The number of street-food grows rapidly along with the flow of massive migrants into Bandung City. In accordance, the easy access into the city allows tourism industries to thrive largely and encourage people to have spots to escape from daily routines. By offering the diversity, the industry can persuade tourists to discover hidden gems of the city and present it as a valued object or leisure activity. This paper suggests the informal life of street vending that represents open, humble, and modest value, becoming a potency to fulfill tourism needs. This paper brings forward a finding gained from an ethnographic research on street vending activities in Bandung. At the end, this writing tries to contribute to a perspective toward street-food, as an economic activity phenomenon, in the realm of the tourism industry.

Meals are always part of the traveling experience. Indonesia’s tourism is blooming and developing the culinary tourism market. As the visitor encounters food every day, can a visitor experience the local culture and place through savoring the local dishes? This paper will study the opportunities in Indonesia in developing the culinary tourism as managed by local people. The discussion in this paper will put a focus on the potency of culinary tourism to support local economies and industries and ways to preserve them.

Informality has been, in one way, an urban economic issue and, on the other hand, a unique urban living in Indonesia, a potential for tourist attraction. The attraction to some extent emerges as the result of a continuous and dynamic process of spatial formation and reformation of the informal sectors and street vending activities, wherein customers and observers are part of the process itself. Utilizing N. J. Habraken’s theory, “The Structure of the Ordinary,” as a framework, this paper explores the way territorializing of the street vendors takes place. The case observed is the street vendor activities, particularly for the culinary and secondhand book stalls, along one of the popular streets in the heart of Bandung City, the Cikapundung Street.

This paper aims to provide a different view of public space and its potential as creative tourism resources. Public spaces here are seen as ‘ephemeral event space’ which is creatively created by the public in a physical place at a certain time. Pasar kaget at Sunda Kelapa mosque was used as a primary case in this paper. I identified how the authority in Sunda Kelapa mosque gives access to a particular member of local communities, so they can insert additional value to the place by transforming the mosque’s sterile courtyard into goods and food markets that are always crowded with visitors. I argue that what was done by the authority and community in Sunda Kelapa mosque could be explored further to develop the idea of using public space as a resource for establishing a creative strategy for creative tourism.

This article aims to describe the dwelling transformations as residents’ creative efforts in response to tourism development in Pantai Kartini, as part of tourism impact on the residential buildings. This study takes two zones as a study location, namely, zone A (the dwellings which are close to Pantai Kartini) and zone B (the dwellings which are a bit far (± 500 m) from the Pantai Kartini tourist area). The dwelling transformation includes the change of dwelling function in the tourist facility, the change of dwelling material from semipermanent to permanent, and the change of the vernacular architectural style into a modern architectural style. The result shows that the connection and ease of access between the dwelling and tourist area have supported various creativities in zone A.

This paper is an initial attempt to explore the problematic transformative issues of a rural-urban interface within the topics of dwelling and tourism. Distinctively, this paper is a study about peri-urban dwelling in the indigenous settlement with religious tourism potentials. The method used is a comparative analysis of the placemaking during religious events and everyday use of space as an indigenous settlement on ritual and space structure. Using a case study approach, in Kampung Mahmud, this paper highlights how religious tourism activities take place in an indigenous settlement. Peri-urban village with religious and agricultural livelihood such as Kampung Mahmud has unique values associated with the habit or custom local settlements.

In the Philippines, tangible heritage is primarily composed of churches and houses called “Bahay Na Bato” (stone house). Sturdiness aided in preserving many of these structures; nevertheless, a number of their predecessor domestic architectures, made of light vernacular materials, called the “Bahay Kubo” (nipa house) still exist. A case in point is the Mabini House, now aptly addressed as the Mabini Shrine, in fitting reverence for a Philippine hero. For various reasons, the Shrine was relocated thrice, last of which was to the campus of the Polytechnic University of the Philippines. The study showed the viability of campus tourism through coexistence of learning institution and heritage destination.

The Order of Preachers founded the University of Santo Tomas in 1611 in Intramuros, Walled City of Manila. The campus covers an area of 21.5 ha in Sampaloc, Manila. Since its establishment, the university has experienced an increase of enrollment in such a way that in 1927 it was moved from Intramuros to its present site covering an area of 21.5 ha in the district of Sampaloc, Manila. The university has a very important role in the society because of the presence of a university hospital which caters not only the immediate environments. Its sphere of influence is extended nationwide. The unique nature of the university entails variable users, such as students, administrators, faculty, and the staff with regard to the hospital, the medical staff, patients and visitors, and church parishioners. The study utilized the principle of the second man by Edmund Bacon in analyzing the existing structures and elements in the campus. It gives projection on the possible future of how natural heritage and the value of its placemaking sustain and be a major tourist destination.

