Abstract

This study aimed to investigate and reveal the spoken myths and verbal stories conveyed by the locals and how such social phenomena have constructed the existing local wisdom at Taman Cadika Pramuka (TCP) Medan. A descriptive qualitative method with narrative semiotics was applied in this study as one of the semiotics approaches. It focused on the narrative in the form of myths and verbal stories (folklore). Therefore, the data were obtained through both fieldwork and library study. They were collected through observation, documents, and interviews about the raised question addressed to the name of Paya Badau. The applied narrative semiotic as one of the semiotic approaches has enabled the writer to find and reveal five existing myths and verbal stories of 'Paya Badau' attributed as the given name of the lake at Cadika park which has brought up some certain positive effects toward the sustainability of the ecosystem. The existence of TCP and its lake, called 'Danau Cadika' (Paya Badau) merely remains significant as a protective green open space (GOS), besides its other functions as one of the flood buffer zones, and seeding centre of rare plants and trees in Medan. Furthermore, the issue of 'Paya Badau' will turn out to be a critical 'sign' for the authorized officers in charge (government), when the water level of the lake raises or overflow after rain. The name has successfully built a harmonious bond of community awareness to protect and conserve TCP as one of the most worthy mutual assets among stakeholders (community, government, private, etc.).

Abstract

Lake Toba is one of the government's five proposed super tourism locations. Strengthening the tourist sector is a key component of a region's national development strategy. The tourist sector was chosen to be strengthened because it has the potential to boost the Indonesian economy. As for the real battle in managing Lake Toba tourism in terms of human resources, citizens' understanding of tourism is still limited, the model of service to tourists is still lacking, tourist attractions that have not been maintained on a consistent basis tend to emphasize nature and neglect cultural attractions, and insufficient infrastructure such as road access. The goal of this research is to determine the local community of Toba Regency's willingness to participate in the development of Lake Toba tourism and the ability of the local community's great service abilities to attract tourists. This study takes a qualitative-exploratory strategy, stressing characteristics of enrichment in the field as a research force through data gathering approaches such as surveys, literature reviews, finding specific cases and selecting goals, data collection, data analysis, and conclusion. The technique for developing an ideal tourist plan is based on Jacqueline M. Stavros' SOAR model, a combination of SWOT analysis and Appreciative Inquiry (AI). This approach entails all stakeholder groups in order to collect data on the strengths, opportunities, goals, and outcomes of the Lake Toba tourism planning model in the Toba district.

Abstract

The Javanese language is one of the languages used by people in Indonesia. However, one issue arises when many people speak in Javanese while only a few people can read and write in the alphabet of the Javanese, which is called Aksara Jawa. This Aksara Jawa is mainly used to write Javanese. In its development, it is also used to write several other regional languages, such as Sundanese, Madurese, Sasak, and Malay, as well as historical languages, such as Sanskrit and Kawi. The Javanese script is a derivative of the Indian Brahmi script through the Kawi script and is closely related to the Balinese script. The Javanese script was actively used in Javanese literature and daily writing from the mid-15th century to the mid-20th century before being replaced by Latin letters. Nowadays, 21st century, the Aksara Jawa is learned by students at school as a local language lesson. Some schools provide it while the rest is not. A question comes out; do the Javanese generations (students) nowadays can write and read the Aksara Jawa? The result shows that in many elementary schools until junior high school, students cannot read and write in Aksara Jawa.
