, gotong royong, and trust networks as values-based marketing communication that bridges the micro-enterprises and the local communities, families, and business partners. Social media proved otherwise in extending the marketing network through technological adaptation and brand recall. In addition, engagement with government institutions and other similar sectors, such as distributors and tourism actors, also contributes significance to the stability of the microenterprise. In summary, the inclusion of local cultural elements into marketing communicational networks creates a synergy that enhances not only the marketing strategies but also the viability of the micro-enterprises operating in the coastal region. This study helps policymakers and businesses devise culture-centered marketing strategies to enhance the growth of the local economy.

Abstract

This research aims to explore and reveal the role of video features in promoting Cimindi Tourism Village in order to increase the frequency of tourist visits and support the economic growth of the community. The method used in this research is a case study with a descriptive qualitative approach. Data were collected through content analysis of 10 videos, in-depth interviews with 17 informants, and direct observation of the economic impact for six months. The results imply that video features are able to increase the frequency of tourist visits by 68% and all visual content featuring the uniqueness of nature (Ciwayang Body Rafting), culture (Badud Art), and culinary (Nasi Liwet Jolem) are the main factors of success. Tangible economic impacts were seen in the increase in turnover of handicraft MSMEs (45%), homestay occupancy (30%), and the expansion of local product markets to the five new districts. This study proves that video features are not only effective promotional tools, but also economic catalysts based on community participation. The implications of the study recommend a hybrid model between professional production and user-generated content, as well as digital literacy training for tourist village managers. The findings offer a strategic framework for sustainable tourism development by integrating technology and local wisdom.

Abstract

Krisis lingkungan akibat perubahan iklim, polusi, deforestasi, dan eksploitasi sumber daya alam memerlukan strategi komunikasi yang efektif untuk meningkatkan kesadaran dan mendorong tindakan publik. Film dokumenter menjadi media komunikasi krisis yang mampu menyajikan informasi secara mendalam melalui narasi faktual, wawancara ahli, visual yang menggugah, serta teknik sinematik yang membangun keterlibatan emosional audiens. Penelitian ini menganalisis bagaimana film dokumenter dikemas sebagai alat komunikasi krisis serta efektivitasnya dalam membentuk kesadaran dan mendorong tindakan publik. Dengan metode deskriptif kualitatif, penelitian ini mengkaji film dokumenter bertema lingkungan melalui analisis konten, wawancara mendalam, dan observasi reaksi publik. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa film dokumenter memiliki pengaruh signifikan dalam membentuk opini publik, sesuai dengan Teori Jarum Hipodermik, di mana media dapat langsung memengaruhi audiens. Dari perspektif teori komunikasi krisis William Benoit, film dokumenter juga berperan dalam mengkritisi narasi pihak terkait serta memberikan tekanan terhadap kebijakan yang lebih berkelanjutan. Untuk meningkatkan efektivitasnya, film dokumenter perlu menyajikan solusi konkret, memanfaatkan media digital, serta berkolaborasi dengan organisasi lingkungan dan media mainstream.

Abstract

This paper investigates the adaptive tactics, expectations, and obstacles micro-entrepreneurs (UMKM) in coastal tourism zones of Indonesia encounter in adopting digital communication tools. This study intends to grasp how local and migrant business people experience digital transformation. The study takes a qualitative descriptive technique to find patterns of communication behaviour and readiness toward digitalization rather than suggesting a particular hypothesis. In-depth interviews and field observations with chosen informants representing different tourism-related micro-enterprises—including apparel stores, food vendors, and guesthouse operators—provided data. Participants were classified as local or migrant business owners. Emphasizing data reduction, data display, and conclusion drawing, Miles and Huberman's methodology was used to thematically evaluate the data. The results show notable variations in digital adaptation between local and migrant business owners. While native players depend mostly on conventional word-of-mouth and direct consumer contacts, migrant entrepreneurs are more proactive and savvy in exploiting internet channels like Agoda or Instagram. Key expectations the report also underlines are the requirement of focused training, ongoing mentoring, and equitable access to digital infrastructure and government support. Among the obstacles found are low digital literacy, psychological resistance, information access restrictions, and policy execution structural inequities. Digital communication revolution among UMKM, this study finds, is not just about technological acceptance but also about cultural adaptation, psychological preparation, and institutional support—emphasizing the need of inclusive, community-based communication approaches.

Abstract

Though micro-MSMEs are being more acknowledged as important engines of local economic growth, especially in tourism-oriented areas, there is still little knowledge of how community communication networks operate as tools of social empowerment, especially in settings characterized by internal migration, digital inequality, and resource asymmetry. This paper looks at how such networks enable indigenous and migrant micro-MSME players in Pangandaran, a fast-growing coastal tourism area in Indonesia. The study uses a qualitative case study method to grasp the complexity of community dynamics set against the background of unequal access to resources and possibilities among commercial actors. Data were gathered using in-depth interviews with 20 key informants and 4 community representatives, supplemented by participant observation and community document analysis. The research found, via thematic analysis, that communication networks are also platforms for empowerment by means of training, resource access, and social solidarity in addition to channels for corporate information exchange and promotion. Especially during the COVID-19 crisis, when tactics like product diversification and internet marketing became vital, these networks have supported corporate adaptation. Still, there are ongoing issues, including low digital literacy, unequal information access, and intra-community conflicts hindering group development. The results highlight the need to enhance community capacities by means of inclusive communication policies, digital literacy projects, and conflict resolution tools. Local governments, community-based organizations, and legislators trying to create strong and inclusive economic ecosystems in tourism-dependent areas will find these ideas useful.
