Abstract

This study explores visitor preferences and market potential for the development of a water-based glamping destination at Paisupok Lake, Central Sulawesi, an ecologically unique site characterized by exceptionally clear waters and preserved submerged logs. The research is grounded in the growing global trend toward sustainable, immersive, and comfort-oriented travel experiences, with glamping emerging as a hybrid form of eco-luxury tourism. The primary objective is to assess travelers’ motivations, preferred activities, and facility expectations to inform strategic planning for ecotourism development in the region. A quantitative-descriptive approach was applied through an online survey distributed to 200 purposively sampled respondents aged 20–45 years with prior interest in nature tourism or glamping. Data were analyzed using descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation to examine links between demographics and travel preferences. Findings indicate that key motivations include relaxation, healing, and engagement with ecotourism, with favored activities being canoeing, snorkeling, and lakeside glamping. Respondents emphasized the importance of comfort, privacy, hygiene, and scenic views, while also valuing opportunities for conservation education. Market segmentation highlights a dominant group of young professionals (24–35 years old) with middle-to-upper incomes, positioning the destination within the eco-luxury segment. The study concludes that Paisupok Lake holds strong potential for sustainable glamping tourism by integrating comfort, environmental stewardship, and educational value. Strategic implications underscore the need for tailored short tour packages, storytelling-driven digital promotion, and community-based conservation initiatives to ensure long-term competitiveness and sustainability.

Abstract

In Indonesia, the safeguarding of living cultural heritage has been predominantly shaped by state-driven initiatives; however, the effectiveness of these top-down programs often falls short due to institutional fragmentation and limited grassroots participation. Majapahit Tourist Village in Mojokerto, East Java, established through the Majapahit Cultural House program which illustrates these persistent challenges, as numerous heritage houses have either deteriorated or been repurposed, exposing a disconnection between policy formulation and local implementation. This study investigates how adaptive governance can enhance the management of community-based cultural heritage tourism by analyzing the socio-political dynamics, local responses, and adaptive mechanisms at play within Majapahit Village. Utilizing a qualitative case study methodology, the research draws on in-depth interviews, direct observations, and policy document analysis. Through thematic analysis, the study identifies varying forms of community adaptation, spanning compliance, negotiation, and innovation that demonstrate local resilience in preserving cultural identity under socio-economic constraints. Results show that adaptive governance materializes through informal leadership, cultural entrepreneurship, and hybrid collaborations between community actors and external agencies. Nonetheless, the absence of coherent legal frameworks and insufficient financial support remain key obstacles to long-term sustainability. The study concludes that fostering adaptive governance necessitates co-management arrangements, participatory policy design, and the integration of cultural, economic, and legal considerations.

Abstract

Background: Water-based ecotourism is increasingly promoted as a pathway for sustainable local development, particularly in environmentally sensitive areas such as karst ecosystems. However, tourism expansion often prioritizes economic growth over ecological responsibility and moral accountability toward non-human nature. This study examines Paisupok Mirror Lake in the Banggai Islands as a case to explore how environmental justice in water-based ecotourism can be reframed through an eco-ethical perspective integrating social, ecological, and economic dimensions. Methods: The research employs a qualitative interpretive approach. It synthesizes secondary data from environmental assessments, policy documents, and previous field reports, complemented by primary insights from prior academic studies on Paisupok’s socio-environmental conditions. The analysis is theoretically grounded in deep ecology and Levinasian ethics of responsibility to reinterpret environmental justice within tourism governance. Findings: The study identifies three interconnected dimensions of environmental justice: distributive justice (equitable access to natural resources), participatory justice (meaningful involvement of local communities in tourism planning), and recognition justice (moral acknowledgment of ecological interdependence). The findings indicate that current tourism practices risk marginalizing ecological integrity unless ethical responsibility is embedded in governance frameworks. Conclusion: Sustainable water-based ecotourism requires a shift from purely economic orientation toward an eco-ethical governance model. Embedding moral responsibility within tourism planning is essential to safeguard the long-term resilience of fragile karst ecosystems and local community well-being. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study offers a novel conceptual synthesis by integrating deep ecology and environmental justice theory to formulate an Eco-Justice Tourism Framework. It advances ecotourism discourse by repositioning tourism not merely as an economic strategy but as an ethical practice grounded in ecological responsibility and social justice, particularly within developing and ecologically fragile contexts.
