Abstract

The development of ecotourism in Indonesia has increasingly involved Village-Owned Enterprises (BUMDes) as institutional drivers of rural innovation and socio-economic transformation. This study explores the innovation practices of BUMDes in Klaten Regency, Central Java, which hosts one of the highest concentrations of active BUMDes in the country. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, the research examines six villages, including BUMDes classified as advanced, developing, and growing, with a focus on how innovation principles are implemented in ecotourism development. Data were collected through interviews, observations, and document analysis. The findings reveal that successful BUMDes adopt cooperative, participatory, emancipatory, transparent, accountable, and sustainable management practices. Villages such as Ponggok have leveraged natural resources, particularly water-based tourism, to generate substantial local revenue, reduce unemployment, and promote community participation. However, challenges remain, including limited human resources, regulatory constraints, and uneven innovation capacity across BUMDes categories. The study underscores the importance of institutional innovation, capacity building, and cross-sector collaboration in realizing ecotourism’s potential for rural empowerment. These insights contribute to the discourse on sustainable village development and provide practical implications for policy and community-based tourism governance.

Abstract

As emotionally-intelligent artificial intelligence (AI) becomes increasingly integrated into tourism experiences, its role in shaping cultural engagement warrants deeper exploration. This study investigates how AI emotional recognition and AI-driven cultural storytelling influence tourists’ emotional engagement, perceived cultural authenticity, and overall satisfaction in Taiwan’s heritage tourism context. Drawing on affective computing theory and narrative transportation, the research employs a cross-sectional survey of 235 tourists across three AI-enhanced cultural sites. Using partial least squares structural equation modeling (PLS-SEM), the findings reveal that both AI features significantly enhance emotional engagement, which in turn mediates their effects on authenticity and satisfaction. Perceived authenticity emerges as the strongest predictor of tourist satisfaction, especially in Indigenous heritage sites. Furthermore, tourists with higher cultural interest experience stronger authenticity outcomes from emotionally engaging encounters. These results underscore AI’s potential not only as a functional tool but as an affective co-creator of meaning in cultural tourism. The study contributes to tourism theory by integrating emotional responsiveness into smart tourism discourse and offers practical guidance for AI system design in heritage interpretation.

Abstract

This study conducts a systematic literature review of academic research published between 2013 and 2023, focusing on the role of local community participation in sustainable tourism. Using the PRISMA 2020 protocol, a total of 111 peer-reviewed journal articles were identified from Scopus, Web of Science, and ScienceDirect. The synthesis reveals five key thematic areas: participation mechanisms and governance structures, economic empowerment and livelihood diversification, cultural identity and heritage, barriers to meaningful participation, and long-term sustainability through community resilience. The findings show that while community participation is widely promoted in policy and academic discourse, its actual implementation varies greatly in depth and effectiveness. Genuine participation characterized by co-management, local ownership, and inclusive governance leads to improved socio-economic outcomes and greater resilience. However, many initiatives remain tokenistic, hindered by elite dominance, lack of technical capacity, and institutional constraints. Cultural commodification also emerges as a risk when local voices are excluded from decision-making. This review contributes to the literature by offering a decade-long synthesis of how community participation is conceptualized and applied in sustainable tourism. It also highlights practical implications for policymakers, NGOs, and tourism planners. Strengthening local governance and long-term institutional support is essential to ensure that tourism development is both inclusive and sustainable.

Abstract

This study explores the geotourism potential of Teletubbies Hill in Wukirharjo Village, Yogyakarta, through detailed topographical and geomorphological mapping. Employing a terrestrial survey method using Total Station instruments, the research generates high-resolution elevation data to assess landforms and slopes shaped by ancient volcanic processes associated with the Semilir Supervolcano. Morphographic and morphometric analyses reveal that the site consists of structural hills with slopes ranging from 8% to 20%, categorized into two development zones based on slope steepness. The findings support the suitability of Teletubbies Hill for sustainable geotourism initiatives that combine education, recreation, and conservation. Proposed developments include the construction of a geological museum and an outdoor geological park to highlight the region's volcanic heritage and geological features. This integrated approach offers a framework for transforming underutilized landscapes into educational geotourism destinations. While the reliance on terrestrial methods limits broader geological context, future research could incorporate remote sensing and socio-economic feasibility assessments to enhance planning outcomes.

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 investigates the types and sources of grammatical errors found in English essays written by students of Sekolah Tinggi Pariwisata (STP) Mataram. Given the contrastive structures between Indonesian (first language) and English (target language), language transfer and interlanguage phenomena are examined as contributing factors. Using a descriptive case study approach, data were collected from 90 student essays, supported by questionnaires and interviews. The analysis identified four primary types of grammatical errors: omission (40 percent), misordering (35 percent), overgeneralization (15 percent), and misinformation (10 percent), with omission emerging as the most frequent. Findings indicate that students often translate directly from Indonesian, leading to syntactic inaccuracies and structural deviations in English. Additionally, several errors reflect interlanguage development, wherein students produce forms that align with neither Indonesian nor standard English. These linguistic patterns highlight the need for targeted pedagogical interventions in English for Specific Purposes (ESP) instruction, especially in tourism and hospitality education, where effective written communication is essential. The study underscores the importance of raising students' metalinguistic awareness and integrating contrastive analysis into curriculum design to mitigate persistent grammatical errors.
