Tourism Through Local Eyes: A Potential Assessment of Danawan Lake

Tourism bridges different aspects together. It depends most of its assets on the abundance of nature. This study was conducted in Danawan Lake, located at Sitio Darayaw, Panaytayan, Mansalay, Oriental Mindoro. This study, in partnership with the local government unit, is focused on the potential assessment of Danawan, a mountain lake, with a specific lens on gauging community perception when it comes to tourism development. Aside from the physical attributes of a destination, community participation in tourism development is very important as it will dictate its sustainability. This ethnographic study employed a qualitative approach from SWOT analysis through observation, mapping, and personal interviews. The results showed that Danawan Lake has potential for adventure and ecotourism, but its sustainable development requires careful consideration of both strengths and weaknesses, opportunities, and threats. The indigenous community living near the lake has signified their acceptance of tourism activities and development in the area if advanced communication is considered. Collaboration and inclusivity should be at hand to attain the desired goals reflecting that the community considers the lake sacred. Future researchers may use other alternative potential assessment tools to gain more in-depth findings.

Pemerintah Daerah dalam Dinamika Perekonomian Masyarakat: Perspektif Hukum dan Sosiologi

This research highlights the long-term impact of economic events such as the 1990 crisis and the impact of the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasising the important role of government and community participation in managing an economy that still lacks synergy. This research aims to provide a better understanding of the role of local government in the economic dynamics of the community as well as the importance of community participation in economic development. The research method used is a document study with a qualitative approach. Data was obtained from various sources, including relevant laws and regulations, journals and reports. The qualitative approach allows an in-depth understanding of individual views on the issue under study. Local governments have great authority in managing economic resources in their regions, including budget management and development infrastructure, in accordance with Law No. 9/2015 on the Second Amendment to Law No. 23/2014 on Regional Government. However, local government intervention in the economy can also create new dynamics in the social structure and affect the distribution of wealth. Prudent economic policies from the government play a crucial role in economic development, through the creation of policies that support investment, incentives for the development of small and medium enterprises, and the provision of infrastructure that supports economic growth in the region. The importance of community participation and the implementation of policies that support regional autonomy are key to building an inclusive and sustainable economy.

“It is my place”: residents’ community-based psychological ownership and its impact on rural tourism participation

The participation of residents plays a crucial role in achieving sustainable development of tourism in rural community. This study proposes a novel concept, namely community-based psychological ownership (C-PO) and examines its dimensionality and association with community participation in rural tourism. The scale of C-PO was developed through 4 stages. In Stage 1, initial item pool with 25 items is generated based on a qualitative study from Shangchengdai and Dachen Village in Zhejiang, China. Through Stage 2 and Stage 3, a 23-item six-dimensional scale is confirmed using data collected in two on-site surveys (n = 93, n = 416) at Maoyang Township, Zhejiang. In Study 4, using survey data (n = 485) collected from Heyang Village and Maoyang Township, Zhejiang, the relationships between C-PO and community participation in rural tourism development are examined. The results indicate that self-identity, self-efficacy, community responsibility and community belongingness have positive effects on community participation, while community possession and territoriality have a non-significant and negative impact, respectively. Recommendations are provided for better encouraging community participation in tourism development by managing residents’ psychological ownership towards their communities.

Participatory evaluation: Generating community in a gentrified territory

ABSTRACT The process of gentrification encompasses numerous social, demographic, urbanistic, and economic consequences, among others. The majority of these outcomes are negative and demonstrate little consideration for the community and the territory in which they transpire. This paper presents a case study of a community project in a gentrified area of Palma (Balearic Islands – Spain), aimed at mitigating these consequences through community organization and empowerment. The article seeks to assess the subjective impact of the Intercultural Community Intervention Project and explore barriers to promoting participatory community development in gentrified locales. Findings indicate improvements incommunity networks and its responsiveness to social challenges, yet underscore difficulties in engaging the higher socio-economic status population . Another concern is the need for a technical team to sustain the community-driven process. In conclusion, community policies are recommended to empower the populace in addressing the social repercussions of gentrification by fostering spaces for participation and facilitating shared decision-making.

Innovations in Sustainabilty Business Models – Toward Development for Peace in Conflict-affected Zones in the Philippines

The proposed business model (also termed herein as the Business Sustainability Framework) presents strategies for agribusiness and approaches to restoring the forests and watersheds that were initiated in the Province of Bukidnon in Northern Mindanao, Philippines. It is believed that the framework deserves merit for replication in other conflict-affected zones. This study aimed to conceptualize and document a holistic and collaborative approach taken to develop a model for an inclusive and sustainable business practice that can ensure food security and support livelihoods of the Indigenous People (First Nations) of Bukidnon, many of whom are smallholder farmers, while augmenting environmental resilience. The methodology applied for developing the model in Bukidnon utilized various strategies namely, social preparation, community organizing, participatory community development planning, as well as study tours and cross learning programs for farmers from the Bangsamoro to model sites in Bukidnon. The results of these strategies demonstrated that the key components of the framework, namely securing availability of food (i.e., adequate and nutritious food on the table), livelihood opportunities (i.e., through the production of cash crops for sale to generate sustainable disposable income), and reforestation of degraded forests and watersheds (i.e., maintaining the integrity of the ecosystem and adequacy of water supply) can be pursued effectively through a more participatory collaboration between corporations and communities. This paper emphasizes that the creation of food security and livelihood opportunities, alongside inclusive community development and the promotion of ethics and values formation, is urgent given the pressing need for the newly-established government in the Bangsamoro Autonomous Region in Muslim Mindanao (or BARMM) to deliver the much needed dividends of peace through inclusive and equitable partnerships between companies and communities. Based on the promising outcomes and results in Bukidnon, it is believed that the replication of the framework in the conflict-affected Bangsamoro region can lead to sustainable agribusiness economic models and help bring equity and social justice, and enhance environmental sustainability. The study recommends that the authorities give special consideration to the promotion of the proposed model in the Bangsamoro.
