Analysis of Potential Scenarios for Sustainability of Tourism Villages in Bongkasa Village

A tourist village is a regional development model based on local potential, aimed at improving the welfare of rural communities through the tourism sector. The existence of tourist villages responds to the need for economic diversification in rural areas and the preservation of rural culture and environment. This research is a quantitative study where the data is initially collected qualitatively, then quantified for further processing. This approach allows the researcher to gather data from various sources to answer the research questions. To analyze the sustainability of the tourist village, the MICMAC and MULTIPOL methods are used. The MICMAC method in this study is applied to identify and map the key or crucial variables that influence the sustainability of the tourist village system and to understand the structure of relationships between variables. Meanwhile, the MULTIPOL analysis is used to evaluate alternative policies based on sustainability criteria in a holistic manner, involving relevant stakeholders. Data collection was conducted through structured interviews with 30 respondents and a Focus Group Discussion (FGD) with 13 participants. The results show that 1) MICMAC analysis indicates that the crucial variables affecting the sustainability of the Bongkasa Tourist Village are attractiveness, accessibility, income, and, most importantly, the commitment of the local community. 2) The sustainability analysis of the Bongkasa Tourist Village, using the MULTIPOL method, reveals two scenarios: Community-Based Tourism (CBT) and Collaborative Governance.
