Abstract

Multilateral development organizations are increasingly expected to deliver effective results in environments characterized by uncertainty, complex stakeholder landscapes, and evolving policy priorities. Yet limited empirical evidence explains how internal organizational capabilities translate into perceived development effectiveness. This study examines whether the World Bank Group’s ability to sense stakeholder needs translates into effectiveness through the sequential activation of seizing and reconfiguring capabilities within the context of Indonesia’s development portfolio. Using stakeholder perception data from the Indonesia Country Opinion Survey and a serial mediation design, the analysis tests a theory-driven model in which sensing capability influences effectiveness through resource mobilization and adaptive partnership adjustment. Results reveal that sensing capability does not directly predict perceived effectiveness once mediating mechanisms are considered. Instead, its influence operates fully through indirect pathways. The dominant mechanism runs through seizing capability, indicating that the ability to deploy sector expertise across domains such as human capital, infrastructure, institutions, and sustainability constitutes the primary channel through which effectiveness is realized. Reconfiguring capability provides an additional but smaller contribution, reflecting the role of responsiveness and flexibility in sustaining alignment with evolving development needs. The full sequential pathway from sensing through seizing and reconfiguring to effectiveness is statistically supported, demonstrating that adaptation functions as an integrated process rather than a set of independent activities. These findings advance understanding of how dynamic organizational processes shape development outcomes and suggest that strengthening technical delivery capacity and institutional adaptability may be more consequential than investments in diagnostic capability alone. The study highlights the importance of examining internal capability mechanisms to better understand how development institutions convert environmental awareness into stakeholder-recognized results.

Abstract

This research argues that the basic principles of ESG are not new and can be interpreted through local wisdom. Discussions about ESG are often dominated by Western-centric approaches that fail to integrate local wisdom. This research draws on the Balinese Tri Hita Karana (THK) philosophy, which harmonizes the relationship between humans, God, others, and nature. The purpose of this research is to explore ESG concepts and practices based on local wisdom in Indonesia. This research can provide a more comprehensive understanding in developing ESG strategies that positively impact society and the environment, while maintaining sustainable relationships between companies and local communities. THK provides a more holistic and context-based sustainability framework by incorporating spiritual and cultural dimensions. The implementation of THK has been proven to enhance local economic diversification, cultural preservation, and stakeholder education, establishing a holistic sustainability benchmark for local, national, and global adaptation. To achieve its objectives, this study reviewed 10 local wisdom-based ESG articles with an Indonesian background. To identify relevant articles, the study evaluated the Scopus, Web of Science, and Google Scholar databases. This research focused on the ESG concept and its implementation based on Tri Hita Karana. The analysis revealed that ESG planning, implementation, and evaluation that consider local wisdom can result in sustainable ESG practices. This research will also assist future researchers in conducting local wisdom-based ESG research through the identified research gaps. Additionally, this study recommends collaborative and adaptive strategies for the government, industry, and community to further mainstream THK as a universal principle for inclusive and resilient sustainable business.

Abstract

This study examines visual artworks created by blind and low-vision artists through a sociology of art lens, focusing on two domains. The first concerns how artworks are produced through material strategies and community-based support networks. The second addresses how artworks are received and interpreted by the public, including reception biases that foreground disability as the primary narrative. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, the study draws on semi-structured interviews that were audio-recorded and transcribed, complemented by artifact analysis of documented artworks. The data were analyzed through thematic coding to map patterns of creative adaptation, forms of accompaniment and support, and mechanisms of legitimization through publication and exhibitions. The findings indicate that artistic production integrates residual visual-form memory in a low-vision artist who experienced vision loss during adolescence, tactile control, and material engineering such as the use of textures and clay to construct relief and enhance form readability. In terms of reception, the public frequently frames blind painting practice as “extraordinary” due to the assumption that visual art must rely primarily on sight, causing appreciation to shift toward emotional admiration. The study argues for a fair evaluative framework and curatorial mediation that re-centres interpretation on artistic decisions and production strategies, so that inclusive art moves beyond normative discourse toward evidence-based practice.

Abstract

The Sacred Nampyog Dance performed during the piodalan ceremony at Samuan Tiga Temple, Bedulu Traditional Village, Gianyar, Bali, represents a distinctive form of Balinese ritual art that integrates aesthetic, religious, social, and cultural dimensions. Although previous research has documented its ritual function and performance characteristics, studies interpreting its diverse elements as an interconnected symbolic system remain limited. This study aims to analyze and interpret the symbolic meanings and religious functions of the Nampyog Dance through its movements, facial expressions, costumes, musical accompaniment, sacred space, and ritual context. Employing a qualitative descriptive-interpretive approach, data were collected through observation, interviews with permas dancers, pemangku, traditional leaders, and community members, as well as documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. Clifford Geertz’s symbolic anthropology and Victor Turner’s ritual and liminality theories were used as interpretive frameworks. The findings indicate that the Nampyog Dance constitutes an integrated symbolic system in which abah, tangkis, and tangkep movements, ritual sequences, costumes, music, sacred space, and performer configuration convey meanings of devotion, purification, tranquility, togetherness, harmony, and the relationship between humans and transcendent forces. The dance also functions as a medium of religious experience, social solidarity, cultural transmission, and preservation of community identity. From a Geertzian perspective, Nampyog operates as a living cultural text and a model for reality that guides community members in maintaining ritual order, practicing ngayah, respecting sacred spaces, and reproducing religious and cultural values across generations.

