EKOGASTRONOMI UNTUK PARIWISATA BERKELANJUTAN & KETAHANAN PANGAN DI LERENG GUNUNG KAWI: STUDI PADA DESA BANGELAN

Teddy Chandra — 2026-08-24

Ecogastronomy offers a sustainable solution for regions to address the challenges posed by over-tourism while fostering a more inclusive and diverse economy. Sustainable tourism, grounded in the sustainability paradigm, focuses on meeting the needs of the present generation without compromising those of future generations. Food security has emerged as a global issue and aligns with the first Sustainable Development Goal: Zero Hunger. Many nations, including Indonesia, have prioritized food security within their development agendas. This study aims to identify the potential of ecogastronomy to support sustainable tourism and food security in Bangelan Tourism Village, located on the slopes of Mount Kawi in Malang Regency. A qualitative research method was employed, utilizing data gathered through literature reviews, observations, and interviews. The findings reveal several ecogastronomy assets in Bangelan Village that strongly support sustainable tourism development and bolster food security: Bangelan Coffee, Peranakan Etawa goat farming, tilapia fish farming, citrus and horticultural agrotourism, and water conservation efforts at Tanaka Waterfall & Bangelan Café. With the support and synergy of all tourism stakeholders, Bangelan Village has the potential to evolve into a thriving tourism village advancing economically, socially, culturally, and environmentally in alignment with the sustainable tourism development paradigm.

PENGEMBANGAN MAKANAN TRADISIONAL UNTUK KETAHANAN PANGAN DAN PARIWISATA BERKELANJUTAN DI KAWASAN WISATA PURA SURANADI

Joko Prayitno — 2026-08-24

The Suranadi Temple area in Lombok possesses rich traditional culinary resources that remain underutilized as drivers of sustainable tourism. This study investigates how traditional foods—particularly sate bulayak, pecel, pelecing, dodol, and rujak—can strengthen food security while enhancing cultural tourism based on local heritage. A descriptive qualitative approach was employed. Data were collected through field observations, in-depth interviews with food vendors, visitors, temple custodians, and site managers, and field documentation conducted The findings reveal three key points. First, the traditional foods of Suranadi Temple embody strong cultural and spiritual values through their close association with Hindu religious rituals and ceremonies. Second, the local culinary economy relies on fresh, locally sourced ingredients sold at affordable prices, thereby supporting community economic resilience. Third, the absence of government support through structured development programs creates a significant barrier to the long-term sustainability of the local culinary sector. This study proposes a culinary heritage tourism framework grounded in Hindu–Sasak local wisdom as a sustainable tourism model that can be adapted to other religious tourism destinations with similar cultural characteristics.

EVENTISASI WARISAN BUDAYA DALAM KOMUNIKASI PARIWISATA: STUDI TURNAMEN GASING DI MALIMBU, LOMBOK UTARA

I Ketut Putu Suardana — 2026-08-24

This study aims to analyze the eventization of cultural heritage in tourism communication through the organization of traditional spinning-top tournaments in Malimbu, North Lombok. Traditional spinning-top games represent not only a form of community recreation but also embody social values and cultural identity that hold potential for development as community-based tourism attractions. This study employs a qualitative approach using a case study method. Data collection is designed through observation, in-depth interviews, documentation, and social media content analysis, particularly examining the publication of spinning-top tournaments through Robin Ahmad's social media account during 2026. The analysis focuses on the process of transforming traditional games into organized tournament events, the representation of local cultural identity, and the construction of tourism messages through digital media. The study draws on Stuart Hall's theory of cultural representation and the concept of event tourism to examine the relationship between cultural heritage preservation, cultural event organization, and tourism communication. Conceptually, this study positions the eventization of cultural heritage as a communication practice that connects cultural preservation, the construction of local identity, and the dissemination of messages through digital media. The findings are expected to contribute to the development of tourism communication studies based on cultural heritage and provide insights for local communities and stakeholders in sustainably developing cultural activities.

NEGOSIASI HOROR MELALUI SPIRITUALITAS ISLAM: KONSTRUKSI MAKNA MISTIS DALAM EKOWISATA GOA JEPANG KALIURANG

Nashrul Mu'minin — 2026-08-24

This study examines how horror narratives at Goa Jepang Kaliurang are negotiated through Islamic spirituality in ecotourism. It addresses a gap in tourism and Islamic studies, where mystical narratives are commonly framed as attractions rather than contested meanings shaped by religion, historical memory, and environmental ethics. Using a qualitative case study, data were collected through semi-structured interviews with visitors, local residents, tourism actors, and site managers, complemented by field observations and historical-tourism documents. Data were analyzed using Creswell’s qualitative procedures and Saldaña’s coding process to identify patterns of horror narratives, spiritual interpretation, and environmental ethics. The findings show that mystical experiences are constructed through interactions between fear, historical memory, Islamic understandings of the unseen, and perceptions of sacred-natural space. Rather than eliminating horror narratives, Islamic spirituality redirects them toward reflective tourism that discourages superstition, strengthens historical awareness, and promotes environmental responsibility. The study contributes an Islamic ecotourism perspective for interpreting haunted heritage as a space of spiritual reflection, ethical learning, and ecological stewardship.

