Abstract

Pangandaran Beach, designated as a Regional Tourism Strategic Area under the Pangandaran Regency Tourism Master Plan 2018–2025, encompasses several key zones, including West and East Beaches, the Nature Reserve Tourism Park, Pananjung Seafood Tourism Centre, and Pananjung Tourist Village. This study investigates the resilience level of the tourism industry within the Pangandaran Beach area by applying a framework of seven tourism resilience elements: 1) Risk Understanding, 2) Business Operations, 3) Disaster Preparedness, 4) Mitigation Planning, 5) Response and Recovery, 6) Infrastructure and Environment, and 7) Governance and Institutions. Seventy tourism industry stakeholders were surveyed using stratified random sampling with a 90% confidence level and a 10% margin of error. The analysis employed descriptive quantitative methods and Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA). Findings reveal that three key resilience attributes fall into the low-performance quadrant: Disaster Mitigation (DM1), Evacuation Planning (DM2), and Building Structure (E1). Despite efforts by the local government and the Regional Disaster Management Agency (BPBD) to promote disaster risk reduction, DM1 and DM2 remain under-implemented due to industry concerns about potentially deterring tourists. Furthermore, E1 remains underdeveloped due to high renovation costs. Although the overall resilience level is moderate, enhancing stakeholder awareness and investment in disaster preparedness is crucial to strengthening the region's capacity to withstand tsunami-related risks.

Abstract

Peneleh Village, the oldest settlement in Surabaya, is a heritage area rich in historical and architectural value, offering considerable potential as a cultural tourism destination in East Java. Within the scope of sustainable tourism development, accessibility is a crucial element for ensuring inclusivity, comfort, and equal opportunities for all visitors. This study investigates the current state of accessibility in Surabaya's Old Town through universal design, prioritizing usability, safety, and clarity in public spaces without discrimination. A qualitative descriptive method was adopted, incorporating field observations, in-depth interviews with local stakeholders and tourists, and a review of heritage planning documents and regulatory frameworks. Findings indicate that many infrastructure elements in Peneleh Village do not comply with universal design standards. Out of 35 assessed indicators, only 22.86% were fully implemented, 11.43% were partially implemented, and 65.71% were not implemented—highlighting a significant gap in accessibility provision. Key issues include uneven pedestrian pathways, inadequate visual signage, and a lack of inclusive public facilities. The study presents strategic recommendations to enhance accessibility and reposition Peneleh as a user-centered and inclusive heritage destination. Improving accessibility through universal design enriches visitor experience and contributes to more sustainable and equitable cultural tourism.

Abstract

This study develops and tests a social-media–driven model explaining how destination social-media promotion shapes destination image and attractiveness, enriches tourist experience quality, and drives in revisit intention to tourism destination in Bandung Regency. A quantitative, cross-sectional survey of recent visitors was analyzed using PLS-SEM to estimate the measurement and structural relations. Results show that social-media promotion significantly improves destination image and attractiveness; both subsequently strengthen experience quality, which emerges as the strongest predictor of revisit intention. Reliability and validity diagnostics meet recommended thresholds, and the model explains a substantial share of variance in revisit intention. As a managerial output, the paper proposes a digital tourism marketing model that operationalizes the verified pathway by integrating S-O-R with the AIDA journey—translating attention and interest captured online into desire and action, then aligning on-site delivery with expectations formed on social media to convert engagement into repeat visitation.

