Abstract

This research seeks to examine how gastronomic tourism, particularly through Bakso, affects tourist satisfaction, intention to return, and recommendations to others in Malang City. The study employs Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS SEM) and includes a sample of 109 respondents. Data was collected via questionnaires distributed in January 2024. PLS SEM helps identify three key variables: Gastronomy Tourism Experience, Tourist Satisfaction, and Future Behavior, represented by 37 questionnaire items. Findings indicate that Bakso-based gastronomic tourism significantly enhances tourist satisfaction, their likelihood of returning, and their propensity to recommend Malang City. This underscores the strategic importance of local food culture in tourism development and suggests that local governments should prioritize enhancing the tourist experience and food tourism infrastructure. The study lays the groundwork for further exploration of Malang City's gastronomic tourism potential.

Abstract

This study explores how local political figures in Malang Regency construct Javanese cultural values through political messages on social media, analyzed using Aristotle’s Political Rhetoric framework of ethos, pathos, and logos. The issue is significant given the dynamics of Indonesian digital politics, where cultural symbols increasingly serve as persuasive strategies, especially in communities with strong cultural identities such as the Javanese. Social media has become a key arena for politicians to build legitimacy through cultural representation, though this practice risks reducing cultural meaning into political commodity. Using a qualitative approach, the research applies content analysis to Instagram posts of Aryo Seno Bagaskoro and Rendra Masdrajad Safaat. Data were obtained through online observation and documentation of visual and textual content, then analyzed through reduction, categorization, and interpretation. Findings show that values of andhap asor, rukun, gotong royong, and tepa slira are represented through rhetorical strategies: ethos (moral credibility and politeness), pathos (empathy and emotional closeness), and logos (rational and historical narratives). Yet a shift occurs from substantial ethos to performative ethos, where cultural symbols are instrumentalized to construct political imagery. This study concludes that social media functions as a space of cultural political rhetoric, negotiating tradition and modernity within digital politics.