PERENCANAAN PENGEMBANGAN DAYA TARIK WISATA BERBASIS PENGALAMAN WISATAWAN DI PROVINSI KEPULAUAN BANGKA BELITUNG

Marissa Pusparini — 2026-08-24

Tourist attraction development requires planning based on visitor experience because tourists directly assess attractions, access, facilities, services, and the quality of visits. This study analyzes tourist experience as a basis for planning tourist attraction development in Bangka Belitung Islands Province. The study used a descriptive mixed method with a convergent design. Data were collected from January to March 2026 through questionnaires involving 400 domestic tourists at several tourist attractions. Closed-ended responses were analyzed using frequency and percentage distributions, while open-ended responses on impressions, complaints, and improvement needs were analyzed through open coding and thematic grouping. The results show that natural beauty was the main motivation for visiting, while recreation was the dominant travel purpose. Most tourists spent two to four hours at the destination and spent no more than Rp100,000 per person. Friends, family, and the internet became the main sources of information. Positive experiences were shaped by natural scenery, coastal atmosphere, uniqueness, and local experiences. However, tourists highlighted cleanliness, limited public facilities, access conditions, and weak souvenir availability as key problems. The findings indicate that destination development should prioritize basic facilities, cleanliness management, accessibility, local culinary and souvenir products, digital information, and experience-based interpretation.

PERAN PEMERINTAH DAERAH DALAM PENGUATAN DESA WISATA: STUDI KASUS DESA WISATA SUKARARA, SETANGGOR, DAN BILEBANTE

Mohamad Gozali — 2026-08-24

This study aims to examine the role of the Central Lombok Regency Tourism and Culture Office in developing three tourist villages: Setanggor, Bilebante, and Sukarara Tourism Villages. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method with a case study approach. Data were collected through observations, interviews with ten informants, and reviews of tourism-related literature and journals. The findings reveal that the Tourism and Culture Office plays three significant roles in the development of tourist villages, namely as a motivator, facilitator, and dynamist. As a motivator, the office encourages community participation through village visits, socialization programs, and tourism-related training to improve local knowledge and skills. As a facilitator, the office provides supporting facilities such as toilets, trash bins, and other tourism infrastructure. Furthermore, as a dynamist, the office supports tourism recovery after the Covid-19 pandemic, promotes community involvement, provides guidance and recommendations, and strengthens cooperation with stakeholders. These efforts have positively contributed to the growth and sustainability of tourist villages in Central Lombok. This study contributes theoretically and practically to understanding the public sector’s role in tourism village development and offers policy recommendations for future tourism strategies.

ETHICS, DEATH, AND DIGITAL NARRATIVES: MORAL DISENGAGEMENT IN GOOGLE MAPS REVIEWS OF BATU LEMO

Muhamad Zhabiyan Dwi Putra — 2026-08-24

The rise of dark tourism as part of contemporary tourism has raised various ethical dilemmas regarding the commodification of death, cultural sensitivities, and tourist behavior toward sacred spaces. However, research on tourists’ moral rationalizations in the context of dark tourism, particularly based on digital reviews, remains very limited. This study aims to analyze ethical aspects of dark tourism in Batu Lemo, Tana Toraja, through the perspective of moral disengagement theory. Therefore, this study employs a review analysis approach within a constructivist paradigm to explore how tourists construct moral justifications for death-based tourism experiences. Research data were obtained from 268 Google Maps reviews of Batu Lemo from 2018 to 2026, collected using scraping techniques via SerpAPI and analyzed using thematic analysis with the assistance of NVIVO 12 software. The results indicate that tourists actively employ mechanisms of moral disengagement, particularly cognitive restructuring, consequence distortion, and dehumanization, to interpret burial sites as objects of entertainment, visual consumption, and ordinary tourism experiences. On the other hand, some tourists continue to demonstrate moral sensitivity by respecting the culture and ancestors of the Toraja people. This study contributes to the development of dark tourism research by integrating perspectives from moral psychology, tourism ethics, and digital review analysis. The findings underscore the importance of strengthening tourism ethics education and implementing destination management practices that are more sensitive to local cultural values.
