Abstract

Local heritage culture is an invaluable asset. It is not just establishing an identity that distinguishes one community apart from another. The local culture has recently been recognized as a resource that can help improve the quality of life in the community. Tourism is one of the many ways to improve the quality of life for the local population while preserving the local culture. The goal of this research is to investigate how a local community uses local tourism to preserve their culture. The study is carried out in Among Budoyo, Desa Wage. One local community member who actively manages the tourist destination serves as the key informant. The study uses a qualitative approach. Direct observation and semi-structured interviews are used to collect the data. The study concludes that by enhancing the roles of human resources in fostering tourism, the local community maintains both their local culture and tourism. There are two primary methods used by local community of Desa Wage. The first is by expanding the roles and capabilities of community-based organizations to promote tourism and community development. Community-based organizations serve as a venue or channel for the local community to come together, engage, and share ideas that are beneficial. They also help to create working groups, network, collaborate with outside organizations, and start the process of empowerment. Developing the internal strength of the community is the second method. Positive attitudes, like strong commitment, initiative, perseverance, independence, and motivation, are often fostered in the local community of Desa Wage.

Abstract

An alternate strategy to improve the standard of living in a community is innovation. A community that is creative or innovative can manufacture products or develop unique ways to do so. The abundance of local resources can serve as a source of inspiration and possible resources to help them support their local innovation. The local community may encounter obstacles even with its wealth of resources. The Community of Sontoh is one of those local communities. Sontoh is blessed with a mangrove habitat and stunning maritime landscape. Sontoh offers marine-based, natural tourism. It also becomes research site. This study intends to investigate the innovation that the Sontoh community faces. The novelty of this study is reflected in its investigation of the multidimensional challenges that constrain local communities from independently developing collective innovation. The study uses qualitative techniques. Direct participant observation is used to collect the data. The community of Sontoh, particularly the women who participate in the study, operate home-based businesses to boost their family's income. They make a variety of local foods, including tahu krispi, kerupuk, otak-otak, pentol ikan, and opak. The two primary obstacles mentioned by the female participants are financial and ICT difficulties. A number of potential supporting factors that can encourage the growth of local innovation are suggested by the study. Information and technology, education, financial inclusion, literacy, community social capital, and organisational building capability are some of these.
