Abstract

This research-based innovation paper proposes SIM AKURAT as a governance reform initiative for legal metrology services in Purbalingga Regency. The system is designed to integrate the identification and history of measuring instruments, volumetric instruments, weighing instruments, and other legal metrology equipment (UTTP), including verification scheduling, test result records, validity notifications, risk mapping, digital archives, QR code verification, complaint management, and action dashboards. This study aims to analyze service problems, develop an innovative system design, and formulate implementation strategies with measurable benefits. A qualitative descriptive case study approach was applied, combined with design science principles during the conceptual design phase. Data were collected through participatory observation, regulatory and document reviews, official government information, previous studies, and benchmarking of related innovations. Analysis was conducted using process mapping, gap analysis, root cause analysis, stakeholder analysis, and theory of change. The findings reveal several challenges, including fragmented data, inefficient instrument history tracking, non-automated reminders, repetitive reporting processes, limited spatial data utilization, and inconsistent access management. SIM AKURAT addresses these issues through unique UTTP identification, integrated service processes, automated notifications, risk-based supervision, audit trails, dashboards, and future interoperability with SPBE and Satu Data Indonesia. Implementation is recommended through a minimum viable product and pilot testing, followed by evaluation of functionality, security, user acceptance, and service benefits. SIM AKURAT is expected to improve data accuracy, operational efficiency, compliance with re-verification requirements, monitoring effectiveness, transparency, and public trust through consistent organizational and technological transformation.

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine the potential of Bali’s Binyan Forest as a prototype for Vanaprastha Tourism—a holistic model rooted in Balinese Hindu philosophy that integrates ecotourism, wellness, and spiritual reflection. Despite its proximity to the Batur UNESCO Global Geopark and its rich biodiversity, the forest remains underdeveloped as a community-led tourism destination. To explore this potential, the research employed a participatory photovoice methodology, engaging local youth to capture photographs and narratives that reflect the forest’s ecological, spiritual, and cultural significance. Data were analyzed thematically, combining visual and narrative evidence to highlight community perspectives. The findings reveal that Binyan Forest embodies key assets—such as canopy shade, sacred springs, gentle slopes, and tranquil spaces—that correspond to the seven core elements of Vanaprastha Tourism. Community accounts further emphasized the forest’s capacity for healing, contemplation, and gentle exercise, while also identifying management challenges including waste and trail erosion. The study’s originality lies in linking the Vanaprastha framework with participatory action research, offering a transferable methodology for regenerative destination development. It demonstrates how meaningful tourism experiences can emerge from ecological preservation, cultural respect, and community voice rather than from constructed attractions or heavy infrastructure.

Abstract

Destination marketing communication in agritourism is generally analysed through paid channels and social media, while direct interaction between farmers and visitors is rarely treated as a communication channel in its own right. This study aims to explain how the warmth of farmer-visitor interaction triggers word-of-mouth communication and how it relates to revisit intention in Indonesian agritourism. A qualitative approach using Straussian Grounded Theory procedures was applied. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with twenty-four informants across five agritourism destinations, namely Agro Rakyat, Hortimart Agro Center, Jatiluwih, Arjuna Farm, and Agrowisata Sodong as a contrasting comparison, complemented by observation and document tracing, then analysed using NVivo 14 through open and axial coding. Findings show that warmth and emotional closeness in interaction appeared in 23 of 24 data sources. What visitors found memorable was not standardised friendliness but farmers' willingness to share the difficulties of their work and the feeling of being received as a guest. The observed pathway consistently follows the Stimulus-Organism-Response framework, with the encounter as stimulus, satisfaction and emotional attachment as internal state, and revisit intention, recommendation, and social media storytelling as response. The study concludes that encounter quality constitutes a communication investment, and proposes sincerity as a candidate service quality dimension requiring further testing.

Abstract

The agritourism literature is dominated by studies of successful destinations, while destinations that fail are seldom examined systematically, even though these hold the clearest evidence of the minimum conditions agritourism must meet in order to survive. This study aims to explain the process of functional conversion at Agrowisata Sodong in Semarang City, which ceased operating as an agritourism destination in 2023 after shifting into a water-park-based recreation area, and to formulate an early detection model usable by destinations still in operation. The approach is qualitative, applying Straussian Grounded Theory procedures to a single case. Data were collected through in-depth interviews with three key informants — the site manager, an officer of the sub-district community empowerment institution, and a sub-coordinator of the Semarang City Tourism Office — complemented by observation and document tracing, then analysed with NVivo 14, producing 89 substantive notes. The findings show that the failure was caused neither by limitations of land potential nor by accessibility, but by the sequential collapse of five foundations: conservation of productive land, farmer empowerment, participatory governance, innovation of the offering, and social philosophy. The process was cumulative and mutually contagious, with no single decision identifiable as the cause. On this basis the study formulates the Agritourism Foundation Erosion Model, a diagnostic instrument that maps the five foundations across four stages of erosion and sets a warning threshold for managers of destinations still in operation.

Abstract

Tourism destinations are increasingly expected not only to provide enjoyable experiences but also to contribute to tourists’ psychological well-being. However, limited attention has been given to how operational risk management can support eudaimonic tourist well-being through memorable tourism experiences. This study aims to examine the effects of Operational Risk Management Performance (ORMP) on Memorable Tourism Experience (MTE) and Eudaimonic Tourist Well-Being (ETWB), as well as the mediating role of MTE in the relationship between ORMP and ETWB in the Dieng Plateau, Central Java, Indonesia. A quantitative approach was employed using survey data from 334 tourists visiting the destination. Data were analyzed using Partial Least Squares Structural Equation Modeling (PLS-SEM) to evaluate the measurement and structural models and test the proposed hypotheses. The results show that ORMP has a positive and significant effect on MTE (β = 0.687; t = 24.815; p < 0.001), while MTE positively and significantly affects ETWB (β = 0.454; t = 8.573; p < 0.001). ORMP also directly affects ETWB (β = 0.406; t = 7.722; p < 0.001). Furthermore, MTE significantly mediates the relationship between ORMP and ETWB (indirect effect = 0.312; t = 8.086; p < 0.001), indicating complementary mediation. These findings highlight that effective operational risk management can create safe, reliable, and meaningful tourism experiences that contribute to tourists’ eudaimonic well-being.
