Abstract

City branding is an object contested by various cities and regencies in Indonesia. The goal was to introduce their identity of them, so strong branding could be the basis for marketing tourism from the city. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to examine the perspectives of domestic tourists about city branding that use religion as the basis for their branding. This study analyzes the perspectives of tourists who visit Gorontalo City and Manokwari Regency. Gorontalo has the branding Serambi Madinah, and Manokwari is famous with Kota Injil as its branding. This study uses a qualitative approach and descriptive analysis based on Tourism Consumption Behavior (TCB) and critical questions for developing a city brand strategy. This study was conducted in 19 days, from 1 February to 20 February 2023, by interviewing tourists who visited Gorontalo City and Manokwari Regency. Literature studies also support the discussion in this study. The results showed that Gorontalo City, which has Serambi Madinah branding, has not attracted tourists' attention to sites, mosques, and religious festivals held in Gorontalo City. Tourists prefer to travel to the coast of Tomini Bay, such as Pulo Cinta and Botubarani Whale Sharks. Meanwhile, tourists visiting Manokwari have a more perspective that Manokwari is Kota Injil, where the bible first entered Papua through Manokwari. Several factors can also influence city branding: local history, culture, natural resources, and religion. Local wisdom is also essential to support the city's branding.

Abstract

This study examines the role of digital micro, small, and medium enterprises (MSMEs) in advancing Indonesia’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), focusing on three interrelated issues: digital inclusivity, access inequality, and platform market dominance. Adopting a qualitative descriptive approach through library-based research, the study analyses secondary data from journal articles, international agency reports, official government publications, and statistical sources from 2019 to 2025. Data analysis employed thematic synthesis supported by NVivo 12 Plus for coding, theme identification, and word cloud visualisation. The findings reveal that digitalisation contributes to inclusive economic participation and women’s entrepreneurship, aligning with SDG 8 (Decent Work and Economic Growth). However, persistent infrastructure disparities, uneven broadband distribution, and limited digital literacy—particularly in rural regions—continue to constrain equitable access, impeding progress toward SDG 9 (Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure). Moreover, the dominance of a few e-commerce platforms such as Tokopedia and Shopee reinforces market dependency and unequal power relations, counteracting the objectives of SDG 10 (Reduced Inequalities). Applying the Global Political Economy, Capability Approach, and Inclusive Innovation frameworks, the study concludes that realising the SDGs through MSME digitalisation requires oversight of platform power, equitable digital infrastructure, and empowerment of entrepreneurial capabilities. Policy implications include strengthening competition regulation, expanding digital skills programmes, and institutionalising inclusive innovation strategies. Future research should explore comparative and mixed-method studies across ASEAN contexts to validate and deepen these findings.
