Abstract

This study aims to explore the challenges that have long hindered the progress of traditional weaving tourism in Central Lombok Regency and unravel the role of innovation as a breakthrough and solution. The study's focus centered on the importance of innovation as a transformative factor for traditional weaving tourism within the framework of smart tourism in Lombok Tengah Regency. It is known that the distinctive traditional weaving of Lombok has a long history and is an integral part of local life and culture, passed down through generations. However, realistically, traditional weaving must contend with challenges such as the low prices of woven fabric products, the lack of interest among the younger generation to learn weaving, and the limited capacity of weavers to respond to local, domestic, and even global market demands. This study employs a qualitative-exploratory approach, with the research taking place in the villages of Rembitan and Sukarara in Lombok Tengah Regency. The study finds that the challenges faced by traditional weaving can only be overcome through innovation. Innovation has the ability to overcome various obstacles by developing products and creating new designs that align with tourists' interests, utilizing digital technology to market and sell traditional woven products, imparting new skills and techniques to weavers, and promoting traditional weaving as a cultural heritage through digital platforms. Innovation has successfully transformed the traditional weaving tourism industry, even though this transformation is still partial. The dodeca-helix approach within the Tourism Hub can synergize stakeholders to create innovation for transforming the industry despite challenges that must be overcome for this transformation to materialize. In the effort to change the traditional weaving tourism industry through innovation, it is recommended that the Government, private sector, and local community collaborate to address challenges and create innovations to guide the development of traditional weaving in the future.

Abstract

The Gorontalo Province region has the potential for significant resource wealth. However, the Gorontalo Provincial Government still faces problems and challenges when trying to improve the welfare of its people. One is the limited data/information that is accurate, up-to-date, and integrated. This data/information is important in planning and making appropriate decisions. Another problem is that the community's role in modern development based on economic intelligence in Gorontalo Province has not been optimal. This means that the public and even bureaucrats are still unfamiliar with "Economic Intelligence." As a result, economic intelligence has not been fully used in planning, implementing programs/activities, evaluating and monitoring, or government decision-making processes. This research aims to analyze the problems and challenges in modern development based on economic intelligence in Gorontalo Province. This research uses a qualitative-descriptive approach. This study found that the main problems in modern development based on economic intelligence in Gorontalo Province are: 1) The lack of integration of economic data/information from various government and private agencies; 2) Lack of human resources (HR) who are reliable and have competence as managers and/or analysts of scientific data; and 3) Lack of technological support in managing economic data/information. The results of data analysis also show that the role of society in modern development based on economic intelligence is still very low. A lack of public understanding of the importance of economic intelligence causes this. Therefore, it is recommended that the Gorontalo Provincial Government make: 1) efforts to integrate economic data/information from various government and private agencies; 2) increase human resource capacity in managing and analyzing scientific data; 3) provide technological support in managing economic data/information; and 4) increase public understanding of the importance of economic intelligence.

Abstract

The development of the Indonesian Capital City (IKN) in East Kalimantan Province was an important turning point in Indonesia's development model. Gorontalo Province as one of its close neighbors has great potential to contribute to developing IKN. Cohesion between Gorontalo Province and IKN is a key factor in achieving its socio-economic development goals. However, Gorontalo Province is still faced with problems in economic development, public services, and MSMEs, including slow local economic development, inadequate infrastructure, low community competitiveness, high levels of poverty, and socio-economic problems. This study aims to analyze the problems and potential of the Gorontalo Provincial Government in its contribution and cohesion to the socio-economic development of IKN. Through a well-being methodology (WM) approach that combines qualitative and quantitative approaches, three main dimensions are emphasized, namely perception, participation and community acceptability of competitive strategies to provide a holistic and participatory understanding of welfare aspects. The study found that the people of Gorontalo have a positive view of IKN, with the hope that the Gorontalo Provincial Government can strengthen its contribution through improving the quality of human resources, infrastructure and economic competitiveness to support the socio-economic development of IKN. Interestingly, the majority of respondents were generation Z. This shows that most of Gorontalo's young generation were involved in this research. In essence, the Gorontalo Provincial Government faces challenges in its contribution and cohesion to the socio-economic development of IKN, with low levels of public participation and a lack of public understanding of the benefits of development. Therefore, intensive efforts are needed in socialization, education, and public involvement to increase participation and strengthen the IKN development process. The Gorontalo Provincial Government is advised to design an integrated competitive strategy, focusing on increasing public perception through socialization, building trust, fostering public participation, and increasing the acceptability of IKN development.

