Abstract

This study explores the development of geotourism in the Prambanan region of Yogyakarta by integrating geological, geophysical, and cultural data to design a strategic geotrail. Located along the Opak Fault and rich in volcanic history, Prambanan features diverse geosites such as Tebing Breksi, Lava Bantal Berbah, and Candi Abang. Through a multidisciplinary methodology combining geological mapping, gravity surveys, and cultural site assessments, six key geosites were evaluated using Kubalikova’s framework. Tebing Breksi emerged as the most feasible site due to its rich pyroclastic breccia formations and cultural functions, while other sites showed moderate to high potential. Geophysical analysis using the Lacoste & Romberg gravitymeter revealed fault structures critical to infrastructure safety and disaster mitigation. The study proposes the development of integrated geotrails supported by educational panels, improved facilities, community involvement, and conservation strategies. By connecting geological significance with cultural heritage and local livelihoods, this research supports the sustainable enhancement of tourism infrastructure in Prambanan. The findings provide valuable input for policymakers, tourism planners, and educators, emphasizing the role of geoscience in destination development. Limitations include the need for deeper geotechnical and socio-economic impact studies. Future research may explore visitor engagement and smart tourism technologies for enriched geosite experiences.

Abstract

This study explores how tourism communities in Indonesia navigated disruption and recovery in the aftermath of the COVID-19 pandemic. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, focus group discussions, and participant observation across selected small island destinations. Thematic analysis revealed that the pandemic not only disrupted livelihoods but also reshaped perceptions of vulnerability and resilience. Respondents emphasized the severity of income loss, psychological distress, and the erosion of community ties during the crisis. However, recovery pathways were marked by adaptive strategies including diversification into agriculture and fisheries, increased reliance on domestic tourists, and the creative use of digital platforms for marketing and communication. Community solidarity, traditional knowledge, and cultural practices emerged as critical resources that supported both economic survival and social cohesion. The findings highlight that resilience in Indonesian tourism is constructed through a combination of adaptive innovation and socio-cultural embeddedness rather than through technical or policy frameworks alone. This study contributes to resilience theory by grounding it in the lived experiences of local stakeholders and offers practical insights for policymakers seeking to support sustainable and inclusive tourism recovery in post-crisis contexts.

Abstract

This study investigates how cultural authenticity is constructed and negotiated through host–guest interactions in Indonesian tourism settings. While authenticity has long been a central concept in tourism research, much of the existing literature treats it as either an objective attribute of cultural products or a subjective perception held by tourists. This study instead emphasizes authenticity as a relational process that emerges in encounters between hosts and visitors. Using a qualitative design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with local performers, artisans, and cultural guides, as well as in-depth conversations with domestic and international tourists in selected cultural destinations in Bali and Lombok. Participant observation of performances, festivals, and heritage sites complemented the interviews. Thematic analysis revealed three dominant patterns: first, hosts often engage in strategic performances that balance cultural pride with commercial expectations; second, tourists’ perceptions of authenticity vary, with some seeking immersion in local traditions while others prefer commodified representations; third, tensions arise when host communities feel pressured to alter or simplify traditions to meet visitor demand.

Abstract

This study explores the gendered dynamics of participation in community-based tourism (CBT) initiatives in Indonesia. Although CBT has been widely promoted as a strategy for sustainable development and local empowerment, gender relations often shape who benefits, who participates, and whose voices are heard in decision-making. Drawing on a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with women entrepreneurs, homestay operators, craft producers, and community leaders in Lombok and Flores, alongside focus group discussions with mixed-gender community members. Participant observation of daily tourism activities and local meetings provided additional contextual insights. Thematic analysis revealed that women’s involvement in CBT is simultaneously empowering and constraining. On one hand, participation created new income opportunities, enhanced skills, and strengthened women’s social visibility. On the other hand, entrenched gender norms and household responsibilities limited their ability to fully engage in leadership roles or access higher-value segments of tourism. Tensions were particularly evident in negotiations between women’s economic aspirations and cultural expectations of domestic labor. The study concludes that CBT in Indonesia cannot be assumed to be gender-neutral; rather, its outcomes are mediated by local gender relations. Findings offer implications for designing gender-sensitive tourism policies that foster equitable empowerment.

Abstract

This study explores the ways in which religious and spiritual practices shape tourism experiences in Indonesia, focusing on how devotion, ritual, and meaning-making intersect with travel. Religious tourism, encompassing pilgrimages, visits to sacred sites, and ritual participation, has become a growing segment of Indonesia’s tourism landscape, reflecting the country’s diverse spiritual traditions. Using a qualitative design, fieldwork was conducted at Islamic pilgrimage destinations in Lombok and Hindu temple sites in Bali, combining semi-structured interviews with pilgrims, local guides, and community leaders, alongside participant observation of ritual practices. Thematic analysis revealed three major dimensions of religious and spiritual tourism. First, participants described motivations rooted not in leisure but in faith obligations, spiritual renewal, and the search for blessings. Second, the experience of ritual participation provided a sense of communal belonging and emotional uplift, demonstrating how tourism can reinforce religious identity. Third, tensions emerged between devotion and commercialization, as some visitors expressed discomfort with the commodification of sacred spaces through ticketing, souvenirs, or staged performances. The findings suggest that religious tourism in Indonesia is not only a cultural and economic practice but also a deeply embodied form of devotion, where faith and travel converge to produce transformative experiences.
