Developing a Model for Sustainable Traditional Tourism Village

Abstract

The failure to develop traditional tourism villages is due to the neglect of contextual factors, the dominance of government knowledge and the use of blueprint models of past policy successes to design future policies without understanding different political-economic conditions resulting in conflicts over the management of tourism resources, degradation of local values and customs, weak community commitment to policy processes and results and minimal policy innovation. The institutional approach through various institutional analysis development and adaptive governance is a new framework for strengthening institutions and government capacity and improving adaptive political decision-making methods. The study uses policy analysis methods with a quantitative approach, trade-off analysis techniques with several data collection techniques starting from in-depth interviews, observations, documentation searches, FGDs of 17 stakeholder groups, expert discussions. The study found that prioritizing strengths and local wisdom values of indigenous communities and providing their perspective in looking at the current and future use of tourism resources while still paying attention to necessary needs are vital aspects of developing a new model. This can contribute to forming a critical knowledge space for indigenous communities, encouraging adaptive governance, and creating spaces for the presence of local champions as liaison leadership in the policy planning process.
