The synergy among stakeholders to develop Pisang Island as marine tourism: The case of underdeveloped area

Abstract

This research is motivated by the problems that arise from the implementation of the strategy of tourism development and a creative economy in Pisang Island of Pesisir Barat District, Lampung Province. The purpose of this research is to analyze the synergy between various parties in the development of marine tourism in Pisang Island. The research uses descriptive and qualitative approaches. The data collection techniques in use include interviews, documentation, and observation. Data analysis is carried out through data reduction, data display, and conclusion. The results showed that the strategy of marine tourism development in Pisang Island was not well implemented as a result of the lack of co-operation between government, society, and investors. The government was the pioneer of the construction of facilities, in both the main facilities and infrastructure, for potential investors who would invest their capital. As a result of this research, the recommendations to be made are that local governments should increase extension activities (such as training and community education) to create community awareness. Furthermore, private sectors could invest their capital by pioneering the development of facilities that do not yet exist needed near tourism attractions.

Tantangan Pengembangan Wisata Berdasarkan Dinamika Partisipasi Masyarakat Desa Montongsari, Kabupaten Kendal

“…FGD merupakan proses pengumpulan data dan informasi melalui diskusi kelompok tentang isu atau topik spesifik untuk memecahkan masalah atau mencapai kesepakatan tertentu (Sugarda, 2020). FGD tersebut dipilih karena dapat untuk mengetahui kerjasama dan komunikasi stakeholder dalam menemukan solusi pengembangan wisata (Kagungan & Yulianti, 2019).…”

“…Selain itu, saat FGD 1, sebagian masyarakat tidak berpartisipasi aktif dikarenakan adanya pemikiran bahwa pengembangan wisata tidak berdampak bagi masyarakat yang memiliki usaha pertanian. Menurut penelitian terdahulu, masyarakat kurang aktif dikarenakan kurangnya kesadaran, kecenderungan masyarakat yang lebih fokus pada aktivitas sehari-hari (bertani), serta adanya persepsi masyarakat bahwa sektor pertanian lebih menghasilkan dibandingkan wisata (Kagungan & Yulianti, 2019;Kala & Bagri, 2018). Artinya, aktivitas dan kebiasaan masyarakat juga menjadi tantangan dalam meningkatkan partisipasi masyarakat untuk terlibat secara langsung maupun tidak langsung.…”
