This study aims to explore and analyze the mechanisms of participatory communication in community-based tourism development, with a focus on strengthening community participation and understanding the dynamics of communication in community-based tourism development in Jatiluwih Tourism Village. The study employs a descriptive qualitative approach, using purposive sampling techniques. Jatiluwih Tourism Village was selected due to its status as a UNESCO World Cultural Heritage Site since 2012 and its significant potential for community-based tourism development, despite the community participation remaining suboptimal. Key informants include community leaders, tourism village managers, and community members directly involved in managing tourism based on local wisdom. Primary data were collected through observation and in-depth interviews, while secondary data were obtained from relevant documents and reports. Data validity was ensured through triangulation by comparing interview results, observations, and documents. The findings reveal that participatory communication—through access, voice, and control—plays a crucial role in the development of community-based tourism in Jatiluwih Tourism Village. While it has had positive impacts, gaps in control highlight the need for more inclusive mechanisms to ensure equitable community participation. This study underscores the importance of applying participatory communication to realize inclusive and sustainable community-based tourism.    

This study aims to assess how the development and tourism potential of Parepare City are perceived by the local community. Using a mixed-method approach (qualitative and quantitative), this research analyzes five main components (A5): Attraction, Amenities, Ancillary Services, Activities, and Accessibility, utilizing the Weighted Analysis technique (Likert Scale) to provide a structured evaluation. The findings indicate that public perceptions of tourism development vary. Artificial attractions received high ratings and are considered a key strength. Regarding amenities, the availability of places of worship was rated as the most adequate. However, in ancillary services, facilities such as clean water, electricity, and culinary services still require improvement. In terms of activities, events like festivals and recreational activities were deemed to be suboptimal in terms of implementation, management, and the involvement of local SMEs. Meanwhile, in the accessibility component, institutions such as Pokdarwis have not been effectively implemented. Therefore, a development strategy is needed that actively involves the community through training and empowerment, as well as continuous support from the government. Infrastructure improvement and regular evaluations are essential steps to enhance tourist interest in visiting Parepare City.

Community-based tourism is a form of tourism development managed by local communities with the aim of providing direct benefits to the local population. Lubuk Mande Rubiah Subdistrict in Padang City has promising natural tourism potential, yet youth involvement in its development remains limited. This study aims to examine the socialization of the role of Karang Taruna (youth organization) in supporting tourism development in the area. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through field observation and interviews with local youths involved in Karang Taruna. The results indicate that Karang Taruna contributes to managing ticketing, maintaining the cleanliness of the site, and initiating promotional efforts through social media. However, the lack of training and supporting facilities poses significant challenges to fully realizing this potential. The socialization efforts focused on strengthening youth capacity, increasing awareness of tourism promotion, and providing a sample digital product in the form of a promotional video. These findings imply that, with the right approach, Karang Taruna can serve as a driving force in building a sustainable tourism ecosystem rooted in local community participation.   Keywords: , ,

Tourism plays an important role in shaping the economic development of cities and communities. Heritage sites have a major impact on the economy, making an important contribution to economic growth and development. 3D digital conservation, apart from being useful for preserving historical heritage, also functions as promotional media by utilizing the Internet of Things (IoT). By making 3D models of historical heritage objects, apart from preserving cultural heritage sites, they are also used as promotional media to increase tourism and economic benefits for the community. From the results obtained, it can show satisfactory results. The 3D shape created can provide an overview and information about the geometric shape and condition of the heritage building site, which is quite well captured. The hope is that this can provide information and attract tourists to visit the historical site, namely "Mount Wudel" in Jepara. Making 3D models will of course increase their attractiveness and also serve as a medium for digital conservation.
