Book Description
This book is a small part of the research results with the theme of cultural-based community empowerment in the tourism context. This research was conducted at Harapan Island and Kelapa Dua Island. Both islands are part of the Kepulauan National Park. These two islands were chosen as research locations because the islands have a community with a distinctive culture, namely the “Pulo” Community (on Bugis Island) and the Bugis Community (on Kelapa Dua Island). This research was conducted to identify whether tourism development in the Kepulauan Seribu National Park could provide economic benefits for the people of the two islands. In addition, this study was also conducted to identify the effect of community involvement in tourism on people’s perceptions regarding the economic impact they feel. The aspect of community involvement is important to study because many researchers say that one of the factors that can increase the acceptance of benefits by the community is by being involved in its activities. This is important so that all relevant stakeholders can design the approriate strategy in increasing the economic benefits that can be received by local communities from tourism development that occurs in their area. This book consists of 6 chapters consisting of an introductory chapter; a research methods chapter; a chapter on literature review related to community empowerment and tourism development; a chapter explaining the general condition of the research location, a chapter on results and discussion, and a conclusion chapter.