Abstract

Local food consumption in tourism represents a cognitive and affective process through which visitors interpret cultural meaning and evaluate quality. This study develops and tests an integrative model linking cultural value, knowledge appreciation, and product quality to branding, perceived economic value, and consumption satisfaction. Data from 319 domestic and international tourists who experienced Indonesian gastronomy were analysed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modelling (PLS-SEM). Results show that cultural value and local identity strongly enhance knowledge and cultural appreciation, which in turn increase perceived product quality and support for local communities. These cognitive–ethical factors exert the greatest influence on emotional satisfaction, while branding alone shows no significant direct effect. Perceived quality and community alignment, rather than aesthetic branding, drive tourists' emotional engagement and satisfaction. Theoretically, this study introduces the concept of cognitive–ethical authenticity to explain how knowledge and moral resonance jointly produce satisfaction in gastronomic tourism. Managerially, the findings highlight that effective destination strategies should prioritise interpretive learning, transparent sourcing, and community-based experience design over symbolic branding. Overall, the research clarifies the cultural–cognitive pathway that underpins satisfaction in gastronomic experiences and advances a framework for authenticity-centred tourism development.

Abstract

Coastal destinations often emphasize natural attractions but overlook the role of supporting amenities in shaping tourist comfort and satisfaction. Existing research on Indonesian beach tourism remains largely descriptive, rarely integrating these dimensions within a conceptual framework. This study investigates how the development of attractions and amenities contributes to tourist comfort and satisfaction at Pasir Padi Beach, Pangkalpinang. Using a qualitative approach through semi-structured interviews, field observations, and document analysis, the data were thematically analyzed and triangulated across stakeholder perspectives. Findings reveal that while the beach offers distinctive natural and event-based attractions, limited and poorly maintained amenities—such as sanitation, lighting, and spatial organization—reduce perceived comfort and satisfaction. The study develops an analytical model linking attractions–amenities–comfort–satisfaction adapted from the 4A and SERVQUAL frameworks, highlighting the interdependence between physical infrastructure and experiential quality. Theoretically, the research contributes to destination development discourse by contextualizing service quality concepts in coastal settings; practically, it provides guidance for local governments in integrating amenity improvement within sustainable tourism planning.

Abstract

Heritage studies often struggle to move beyond descriptive cataloguing toward interpretive frameworks that reveal how artifacts encode cultural meaning. This study applies semantic field theory—originally developed for linguistics—to the collections of the Candi Jiwa Museum in West Java, Indonesia. Through qualitative analysis of artifacts and contextual materials, nine semantic domains were identified, including funerary ritual, architectural symbolism, environmental adaptation, domestic–sacred convergence, and symbolic economy. These findings demonstrate that artifacts function not as inert remnants but as interconnected semiotic systems that sustain continuity, cosmology, and identity values. The study advances two key contributions. Theoretically, it extends semantic field analysis into material culture, showing how objects can be decoded as networks of meaning without reducing their contextual richness. Practically, it repositions museums as pedagogical mediators that engage youth through interpretive dialogue rather than passive display. The results challenge conventional heritage discourse that privileges the authenticity of objects, arguing instead for preservation of semiotic systems as the true foundation of cultural sustainability.

Abstract

Air pollution is a global problem and significantly impacts every country. Therefore, this study aims to assess the future state of air pollution in Izmir. One of the key innovations of our study is demonstrating how PM (particulate matter) levels specifically influence tourists' destination choices. This study utilizes quantitative data analysis and preprocessing using the Pandas and NumPy libraries. The research methodology is based on data collected from the National Air Quality Monitoring Network. We evaluated the number of ships arriving at Izmir's port from 2008 to 2024 and created maps to visualize changes, including those during the COVID-19 period. Based on our findings, it can be concluded that annual CO (carbon monoxide) and NOX (nitrogen oxide) levels in Izmir are high and are significantly higher in industrial areas than in rural areas. The scenario analysis conducted in this research indicates that if air pollution continues to increase by 15%, air travel will be more severely affected than sea travel. Implementing effective waste management strategies in port cities is believed to benefit both the environment and public health. Practical implications: Key actions to combat air pollution include encouraging local travel habits, increasing the appeal of green transportation options, and raising environmental awareness. Green travel supports a more sustainable transportation system by reducing residents' environmental impact. In the future, informing travelers about ecological damage could lead to changes in travel behavior.
