Abstract

Social capital is an often-unrecognized staple of community participation in a tourism site’s development, although social capital comprises elements essential for successful community-based participation. This paper discusses how the host community’s participation in the tourism development of Cibalay Megalithic Site was driven by local social capital. Cibalay Megalithic Site is one of the last reminders of ancient beliefs and is an iconic landmark, located within the Bogor Regency of West Java, Indonesia. It is also within the protected area of Gunung Halimun Salak National Park. Cibalay Megalithic Site is a product of a socio-cultural environment, deriving from the relationship between man and nature. Thus, its tourism development should interpret this history and promulgate environmental education as one of the key elements of sustainable tourism. The local Village of Tapos I was established as a tourism village; within this village, the hamlet of Sinar Wangi was declared a conservation hamlet. Both designations were achieved due to local initiatives of the host community in developing local tourism, with Cibalay Megalithic Site as the iconic tourism focus of the area. The high level of trust towards local figures and visitors, the conservation norm of “leuweung hejo, masyarakat ngejo” (if the forest is green, then the people will be prosperous) underlying everyday local life that indicates the importance of nurturing nature, good inter-personal relations between village members, and good social networking with outsiders: all combined to create the conditions and motivation that facilitated collective action in developing local heritage tourism.

Abstract

Tourist villages have increasingly become a focus of academic and practical interest. Despite numerous studies, comprehensive analyses to uncover key contexts and topics remain limited. Indonesia, which leads in publications on tourist villages, offers a unique opportunity to explore strategies for enhancing its competitiveness. This study aims to review, synthesize, and advance the competitiveness of Indonesian tourist villages by examining theoretical frameworks, sustainability challenges, and strategic approaches. The combination of the approaches describes the novelty of this study. A systematic literature review analyzed 21 Scopus-indexed articles from 2023–2024, selected based on open access and journal publication criteria. The review highlights that most research focuses on Java-based villages, utilizing theories like social capital, sustainable tourism, and community-based tourism. Results show that the key success factors for tourist villages include collaboration and cultural preservation, while challenges span economic, social, cultural, and environmental dimensions. The study emphasizes the potential of analytical tools like VRIO and PESTLE to help identify competitive advantages and address vulnerabilities. These frameworks provide actionable insights for improving resilience and ensuring the sustainable appeal of tourist villages in Indonesia. By addressing these critical aspects, the study offers valuable guidance for enhancing the long-term viability and success of tourist villages as a cornerstone of Indonesia’s tourism industry.
