Abstract

This study aims to analyze the influence of rural livelihoods and regional economic potential on sustainable rural development through community empowerment and local economic development, as well as to examine the moderating role of resource dependency. The study was conducted in Berau Regency using a quantitative approach. Data were collected from village heads as key informants because they possess strategic knowledge regarding village development conditions, local economic potential, and community empowerment programs. The analysis method employed was Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling using the SEM-PLS approach to test relationships among variables. The results indicate that rural livelihoods and regional economic potential have a positive and significant effect on community empowerment. Furthermore, community empowerment positively influences local economic development, while local economic development significantly contributes to sustainable rural development. The findings also reveal that resource dependency weakens the relationship between local economic development and sustainable rural development, indicating that excessive dependence on external resources may reduce community autonomy and sustainability capacity. This study contributes theoretically by integrating Resource-Based View Theory and Resource Dependence Theory in explaining sustainable rural development. Practically, the study provides strategic recommendations for local governments to strengthen community capacity, optimize local resources, and reduce dependency on external actors in rural development processes.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine visitor satisfaction in the marine tourism service industry, particularly at Pulau Merah Beach, Banyuwangi, Indonesia. As one of the flagship programs of the local government, Pulau Merah Beach promotes ecotourism as a strategic sector that receives special attention and continuous development to enhance local economic growth. In addition, the destination aims to attract tourists by offering the unique experience of enjoying its pristine natural coastal environment, which represents a distinctive local advantage not found in many other regions of Indonesia. The validity test results indicated that all questionnaire items had item-total correlation coefficients greater than 0.30 and were statistically significant at the 0.05 level, confirming that the instrument was valid for measuring the constructs of service quality and tourist loyalty. Reliability testing using Cronbach's Alpha produced coefficients of 0.876 for the service quality variable and 0.842 for the tourist loyalty variable. These values demonstrate excellent internal consistency, indicating that the research instrument is highly reliable and that the collected data are suitable for further analysis. Instrument validation is essential to ensure that the findings accurately reflect the actual conditions in the field rather than measurement errors. Furthermore, Pearson correlation analysis was conducted to examine the relationship between service quality and tourist loyalty. The results revealed a correlation coefficient of r = 0.621 with a significance level of p = 0.000, indicating a strong, positive, and statistically significant relationship between the two variables. These findings suggest that higher perceived service quality is associated with greater tourist loyalty toward the destination.