The paper discusses the case of an urban-rural development phenomenon in Ciburial Village, Bandung, Indonesia, where the spreading trend of art galleries and cafés in the area triggered the emergence of communal and leisure facilities and communal events attractive for tourism. The study explores the emergence of art spaces and cafés along Bukit Pakar Timur Street, in Ciburial Village, Bandung District, and the role of “Selasar Sunaryo Art Space” (SSAS) on the trend discussed. The paper discusses the combination of contemporary art galleries trend, the existing local activities, and the authentic rural setting of Ciburial Village and their role in triggering Creative Tourism. It also suggests that the absence of deliberate planning strategies is going to risk the natural placemaking itself.

This paper brings forward the case of the transformation of an archaeological heritage, Sangliat Dol Village, to become one of the tourist attractions in Tanimbar Island, Maluku, Indonesia. The placemaking concept is applied for planning the zoning for the village and the preservation as the main attraction. The internal and external stakeholders’ agreements to designate Tanimbar as a national tourist destination will support economic and cultural proliferation, with education as the empowering tool for local people. The master plan utilizes the zoning concept as guidelines for spatial design, such as visitor center, and the preserved cultural heritage attractions.

This paper describes the participatory planning and design process in Sangliat Dol village. The village has an archaeological heritage that becomes the main tourist attraction of the Tanimbar Islands. The intention of community involvement in the design process was to prevent conflict between the proposed masterplan of the village and the aspirations of the residents. This phase is an important part of the sustainable development, as the local residents are expected to become the integral part of the tourism economy scheme of the village. The problem that appeared is that the local residents understand the value and the attractiveness of the ancient stone boat in the village but have less idea about how to manage it.

Using the participant observation method, we identified characteristics of the Sundanese cultural landscape with the aim to support tourism planning in the sacred site Kampung Budaya Sindang Barang (KBSB). Ecological and cultural information was qualitatively analyzed and elaborated in a site plan of cultural tourism with the aim to increase the attractiveness of the cultural tourism landscape. Findings showed that KBSB had been planned based on ecological aspects that were closely related to the distribution of historical and cultural properties that strengthen the sacredness of KBSB. Zoning into three basic zones (core, buffer, and development zone) was applied to accommodate visitors’ needs and to maintain tourism resources within KBSB. In particular, sacred places around KBSB were linked in a tourism route to understanding the sequence of the creation history of KBSB. Some supporting facilities with high cultural value were proposed to enhance the attractiveness of KBSB. We concluded that Sundanese culture provides important information for planning a creative cultural tourism landscape since it optimizes ecological resources in combination with cultural values.

Tourism in Bali has been actively promoted by the state and referred to as a success model of cultural tourism. Tourism has stimulated the interest of the Balinese for their cultural traditions, and the admiration of visitors for Balinese culture has reinforced the sense of identity and pride in being Balinese. The recent development of traditional village exposing their culture, customs, and heritage has introduced a new approach to the exploration of Balinese cultural tourism. Pengotan, the traditional Bali Aga village, depicted the collaboration of local communities with tourism entrepreneurs in developing creative tourism that keeps traditional sociocultural life in harmony.

Experiential tourism is an outgrowth of a global movement toward experiential learning, whereby people create meaning through direct experience. This is emerging as a concept to not only preserve cultural landscapes but also as a means for the sustainable development of such regions. This paper discusses the Banni Region, Kutch in Gujarat, India, and analyzes the many interventions which have gone into the enriching of the place through the preservation of its architecture, traditions, and handicrafts.

The contradicting impacts of tourism on culture have been well recognized. It nourishes traditions as well as encourages creative culture on one hand, but often destructive to the prolonged existence of cultural heritage on the other hand. The latter is especially true when tourism grows without regulatory enforcement, and when it favors short-term monetary gains, rather than sticking to long-term and sustainable objectives. Taking this circumstance into a discussion, this article investigates the rampant depletion of culturally strategic green open space (GOS) in Bali to provide rooms for tourism-related activities. It especially studies the consequences of this situation and how to enable protection of cultural heritages as well as how to maintain creative cultures – the two inherent resources for the survival of Bali’s tourism. This paper is structured into three main sections. It first discusses the complexity of GOS and their significances. Second, it examines the process of deculturalization caused by prevalent conversions of such spaces, while the last section studies the impacts the whole situation brings to the longevity of both culture and tourism development on the Island.

