This study examines the implementation of Community-Based Tourism (CBT) around the Seven Level Waterfall in Bukit Berantai Village, Batang Asai District, Sarolangun Regency, and evaluates the strategic role of local and village governments in developing sustainable community-based tourism. The research addresses the critical need for effective government strategies in managing tourism destinations that empower local communities while preserving environmental and cultural heritage. Using a qualitative research approach, this study conducted in-depth interviews with local government officials, village administrators, tourism stakeholders, and community members to gather comprehensive insights into current management practices and challenges. Data collection involved systematic field observations, participatory research methods, and thorough analysis of tourism-related policy documents and regulatory frameworks. The theoretical foundation integrates tourism management principles with SWOT analysis methodology to identify internal strengths and weaknesses alongside external opportunities and threats facing the destination. Findings reveal that while the Seven Level Waterfall possesses significant natural tourism potential, current management faces substantial challenges including inadequate infrastructure, limited accessibility, insufficient promotional activities, lack of professional tourism services, and poor connectivity. The study identifies key strategic principles essential for sustainable tourism development, emphasizing community ownership, participatory decision-making, equitable benefit distribution, environmental conservation, and cultural preservation. Results demonstrate that effective government intervention as both facilitator and regulator is crucial for establishing comprehensive tourism management frameworks that enhance community empowerment, economic development, and destination sustainability, ultimately contributing to the broader goals of rural development and poverty alleviation.

Tourism is a major industry in Nepal and is viewed as a tool for economic development especially in rural regions that depend on parks and protected areas. The country’s natural and cultural resources are major assets that further develop and promote tourism, but the lack of skilled human resources remains as a major barrier. There is a critical need to prepare individuals to become leaders, decision-makers and entrepreneurs in the private and public sectors. Tourism and hospitality management education is a new field and gaining in importance as various institutions become involved in training and degree programmes. The purpose of the research described in this chapter was to conduct a situational analysis of tourism and hospitality management education in Nepal based on four categories: availability, affordability, accessibility and accountability. Thematic analysis was used to explore the educational content, skills and employment prospects for human resource development. The analysis revealed that formal education, training and capacity-building programmes in Nepal were limited to a small number of higher-education institutions with restricted enrolment quotas, located in only a few cities. Also, programmes were largely offered by private institutions, which limited accessibility and affordability for poor and marginalised individuals, notably in rural areas. A system for national quality assessment, accreditation and standardisation of curricula was absent. In such a context, coordination between the national government, tourism industry and academic institutions for modification of curricula and training could aid in building and strengthening the human resources that will be necessary to meet Nepal’s goals for tourism development.

This study offers a framework that can be adapted for developing other rural tourism destinations, combining environmental conservation, local economic empowerment, and cultural preservation.

