Abstract

As Indonesia promotes community-based tourism in its eastern frontier, the readiness of visual communication infrastructure in remote areas becomes a critical success factor. This study aims to empirically measure the influence of Information Clarity and Use of English on the Ease of Navigation for foreign tourists visiting tourism villages in Fakfak Regency, West Papua. The research locus focuses on four specific villages representing Geographical Clusters of varying development statuses: Kampung Ugar (Advanced), Maas (Advanced), Fior (Developing), and Patimburak (Pioneer). The study employs a quantitative approach with an explanatory survey design. Primary data were collected via paper-based questionnaires during the peak tourist season to a sample of 200 foreign tourists, selected through a combination of cluster and incidental sampling. Data analysis was performed using Multiple Linear Regression in SPSS. The results demonstrate that Information Clarity and the Use of English both significantly affect the Ease of Navigation, with English usage having a dominant influence. The study concludes that visual and linguistic infrastructure are foundational to spatial orientation, mitigating spatial anxiety in complex topographies. Practically, these findings imply an urgent need for local governments to standardize bilingual, high-visibility signage to match official tourism development classifications.

Abstract

This study analyzes the influence of Spiritual Motivation and Search for Meaning in Life on Tourist Inner Satisfaction within the framework of Slow Tourism in East Java. Responding to the crisis of modern spirituality, slow tourism emerges as an antithesis to mass tourism, offering a theological contemplation space. This study applies a Mixed Method with a Sequential Explanatory strategy. Quantitative data were collected from 200 respondents at spiritual sites in East Java using a 1-7 Likert scale questionnaire, followed by qualitative deepening through interviews. Regression analysis and data triangulation confirmed that Spiritual Motivation and Search for Meaning in Life have a positive and significant effect on Inner Satisfaction. These findings validate the theological perspective that tourism is not merely physical mobility, but an existential pilgrimage towards transcendence that presents the highest inner satisfaction (Ananda). The implications recommend integrating sacred values in destination management to facilitate the soul recovery of tourists suffering from alienation due to modernity.

Abstract

Gedung Sate, located in Bandung, West Java, is an architectural icon that reflects a blend of colonial and local Indonesian cultures. As one of the historic buildings, Gedung Sate holds significant cultural value and has become a major tourist attraction that represents the historical and cultural identity of the nation. This study aims to explore the cultural and architectural significance of Gedung Sate as an important heritage site within the context of tourism and cultural preservation. The research method used is a descriptive qualitative approach, analyzing the design elements of Gedung Sate and its connection to the history and socio-cultural influences during its construction. The findings show that Gedung Sate functions not only as a government building but also as a cultural symbol that represents Indonesia's ethnic, religious, and historical diversity. The novelty of this research lies in a deeper understanding of Gedung Sate's role in cultural heritage tourism, as well as its contribution to preserving and promoting local values to the wider public. This study also opens opportunities for further research on the preservation of historic buildings within the context of modern tourism.
