Abstract

The Kemitraan Perhutani/Perhutani Partnership is a community-based forest management program that is oriented towards two goals, namely forest sustainability and community welfare. This program has been implemented in several areas, one of which is Wadang Village. This program in Wadang Village is supervised and implemented by Perhutani RPH Wadang, KPH Bojonegoro. Implementation of this program involves communities around the forest, especially farmers. Implementing this program in several other areas has had a positive impact on farmers or the community, especially regarding their economy. This research was intended to analyze the influence of the Kemitraan Perhutani/Perhutani Partnership program on the economic welfare of farmers who are members and it is hoped that it can become a basis for developing the economy of the community, especially farmers. This research uses descriptive methods and SEM-PLS to analyze the effect of participation on economic welfare. Samples were taken using the accidental sampling method with a sample of 75 farmers. Next, the survey data will be input into the SEM-PLS model and a simulation will be carried out to determine the effect of participation variables on economic welfare. The results obtained are that the variables participation in planning, participation in implementation, and participation in the utilization of results have values of 3.565; 3.253; and 4.343 respectively. This value has a value range of more than ≥ 1.96 so the participation variable in planning, implementation, and utilization of results has a significant effect on the economic welfare variable. Apart from that, the R² value obtained from the model is 0.75. This means that the economic welfare variable can be explained by 75% using participation variables in planning, implementation, and utilization of results. The conclusion above means that the greater the participation of farmers in the planning, implementation, and utilization stages, the greater the possibility that their economic welfare will also increase.

Abstract

Berawa Beach in Bali holds significant potential as a tourist destination due to its natural beauty and vibrant cultural attractions to contribute to the economic growth. However, Berawa Beach faced several problem such as inadequate amenities, accessibility issues, and infrastructure deficiencies hinder its ability to meet tourist expectations and contribute fully to the local economy. This study evaluates the quality of existing tourist attractions identified by 5A concepts framework (Attractions, activities, accessibility, accommodations, and amenities) based on tourist’ perceptions using Importance Performance Analysis (IPA) and formulated the best development recommendations for improvement as the result of Quality Function Deployment (QFD). Data were collected from 100 local and international tourists through questionnaires, and analyses revealed an average performance score of 3.53, an importance score of 4.03, and an average score of 87.45%. Within such analysis, the key aspect needing improvement among the 5A aspects are the accessibility and amenities aspect, while the remaining aspects have reached the tourists’ satisfaction. By the result, development priorities were formulated include adding more trash bins (14.26%), implementing traffic redirection (13.97%), limiting vehicle entry (13.80%), increasing cleaning staff (13.12%), building a clinic (12.57%), and adding more information board (12.00%). These recommendations aim to enhance accessibility and amenities, addressing immediate challenges while providing a model for sustainable tourism development. This research highlights the importance of targeted interventions to boost tourist satisfaction and economic contributions, offering actionable insights for stakeholders and serving as a guide for improving similar destinations.

Abstract

As rural tourism becomes a popular trend today, innovation in tourism development is needed to be sustainable and maintain the community's cultural values. Social capital is the basic capital of society for building networks and working together to achieve goals. Therefore, this research examines how social capital can contribute to tourism development innovation. The questionnaire as a research instrument was aimed at 248 families, and the results were analyzed using SmartPLS 3.0-type SEM software. The research results show that social capital originating from trust, norms, and community networks significantly affects innovation in Ponggok Village. This capital can accelerate the growth of innovation in village development. Village governments can provide discussion forums related to tourism, thereby enabling community involvement. Existing innovations must be maintained and optimized to create a competitive tourist village. Village governments must also focus on improving existing tourism services and fostering new ideas from the community.

Abstract

The revitalization of Pasar Pon Kabupaten Trenggalek aimed to enhance its role as an economic hub, but post-revitalization challenges have limited its effectiveness. A formal structure for market management has not yet been put in place, and its key roles and responsibilities, especially those related to managing the market and maintaining the building after the revitalization, remain undefined. This study evaluates and provides recommendations for improving the operational and service performance of Pasar Pon using SNI 8152:2021 standards, Importance-Performance Analysis (IPA), and Quality Function Deployment (QFD). Operational performance achieved a 63.6% compliance rate, revealing deficiencies in cleanliness, zoning, and management structures. Service performance, based on user feedback, highlighted critical areas requiring attention, including the number and quality of retail services and ATMs. Data collection included observations, questionnaires, and interviews, with analysis focusing on compliance with regulatory standards, user satisfaction, and prioritization of improvements. The QFD results identified clear management structures, streamlined vendor regulations, and digitalization as top priorities for enhancing performance. Findings suggest that addressing these gaps could significantly improve trader engagement, increase visitor satisfaction, and reinforce the market's economic role. This study contributes to the discourse on market revitalization by showcasing the integration of traditional market functions with modern standards and digital tools. The recommendations offer a roadmap for policymakers and market managers to implement sustainable improvements.

Abstract

This study explores the relationship between community social capital and the development of sustainable tourism in Kare Tourism Village, located in Madiun Regency. Kare Village offers various tourism potentials, including natural attractions, cultural heritage, and special interest tourism, all of which can support the village’s economic development. However, the village still faces several challenges, which are particularly low levels of community participation and limited institutional capacity, which hinder optimal tourism development. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 335 households through an accidental sampling technique and analyzed using Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). The results show that trust, especially trust in the village government, is the most influential component in shaping social capital in Kare Village. Social capital has been proven to have a significant and positive effect on sustainable tourism, with a path coefficient of 0.729. This indicates that strengthening community social capital in Kare Village could enhance tourism sustainability by up to 72.9%. Among the various indicators of sustainable tourism, marketing through digital platforms is the most influential factor, thus effective tourism management is essential to support the achievement of tourism sustainability. Overall, this study emphasizes the crucial role of social capital in fostering community engagement and ensuring the long-term success of rural tourism. However, the implications of these findings are contextual and most relevant for tourism villages with similar geographical conditions, institutional structures, and socio-economic characteristics as Kare Village.

