<![CDATA[This study aims to explain how the people of Belangian Village construct the meaning of a tourism village within their everyday communication. Grounded in a social constructivist paradigm, it employs a qualitative phenomenological approach with villagers directly and indirectly involved in tourism, selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected via semi structured in depth interviews, participant observation during extended residence in the village, and documentation of local archives, community records, and online materials. Data analysis followed phenomenological procedures, including epoche, horizonalization, thematic clustering, and the synthesis of textural and structural descriptions. The findings show that the meaning of a tourism village is produced through language, symbols, interactions, and negotiations with visitors, and through processes of externalization, objectivation, and internalization, so that the tourism village is understood as a lived space of spiritual, social, and cultural value rather than a purely economic destination.
