Abstract

This article seeks to understand the empowerment issues of persons with disabilities. Various development programs have been implemented to reduce stigma, prejudice and stereotypes that impede persons with disabilities from having greater access to education, employment or the labor markets and public services. However, research findings showed that many interventions and strategies to address disability issues focus more on individual or medical models. As a consequence, public stigma and social exclusion of persons with disabilities continue to occur, preventing them from participating in various activities in the society including in the tourism sector. The purpose of this study is to identify social reasons that lead to exclusion and lack of empowerment, as well as to establish programs at the community level to increase the engagements of persons with disabilities in tourist attractions and tourist destinations in Malang. The result of the study shows that the insufficient skills and knowledge of the community members of Desa Kalisanga (nicknamed Kampung Cempluk) in communicating and interacting with persons with disabilities cause the lack of awareness in regard to disability issues. Using macro perspective, this study exhibits community-based approach which requires participation of community members in the planning and organizing an inclusive arts and music festival in Kampung Cempluk. The community was successfully provided various accessibility facilities needed by persons with disabilities to participate, both attending and performing at the festival. This study shows that community-based approach could be employed as a model or strategy to empower persons with disabilities by providing them with equal opportunities to participate in tourist attractions or other activities in the society and wider access to tourist destinations and other public facilities.

Abstract

The need to build a safe and friendly environment has developed to respond to the increasing number of vulnerable issues which have been faced by children and women. Nevertheless, strategies to build a safe and friendly environment in rural areas are rarely discussed. This study outlined the macro perspective which considers structural and cultural change as a strategy to design a positive environment for women and children in the village. This perspective is adopted due to the fact that the places where women and children live, either in city or rural areas could become the factors causing women and children to live in a vulnerable environment. This design consists of two aspects which are the building of an institutional network and program recommendations. The implementation of an institutional network requires three principles or strategies which are participation, integration between women and children development programs, and involve various parties or community organizations including village government, professionals, scholars, as well as formal dan informal groups which are formed by rural community members, as facilitators and volunteers in the development programs. All these principles should be adopted to undertake program recommendations to meet the rights of children in health, education, legal advice, security, and peace.
