PENGELOLAAN KOLEKSI MUSEUM MUSIK INDONESIA BERBASIS APLIKASI OPEN SOURCE

The Indonesian Music Museum stores various music collections in the form of cassettes, compact discs, vinyl records, and music-related books. This self-managed museum has the potential to become an institution that stores musical works from various countries. Management has been carried out properly, starting from inventory of collections to registration, but still manually. The implementation of the Senayan Library Management System (SLiMS), which is an open source based application, is one solution for managing collections more quickly and making it possible to access them remotely. The method used in this research is a qualitative study using observations and interviews so that it can produce an appropriate management system for the museum. The main informants are museum managers who are considered to understand the metadata needs of their museum collections. All results of observations and interviews are used as guidelines in determining any changes to the applications used to manage collections at the Indonesian Music Museum. This research produces an open source application-based museum collection inventory system. Several changes and adjustments were made to this application so that it could be implemented in the museum. Terms referring to library collections were changed and adapted to the use of terms relevant to music collections. The grouping of collections based on music genres and artists' regions of origin which is usually carried out by the museum is still maintained to become the characteristic of this museum itself. The Indonesian Music Museum can implement this application in a sustainable and long-term manner. Using this system helps the museum to obtain data records of collections and their movements, as well as inventory data on collections currently owned.

Key Determinants of Visitor Satisfaction and Post- Visit Intentions at a Museum in the Kruger National Park, South Africa

Museums preserve and present valued historical artifacts, information, and displays to an information-hungry tourism market. As such, they play a crucial role in the tourism industry, serving as pertinent leisure attractions in many destinations. It is therefore important for management to identify the key determinants that lead to tourist satisfaction and to tourists’ intention to return in future. This knowledge could assist management in making the informed strategic decisions for sustaining such attractions. Very little research has been conducted on this aspect in terms of museums in South Africa, leaving numerous unanswered questions about tourists’ experiences, the perceived quality of sites and tourists’ satisfaction with sites, which ultimately impact their intention to return. A quantitative survey was conducted at the Stevenson-Hamilton Knowledge Resource Centre and Museum (Skukuza Museum) in the Kruger National Park, where a total of 164 responses were obtained. Eight hypotheses were formulated and tested by utilizing Spearman’s correlation, investigating visitor expectations, experience, perceived quality, satisfaction, pleasure, confirmation and visitor intent. The results confirm the hypothesis that when tourists’ expectations are met, they experience a positive service experience and perceive the high quality. When tourists derive pleasure and satisfaction from the visit, they usually commit to a follow-up visit. The results of this study provide a basis for museum management, public sector visitor attractions, employees and academia to further develop these museums as successful visitor attractions.

Measuring the relationship between museum attributes and visitors: An application of topic model on museum online reviews.

In recent years, cultural tourism has increasingly embraced museum visits. Museums serve as both cultural heritage guardians and integral parts of tourist destinations, significantly impacting visitor satisfaction and experience. Moreover, online museum reviews have become a crucial indicator of museum service quality, visitor experience, and public feedback in the digital age. An analysis of online reviews on major tourism websites and social media platforms can assist museums in developing appropriate management strategies. This study employed the structural topic model (STM) to analyze online museum reviews, identifying three primary attributes of museums and visitors' personal experiences, as well as 19 sub-attributes. The study confirmed that core offerings have a positive impact on visitor experience and satisfaction, while peripheral services and overall ambiance are also positively related to visitor experience and satisfaction. Furthermore, the results of structural equation modeling demonstrated that visitors' personal experiences have a positive impact on satisfaction. The results of structural equation modeling analysis support all seven hypothesized relationships. These findings will assist museum managers in developing effective management strategies and future plans.

Preserving cultural narratives: the quest for museum archives in the Netherlands

The current situation in Dutch museum archives is heavily influenced by developments in the museum sector in recent decades. The privatization of Dutch museums in the 1990s and the subsequent variations in legal character among these institutions has resulted in inconsistent management structures and inexplicit legal obligations, which have slowed the development of a cohesive approach to the management of museum archives in the Netherlands. Research conducted by Roosmarijn Ubink into the current state of information and archive management in the Dutch museum sector has revealed a structural lack of resources and frameworks for the management of museums’ institutional archives. Beginning in 2022, museum archivists and information professionals in the Netherlands have come together to respond to this situation.

Social inequality determines science museums attendance in Latin America: a quantitative analysis of data from seven countries

ABSTRACT This paper examines cultural engagement with science in Latin America based on probabilistic models derived from quantitative data gathered on public perceptions of science. We explore the influence of social stratification and contextual factors -gender, age, education, socioeconomic level, and interest in science, among others- on visiting science museums in Argentina, Brazil, Chile, El Salvador, Mexico, Panama, and Paraguay. The data suggest that museum attendance is subject to the same social determinants affecting other cultural practices. The position individuals occupy in society mediates their opportunities and subjective dispositions. Cultural participation in science is stratified by social inequalities, marginalizing the most unprotected social classes: citizens with lower levels of education and income, the elderly, women, and people living outside large cities and urban areas. This evidence challenges the management and communication of science museums: Inequalities question participatory democracy efforts and transform cultural engagement into a matter of equity and social justice.