Abstract

Contemporary religious life increasingly demonstrates practices that are not exclusively grounded in metaphysical sacrality. Religious symbols, rituals, and identities are frequently mobilized as social resources, moral references, and instruments of legitimacy, even when sacred claims are contested or selectively suspended. This article aims to analyze religion as a social practice without positioning sacrality as its primary analytical assumption. The study employs a qualitative approach with an interpretive-critical orientation, drawing on Émile Durkheim’s conception of the sacred as a socially constructed source of collective solidarity, Max Weber’s perspectives on rationalization and religious authority, Michel Foucault’s analysis of power relations and discourse, and Talal Asad’s understanding of religion as a discursive tradition shaped by historical and social conditions. Data were collected through participatory observation, semi-structured in-depth interviews, and document analysis, and examined through iterative thematic-critical analysis. The findings reveal that contemporary religious practices may function as pragmatic social actions oriented toward social cohesion, moral legitimation, and access to symbolic resources, even when metaphysical sacrality is not the primary motivation of participants. Sacrality emerges not as an inherently fixed essence but as a contingent outcome of social production, negotiation, and contestation among actors, institutions, and power structures. Claims of sacredness are strategically employed to authorize meanings, regulate behavior, and constrain criticism, although their effectiveness increasingly depends on fragmented social recognition. Religious authority is consequently no longer monopolized by formal institutions but is dispersed across everyday practices, public discourse, charismatic figures, and digital platforms. By integrating the analysis of religious practice, symbolic power, and the negotiation of meaning, this study proposes an analytical framework that repositions sacrality as a variable social outcome rather than an ontological prerequisite for understanding religion. The framework contributes to critical sociology and anthropology of religion by explaining how religious practices, authority, and legitimacy are continuously reconstructed within contemporary social life.

Abstract

Destination management organizations need attraction-level evidence, but open records at that level are scarce and rarely tested for representativeness. This study audits a public dataset of 52,930 TripAdvisor review records, written by 33,530 users about 30 popular attractions across Bali, Malang, and Yogyakarta with reported visit years from 2013 to 2022, and asks which strategic priorities such records can responsibly support. The analysis combines descriptive statistics with Wilson confidence intervals, Holm-adjusted comparisons, user-clustered bootstrap intervals, and comparisons with official Bali and Yogyakarta tourism series. Kuta Beach, Yogyakarta Palace, and Seminyak Beach had low-rating shares of 23.1, 15.3, and 13.0 percent against a dataset baseline of 6.2 percent, and three further sites were modestly elevated; the gap held across continents of origin and across years. Sacred Monkey Forest Sanctuary held the highest record count in every year from 2013 to 2019, yet swings elsewhere exceeded sampling error, and annual record counts did not follow official arrivals. Reviewer origin shifted, with Australia declining and the United Kingdom rising, but the records overstated the United Kingdom and nearly omitted China, so they do not describe the source-market mix. These records justify field checks of service quality at the flagged sites, but they cannot establish demand or guide marketing allocations. Malang is an exploratory East Java comparator because it contributes only 829 records. The findings describe platform reviewers, not all visitors; volume and origin patterns still need official validation.

Abstract

This qualitative netnographic study investigated public discourse surrounding the 2026 experimental traffic management trials in Ubud, Bali. Analyzing 1,095 public comments collected from official municipal social media posts across Facebook, Instagram, and TikTok (21 August – 15 September 2026) using reflexive thematic analysis by two independent coders, the study tracks how digital responses evolved across three temporal phases. Findings reveal a dynamic shift: Phase I generated localized spatial confusion and detour complaints; Phase II was evaluated as manageable relative to subsequent paralysis; while Phase III's comprehensive one-way scheme triggered widespread gridlock (1.5–4-hour travel delays), severe socio-economic disruptions for commuters and tourism drivers, pedestrian hazards, and criticism over low-resolution map communication deficits. Public frustration was vividly expressed through local Balinese idioms (benyah latig [total breakdown]) and spatial metaphors (care nyelepin bubu [like entering a bamboo fish trap]). This real-time digital outrage functioned as a bottom-up civic feedback loop that signaled breached community tolerance thresholds, directly compelling municipal authorities to execute an emergency policy rollback reverting traffic flow to the Phase II scheme. Utilizing anonymized public data, this research demonstrates how social media discourse serves as an unmediated policy evaluation mechanism and highlights the necessity of pre-trial digital traffic simulations, multi-channel transparent communication, and structured stakeholder consultations in historic tourism hubs.

Abstract

Developing emerging rural tourism destinations increasingly requires a shift from product-oriented tourism development to experience-oriented destination management. However, relatively little attention has been given to integrating locally owned accommodation and culinary services with natural landscapes and community participation to create memorable tourism experiences (MTEs), particularly in emerging nature-based destinations. This study addresses this gap by examining the development of local accommodation and culinary services around Ulu Petanu Waterfall, Gianyar, Bali, Indonesia. A qualitative case study approach was employed using in-depth interviews, field observations, and document analysis. Primary data were obtained from destination managers, local culinary entrepreneurs, accommodation providers, and tourists, while credibility was enhanced through source and methodological triangulation. The findings indicate that Ulu Petanu has developed through a bottom-up process driven by local communities and is currently characterized by the transition from community involvement toward destination development. Five dimensions of memorable tourism experience hedonism, novelty, meaningfulness, involvement, and knowledge—were identified in tourists' experiences. Natural tranquility and rural landscapes contributed strongly to hedonic and novelty experiences, while local food, community interaction, cleanliness, comfort, and accommodation environments contributed to meaningfulness. Nevertheless, involvement and knowledge remain comparatively underdeveloped because tourist participation is predominantly consumptive, and interpretation facilities, English-language information, and experiential activities remain limited. The study proposes an integrated Nature, Accommodation, Local Culinary, Community and Experience model, in which accommodation and culinary services function not merely as supporting amenities but as experiential interfaces connecting tourists with nature and local community life. The model contributes to the literature by integrating community-based tourism, destination development, sustainable tourism, and MTE perspectives within an emerging rural nature destination.