Participation of citizens in decisions related to their cities and neighborhoods has been discussed within the framework of participatory democracy since the 1960’s.Public participation ensures legitimacy and accountability of the decision maker and improves the quality of decisions. On the other hand, debates continue on the impact of participants on the decision and indicators of successful participation. In this study, the participation process executed in order to support the decision process about the revitalization and renewal of an historic pattern is analysed. The area planned for improvement is located in the historical city centre of Canakkale, Fevzipasa Quarter, where dense Romani population lives. The project area (Zafer Square and its vicinity) consists oftwo little squares, a street that links these squares and a part of the Saricay riverside. Although the project area is parallel to the historical Carsi Street, which is used intensively by the city residents and tourists, it is at wilight zone. Zafer Square and its vicinity, which contains monumental and civil architectural samples, reflect the multi-cultural and multi-faith history of the city. This area is like a transition region among settlements where Romani people live with its pedestrianized trade axis. The question as to what kind of a function this area should have was investigated by the municipality with a participatory method. Previous participatory experiences about Fevzipasa Quarter and historical urban areas enabled a participatory decision-making process to be pursued in relation to this area and facilitated the participation process. Among strategic decision making methods, SWOT analysis and participatory scenario analysis were used in the decision making process. The participation process included focus group meetings held with stakeholders, individual interviews, a questionnaire filled by inhabitants of the quarter and tradesmen, and a workshop organized openly for all citizens. Focus groups were determined to be neighborhood residents and shopkeepers, tourism sector, non-governmental organizations and professional chambers, and government agencies. During the participation process which lasted for 3 months, the organization was managed by Canakkale Municipality and the author of this article undertook the duty of facilitating the meetings. Four development suggestions concerning Zafer Square and its vicinity were identified by participants. The first suggestion proposed that this area should be designed in accordance with the needs of the residents. This approach is expressed by both residents and some representatives of the non-governmental organizations. The second suggestion, made by representatives of tourism sector, it is about developing this area with a complete urban tourism strategy. The third suggestion was to transform this area into a cultural activity ground for the city. The fourth suggestion was to maintain its educational function which existed in the past and which was also adopted in recent times. The output of the participation process and current situation were considered, SWOT analysis was performed and two main development tendencies were detected; to develop and maintain the current “housing and education” or “housing and culture” function. Even though the tourism function is discussed considerably, it includes many uncertainties. The preservation of historical environments and the sustainability of the quarter are identified as the primary components, regardless of scenario. Two scenarios are created (A and B scenarios) with an intuitive logic approach. A scenario aims to preserve the current quarter fabric and increase the environmental quality. A scenario can be put into practice in a short time by Canakkale Municipality. It does not require co-operation with other stakeholders. Also, this scenario will ensure an increase in the interaction of the city and neighborhood in the long term. B scenario adopts a strategy where Zafer Square and its surroundings makes a contribution to the cultural tourism of the city, and hosts many cultural activities. This scenario contains a long-term development strategy and requires the co-operation of the urban actors. It also contains a social program that runs in parallel in order to empower the Romani people socioeconomically. Canakkale Municipality preferred A scenario and have partially put it into practice. The participation process created awareness about the area, and the subjects of preserving historical areas and the empowerment of Romans were re-opened for discussion in the city.

Big Data promises benefits for society as well as business. Do policy makers know how best to use this scale of data driven decision-making in an effective way for citizens? Citizen participation is portrayed in literature as a key component in policy decision-making. Yet, this decision-making process to date is often driven by other stakeholders such as scientific experts, academic institutions, national and international governing bodies, to name but a few. Furthermore, there is scant literature on the best way to create policy for new technology, taking into consideration the voice of the citizen. The prevailing question, therefore, is what extent does citizen participation in decision-making make a difference to shaping policy for technology? Our paper explores an experimental method for citizens to make a difference to European policy decision-making on the future of technology and the impact on society. Employing a case study of Irish citizens as part of the CIMULACT (Citizen and Multi-Actor Consultation on Horizon 2020) project this paper reports a new methodology for gathering citizens’ perspectives on future decision-making policies on technology. The findings reveal key advantages and disadvantages to this methodology. This paper makes a number of contributions to both the academic and practitioner communities.

This study examines strategic capacities and aspirations of 14 Indonesian tourism villages through a cross-regional SWOT and SOAR analysis. Using a qualitative multiple-case study design, semi-structured interviews was conducted with one Pokdarwis (Tourism Awareness Group) representative per village and reviewed secondary documents, coding data manually in Excel. Thematic analysis identified three core strengths rich natural attractions, distinctive cultural heritage, and active community involvement and three primary weaknesses underdeveloped infrastructure, limited strategic capacity, and low digital promotion. Key opportunities emerged around digital marketing, niche tourism product development, and multi-stakeholder collaboration, while environmental risks and fragmented governance surfaced as major threats. Informants’ aspirations centered on becoming models of eco-cultural tourism, empowering youth, and integrating tradition with modern strategies. Early results include increased homestay revenues, growth of MSMEs, and the revival of cultural events, demonstrating that asset-based planning coupled with targeted capacity building can yield sustainable outcomes. The findings underscore the value of combining diagnostic (SWOT) and forward-looking (SOAR) frameworks to guide community-based tourism development and offer practical insights for policymakers and practitioners aiming to foster inclusive growth, cultural preservation, and ecological resilience.
