Abstract

This study examines how tradition is adapted through creativity and innovation in the Sasak community’s Kecimol performance, with a focus on the Merpati Nusantara ensemble in Mataram. The research aims to identify how Kecimol, originally a traditional ensemble rooted in Cilokaq, has evolved into a performance that integrates modern instruments, cross-genre repertoires, portable stage designs, and the use of digital media. Using an ethnographic approach involving participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation, the study highlights how the creativity of the artists and the active participation of the community as both audience and co-creators drive collective innovation. This innovation successfully preserves local identity while engaging with global trends. The adaptation demonstrates cultural resilience, sustaining the vitality of tradition amid modernization, despite intergenerational value tensions and negative stigmas. From a socio-economic perspective, Kecimol functions as an alternative income source, a social interaction platform, and a form of public entertainment. This research contributes theoretically by enriching studies on creativity and cultural adaptation, while providing practical insights for cultural preservation strategies, creative economy development, and community-based tourism. Overall, Kecimol exemplifies the Sasak community’s identity and the sustainability of traditional arts within the context of globalization.

Abstract

This study examines the role of the Cultural Park in strengthening performance arts-based cultural tourism in West Nusa Tenggara (NTB) to support sustainable tourism. Although NTB possesses rich natural and cultural resources, the integration of performing arts into tourism development has not yet been optimized. Therefore, this research focuses on two main issues: (1) the extent to which the Cultural Park maximizes its potential as a driver of performance arts-based cultural tourism in NTB; and (2) its role in supporting sustainable tourism development. This study employs a descriptive qualitative method involving stages of data collection, analysis, and reporting. Data were obtained through observation, interviews, and document studies, and were analyzed inductively. The analysis applies the 6A tourism development model (Attraction, Accessibility, Amenities, Accommodation, Activities, Ancillary Services). The research also aligns with Asta Cita of the President, point 3 in the RPJMN 2025–2029, with a target achievement of Technology Readiness Level 3 (TRL 3) and SDGs indicator point 8. The findings reveal that NTB Cultural Park has strengths in the diversity of traditional and contemporary arts, the availability of performance facilities, and its function as a center for cultural interaction. However, limitations in curation, digital promotion, cultural calendars, and cross-sector integration remain challenges. Socially, the Cultural Park contributes to preserving cultural identity and empowering art communities; economically, it fosters the creative economy and job opportunities; and ecologically, it strengthens local wisdom in line with sustainability principles.