Abstract

This study examines the urgency of integrating economic intelligence into regional governance as a single entity within the domestic governance system. The main problem is the suboptimal function of economic intelligence within the Directorate General of Politics and Public Administration of the Ministry of Home Affairs of the Republic Indonesia’s structure and its operationalization by the Regional Government’s Kesbangpol Agency, which has implications for the performance of economic, social, and cultural resilience. This study aims to develop an adaptive economic intelligence integration model, analyze the impacts of this suboptimal function, and formulate strategies for strengthening institutional capacity. Using a qualitative-exploratory approach, data were collected through documentation studies, in-depth interviews with policy actors, and field observations, then analyzed using thematic analysis techniques. This study found obstacles to the transformation of economic intelligence, requiring systemic integration. The gap in human resource capacity also influences the process of technology adaptation and digitalization, and the need for regulations, including their synchronization and harmonization. In the context of strengthening institutional capacity, it is necessary to develop human resources with analytical competence, modernize digital infrastructure, and strengthen cross-institutional networks. Effective implementation of economic intelligence contributes significantly to evidence-based decision-making, regional economic resilience, and the institutional credibility of the Government and Regional Governments. The novelty of this study lies in the adaptive integration model of the Indonesian context, where multi-level government coordination mechanisms are more precise when accompanied by the implementation of competitive strategies in strengthening integrated institutional capacity from the Central-Regional Government. The study concludes that the successful implementation of economic intelligence is highly dependent on vertical-horizontal integration within the government structure. Therefore, it is recommended to formalize the Central-Regional economic intelligence function through the Kesbangpol Agency, develop an integrated information system, develop a sustainable human resource development program, institutionalize the Central-Regional Economic Intelligence Coordination Forum, and implement a performance-based monitoring system.

Abstract

This study investigates how digital marketing shapes the income of Micro, Small, and Medium Enterprises (MSMEs) engaged in songket weaving in Ungga and Sukarara Villages in Central Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara Province, Indonesia. Songket weaving is a culturally embedded craft, but its market prospects increasingly depend on visibility and engagement in digital channels. Using a quantitative design, data were collected from 100 songket weaver MSMEs through structured questionnaires and analyzed using partial least squares-structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM). Digital marketing is conceptualized through five dimensions, accessibility, interactivity, entertainment, trust, and informativeness, while MSME income is measured by monthly revenue and profit. The measurement model demonstrated satisfactory convergent and discriminant validity, as well as high reliability across all indicators. The structural model shows that digital marketing has a strong and statistically significant positive effect on MSME income (β = 0.747; p < 0.001), explaining 55.8% of the variance (R² = 0.558) with high predictive relevance (Q² = 0.671). These findings confirm that more intensive and higher-quality use of digital channels is associated with higher income for the songket weavers. The study concludes that targeted interventions, such as digital marketing training, content creation support, and facilitation of social media and marketplace usage, are critical to enhancing the competitiveness, resilience, and livelihood outcomes of traditional craft-based MSMEs in peripheral tourism regions like Central Lombok. This study contributes to the MSME and digital transformation literature by providing destination-specific evidence from a craft cluster in an emerging economy context and offering an empirically grounded basis for designing local government and development agency programs for the digital empowerment of artisans.
