Abstract

The Indonesian government positions tourism villages as a strategic instrument for advancing sustainability, yet the determinants of their success remain underexplored. This study investigates how destination competitiveness, community participation, and local empowerment shape the development of Bilebante Village, Lombok. Previous studies have addressed isolated issues such as participation or empowerment, but none have identified the core reasons for the village’s overall success. This gap is critical because identifying what truly makes a village succeed is essential for advancing tourism village development. A qualitative case study was conducted using semi-structured interviews with six purposively selected Pokdarwis members and participatory observation across the village’s zones. Data were analyzed with Miles and Huberman’s interactive model through thematic coding on competitiveness, participation, and empowerment. The findings show that Bilebante’s success emerges from the interaction of three interconnected factors. Its green tourism attractions provide a competitive advantage that is reinforced by strong community participation. Through this participation, residents gain skills and confidence, creating empowerment that drives further innovation and, in turn, strengthens competitiveness. Theoretically, this study contributes to rural tourism literature by showing how competitiveness, participation, and empowerment operate in a mutually reinforcing cycle rather than in isolation. Practically, it highlights that government and external support should integrate these three dimensions, and that initiatives such as community learning hubs and inter-village exchange programs can help replicate Bilebante’s model in other contexts.

Abstract

Globalization has introduced foreign cuisines, such as Korean and European food, which often attract more interest from young consumers compared to the variety of Indonesian traditional foods. This phenomenon has led to a decline in the popularity of traditional cuisine among the younger generation. This Community Service activity was conducted at SMK Atisa Dipamkara, located in Binong, Curug District, Tangerang Regency, as part of efforts to strengthen the role of educational institutions in preserving local culture. The primary target of this activity was 10th-grade (class X) students, who are in the early phase ofcharacter, attitude, and value orientation formation as vocational students. The service method was divided into three main stages: preparation, implementation, and evaluation of activities. To measure the success level of this service activity, the service team administered a Post-Test to 35 students. Pre-Tests and Post-Tests are essential instruments for evaluating the effectiveness of a learning intervention, training, or educational program concerning the traditional mixology of traditional cuisine as a cultural heritage. Many students initially viewed Nusantara (Indonesian Archipelago) cuisine merely as everyday food or drink without associating it with identity values, philosophy, or national character. Conversely, the Post-Test results indicated a significant increase in understanding. Students began to explain the role of traditional food and beverages in shaping cultural identity, as well as the importance of innovation to keep Nusantara cuisine relevant amidst globalizations. The benefits of this activity were directly felt by the target community, particularly the 10th-grade vocational high school students, as evidenced by the increased understanding demonstrated by the Pre-Test and Post-Test results. Furthermore, this activity supports the implementation ofthe Pancasila Student Profile Strengthening Project and Work Culture (P5BK) by instilling the values of diversity, nationalism, and appreciation for local wisdom.
