Abstract

Local community involvement plays a critical role in the success of tourism development, particularly in community-based tourism (CBT). This study investigates the internal barriers to local community involvement in the Area Model Conservation and Education (AMCE), a CBT destination in Oro-Oro Ombo Village, Batu City, Indonesia. Using purposive and snowball sampling techniques, data were collected from informants, including tourism destination managers, village government employees, Village Consultative Body (VCB) members, and local community leaders. Data collection methods comprised in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, which were subsequently analyzed through content analysis. The findings reveal five categories of tourism development in AMCE, including economic, social, environmental, geographical, and institutional. The dominant inhibitors come from the institutional category, such as top-down leadership style, less transparent governance, internal conflicts between managers, and elite capture in AMCE. These barriers hinder effective community participation and sustainable tourism development in the region. The study emphasizes the need for enhanced organizational governance, better financial resource allocation, and improved coordination and collaboration with government agencies, universities, and other stakeholders. Additionally, capacity-building initiatives, including education and training programs for tourism destination managers, are essential to overcoming these barriers. The results provide critical insights for policymakers and practitioners to foster inclusive and sustainable tourism development in CBT destinations.

Abstract

This study critically examines the foundational readiness for digital government transformation by comparing the regulatory and institutional capacities of two major cities in East Kalimantan, Indonesia: Kota Balikpapan and Kota Samarinda. Using a qualitative comparative case study, data were gathered from in-depth document analysis, surveys of eight local government officials, and semi-structured interviews with eight key informants from the Communication and Information Offices. The findings reveal a stark divergence in institutional execution despite similar regulatory frameworks. Kota Balikpapan’s strong technical regulations are hindered by pervasive sectoral ego (reported by all respondents), creating implementation friction. In contrast, Kota Samarinda exhibits a collaborative institutional culture with no inter-agency resistance, driven by its integrative “Smart City Plus” vision and a centralized service platform. The study concludes that mature digital government depends less on regulatory completeness and more on deliberate governance engineering, intentional design of collaborative structures, leadership as integrators, and trust-based operational cultures. This research contributes by asserting that in decentralized contexts, the sociopolitical dynamics of local bureaucracy are the ultimate determinants of success, outweighing technology alone.