Abstract

CBT has evolved as a transformative approach to sustainable tourism development, particularly in rural and coastal areas. The principles of CBT are highly relevant, as community involvement is the key to sustainability. Therefore, the success of CBT implementation does not solely depend on the potential of tourism attractions, but also on the social capital of the community, as it involves both community participation and governance. This study explores the role of social capital in shaping the success of CBT implementation in Tambakrejo Tourism Village, Malang Regency, Indonesia. Using a quantitative approach, data were collected from 270 community members and analyzed through stepwise multiple linear regression to identify indicators influencing CBT. Based on the significance test results, five indicators had p-values < 0.05, namely trust in village government (K3), trust in outsiders (K4), obedience to government regulations (N3), willingness to cooperate in village development (J1), and willingness to express opinions during meetings (J2), indicating that each has a significant influence on community perceptions of CBT. The adjusted R-squared value was 0.55, meaning that 55% of the variation in CBT implementation can be explained by these five social capital indicators. These findings affirm that CBT cannot thrive solely on physical resources; it must also be rooted in strong social relationships and the community’s readiness for collective action.

Abstract

The development of Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) has transformed agricultural land and forced community relocation, impacting villagers who primarily rely on agriculture. This study evaluates the impact of the development on community livelihood capitals, covering natural, physical, human, financial, and social capitals. Using a descriptive quantitative approach, data were collected through a primary survey with questionnaires involving 74 household heads in self-managed relocation sites as samples. The self-managed relocation group was chosen as it represents the largest affected group (54.6%). Pentagon Assets analysis and the Wilcoxon Signed Rank Test were applied to measure significant changes in livelihood capitals 8 years post-airport development. Findings reveal a sharp decline in natural capitals due to land conversion, with 55.41% of the community losing agricultural land and 58.11% facing a decrease in water quality.. Financial and social capitals also deteriorated due to reduced income, limited loan access, and weakened farming community bonds. Conversely, physical and human capitals improved, supported by compensation funds for infrastructure and better education access. However, rising land values have made it difficult for communities with limited compensation, pushing them toward informal employment. Thus, YIA’s development has significantly negatively impacted natural, financial, and social capitals, despite slight improvements in physical and human capitals.

Abstract

The development of the agropolitan area in Subang Regency is hindered by the absence of a clear focus on superior commodities. This study aims to identify key commodities to support effective and sustainable regional development. The analysis integrates several methods, primarily Location Quotient (LQ), Shift-Share Analysis, and Growth-Share Analysis, to determine commodity competitiveness and growth potential. Supporting insights were also drawn from institutional, subsystem, and SWOT analyses. The findings highlight that the horticulture subsector, particularly pineapple, demonstrates strong regional specialization, competitive advantage, and consistent production growth. These characteristics position pineapple as a dominant and prospective commodity for agropolitan development in Subang Regency. Consequently, strategic planning efforts are recommended to prioritize the expansion and support of pineapple cultivation.

Abstract

Pujon Kidul Village, located in Malang Regency, Indonesia, is a prominent tourist destination recognized for effectively leveraging its local tourism potential. However, during the COVID-19 pandemic, the village faced significant declines in tourist numbers, severely impacting its economy. In crisis situations, the involvement of local communities becomes critical for resilience and recovery. Specifically, in the post-pandemic period, community participation has emerged as essential for sustainable tourism revitalization. This study investigates the influence of social networks on collective decision-making in Pujon Kidul Village, Indonesia, and their contribution to sustainable tourism recovery following the COVID-19 pandemic. Data were collected from 225 households using Harry King's Nomogram sampling method, ensuring a representative sample. The research employed Structural Equation Modeling - Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS) to analyze the relationship between community social networks and collective decision-making. The findings reveal a strong positive correlation between social networks and effective collective action, highlighting the essential role of communication, collaboration, and coordinated efforts in driving post-pandemic tourism recovery. The results emphasize that robust social networks are crucial for enhancing resilience and fostering sustainable tourism development in crisis-affected communities.

Abstract

This study analyzes the condition of five livelihood assets in Ketapanrame Tourism Village to evaluate the implications of tourism development for household livelihoods. Primary data were collected through a household survey using simple random sampling, involving 350 respondents. Data analysis employed descriptive statistics based on a five point Likert scale to capture variations in asset ownership and access. The findings show that physical and social assets are relatively well developed. Most households have adequate access to housing, electricity, clean water, and basic public facilities, supported by a relatively high level of trust in village institutions and the village owned enterprise. In contrast, human and financial assets remain weak. Participation in training programs is limited, skills relevant to income diversification are unevenly distributed, and access to health insurance and financial savings is not evenly shared among households. A considerable proportion of respondents report household incomes at or below the regional minimum wage, indicating limited economic gains from tourism activities. Natural assets contribute selectively to livelihoods. Environmental cleanliness has improved, yet the productive use of village land differs across hamlets, with several areas remaining underutilized. These results indicate that tourism development has not uniformly strengthened all livelihood assets. The study highlights the need for targeted interventions, particularly in enhancing human capital and financial capacity, to ensure that tourism contributes more effectively to livelihood improvement. Strengthening skills development, expanding social protection, and promoting productive use of local natural resources are essential to support more inclusive and resilient livelihood outcomes in Ketapanrame Tourism Village.
