Abstract

In the development of sustainable tourism, careful planning and comprehensive management are critical issues, particularly in relation to the potential social impacts arising from tourism activities. Tourists bring their cultures, values, and behaviors into local communities, inevitably influencing the social and economic life of the residents. To minimize these potential impacts, an effective management framework is required. One such framework is the concept of social carrying capacity, which serves not only as a measure of the optimal utilization of resources and tourism activities but also as a guideline for determining the maximum level of interaction and participation between local communities and tourists within a destination area.This study adopts a qualitative descriptive approach using a case study method focused on Serangan Village, Bali. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, direct observation, and documentation to analyze how tourism development and reclamation have affected social life and community behavior. The analysis was conducted descriptively to explore how social carrying capacity can function as a framework for controlling the social impacts of tourism. The findings are expected to contribute to the formulation of community-based tourism management strategies that promote social balance and sustainability in tourist destinations

Abstract

Sustainable tourism can create a positive relationship between tourism and the local environment through three main dimensions: physical environment, socio-cultural sustainability, and economic sustainability. The local community plays an important role in supporting sustainable tourism. Saribu Gonjong Tourism Village (SARUGO), located in West Sumatra, is known for the Minangkabau community life, traditional Rumah Gadang houses, and distinctive cultural dances. This cultural potential needs to be preserved sustainably. However, the community’s role in supporting sustainable tourism is still not optimal, so a more focused Sustainable Tourism concept is needed. The research used a descriptive qualitative method with primary and secondary data collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Saribu Gonjong Village was established in 2019 and is managed collaboratively by the local community, Pokdarwis (Tourism Awareness Group), and village leaders who actively preserve culture and develop tourism potential. The village also opens economic opportunities through homestays, crafts, and agro-tourism, although promotion and facilities need improvement. Capacity building, especially for the younger generation, is conducted through art and cultural training. With enhanced training and wider community involvement, Saribu Gonjong Tourism Village has the potential to become a leading, sustainable destination that improves the community’s welfare.
