Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of local residents’ perceptions of economic, sociocultural, and environmental impacts on their support for sustainable tourism development in Lake Toba, one of Indonesia’s super-priority destinations. A quantitative approach was employed, with data collected through questionnaires distributed to local communities around the Toba Caldera. The data were analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) with SmartPLS. The findings reveal that all three factors—economic, sociocultural, and environmental impacts, significantly affect residents’ support, with sociocultural impact emerging as the most dominant factor. These results confirm the relevance of Social Exchange Theory, indicating that community support increases when perceived economic, social, and environmental benefits outweigh potential costs. The study provides policy implications suggesting that sustainable tourism development should adopt a holistic approach that balances economic opportunities, environmental preservation, and the strengthening of local cultural identity.

Abstract

At UD Tasrif in Perlabian, South Labuhanbatu, we wanted to determine how factors such as price, product quality, service, and location influence customer purchase intention. This study employed an associative research design and quantitative methodology. One hundred respondents were selected using purposive sampling from a population of consumers who had shopped at UD Tasrif. Primary data were obtained through a survey using a Likert scale for measurement. Various data analysis tools were available, including multiple linear regression analysis, t-tests, F-tests, coefficient of determination, validity and reliability tests, and classical assumption tests. Location, price, product quality, and service were found to have a positive and statistically significant correlation with consumer purchase intention. Simultaneously, elements such as location, service, product quality, and price had a positive and strong impact on customer purchase intention. The coefficient of determination results indicated that the independent variables explained 64.7% of the variance in consumer purchase intention.

Abstract

The main objective of this study is to analyse the influence of authenticity, brand image, and human capital on the competitiveness of cultural SMEs, with adaptive capacity as a moderating variable. A quantitative approach model was employed, utilizing 200 samples of cultural SMEs in North Sumatra, selected through a purposive sampling method. The data obtained were analyzed using the SEM-PLS method, which includes both the outer model and the inner model. According to the data analysis, the results obtained confirmed that authenticity, brand image, and adaptive capacity have a positive and significant impact on the competitiveness of cultural SMEs. The results of other studies have found that human capital does not have a significant effect on the competitiveness of cultural SMEs. Then, for moderation analysis, it was found that adaptive capacity only strengthens the relationship between brand image and cultural SMEs' competitiveness but does not moderate the relationship between authenticity and human capital. These findings suggest that to enhance the brand image and authenticity of cultural products, MSMES must possess adaptive capabilities that enable them to respond to market changes and maintain the relevance of their products.

Abstract

This research aims to analyze the factors influencing tourists' revisit intention to nature-based tourism destinations in Labuhanbatu Regency, which has great potential for ecotourism development but faces challenges in fostering tourist loyalty. Using a quantitative approach with the Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) method, this study examines the influence of tourist satisfaction, perceived destination sustainability, and destination image on revisit intention. The results show that all three variables have a positive and significant effect on revisit intention, with destination image as the strongest predictor, followed by tourist satisfaction, and perceived destination sustainability. The findings indicate that to increase revisit intention, destination managers need to focus on three main aspects: improving the quality of the tourism experience to create satisfaction, building and strengthening destination image through effective branding strategies and marketing communication, and implementing and communicating tangible sustainable tourism practices. This research provides theoretical contributions by integrating various theoretical perspectives (expectancy-disconfirmation theory, image formation theory, and theory of planned behavior) in the context of Indonesian ecotourism, and provides practical implications for Labuhanbatu tourism stakeholders in designing sustainable and competitive nature-based tourism.