Traditional bale banjar (community center) for the Balinese community is an important place for performing obligatory ritual activities. However, the tourism industry has caused some adjustments to its spatial usage. Economic and institutional functions are now placed in bale banjar adat (traditional community center) to accommodate growing demand for non-ritual activities in public life. This paper describes the implication of activity change: from traditional to modern, and the commodification process of culture as an impact of tourist activities. The discussion will illustrate the formation of a public place within a recognized communal space.

This paper intends to bring the readers’ attention to the multidimensional impacts of the Sail Komodo event to the development of Komodo District. Indonesia is a developing archipelagical nation with many rural and underdeveloped areas. Seeing the optimism of international tourism’s role as a local economy and development booster, the Indonesian government has chosen a few potential rural and underdeveloped areas to become new tourism destinations. Komodo District is one of the few chosen ones, and an international yacht-sailing event was held in 2013 throughout the province with the name of Sail Komodo.Literature study and also personal observation were done to accumulate a grounded knowledge and discussions about tourism development, tourism event, tourism impacts, and other premises, as well as perspective on the real conditions and issues in the designated region after the event took place. The analysis and discussion are expected to yield a review on matters of tourism impacts environmentally, socially, and economic-wise.

Orienting its discussion on the unique spatial and architectural attributes of Bugbug, Perasi, and Seraya, three native settlements of Bali, this article confers about various interruptions brought by the lease of huge communal and privately owned land of these three villages by international corporations. Such corporate move aims at constructing the area into coastal-based developed center to accommodate various uses pertaining to tourism, sometime shortly. The paper, in particular, discusses the impact of such action on distinctive spatial structures and distinguished values inherent to the architecture of these three settlements. The study finding shows that each community experiences a different degree of effects, both in scale and type. This condition has enabled this paper to build a comparative analysis questioning how this dissimilarity comes to the surface, as well as demonstrating typology of impacts caused by the transfer of rights over land on the spatial formation of Bugbug, Perasi, and Seraya villages. This whole study is approached using hermeneutic approaches.

Using the case of Tenganan Pegringsingan village, this paper attempts to advocate that aside from its positive impacts, creative tourism has a possibility to damage a living culture and its heritage if improperly managed. The commodification of tangible and intangible heritage as tourism products is the earliest damage that could be noticed. Therefore, in order to mitigate a greater loss of original values and heritage in tourism destinations, there is a need for a more holistic understanding of creative tourism in heritage sites through the discussion of both its positive and negative impacts.

Tourism has major, economic, social, and environmental impacts. It is one of the significant economic sectors in Indonesia. Tourism can give a great contribution to improving the living standard of the local community. But, without a sustainable planning and management, it would turn merely into “staging tourism,” wherein the program would be more like a zoo or a museum. Mass tourism, in many ways, has affected the local culture in Indonesia, such as the culture and the traditional built environment. Many traditional villages are transformed into urban environments, including cultural heritage villages when it becomes Desa Wisata. What creative ways can be worked on to maintain sustainable tourist villages? This architectural research is done to some lessons learned from some tourist villages in Java, Indonesia. It incorporated literature studies and field observation. The study gave an indication that tourist villages in Indonesia are unsustainable and need creative ways to maintain their local wisdom wisely.

The dynamic movement of tourism around Bandung has shown a big hit in various sectors. In order to maintain the sustainability of tourism in Bandung, it is important to create a systematic community participation program to promote and to manage the tourism potential in the city. This research is aimed to understand the readiness of the local communities to support the potential tourism around Bandung. This study investigates the local communities in five different areas around the Bandung Regency and derives from them the situation of the current community participation to propose recommendation for future program in each area.

Agritourism, which is an integration of agriculture and tourism activities, is often regarded as the main strategy for rural development. The concept itself seems promising in addition to numerous success stories of agritourism implementation in some cities in Indonesia (e.g., Malang City, Bogor City, Yogyakarta City, in Indonesia). However, there is no guarantee that the implementation of agritourism in other cities would yield the same level of success. Despite the difference in agriculture potential, there exist missing links in agritourism development which for many cases turn out to be the reason of failure. These missing links were discovered during the process of Rural Development and Planning Evaluation Project, which was conducted in 4 months, covering rural areas in Kalimantan. In this paper, the missing links in agritourism development are a lesson learned gained from an evaluation project that serves as a basis to draw recommendation on how to restore the link of this missing links. The elaboration is conducted in a qualitative approach, focusing on cases from two rural areas in Kalimantan.

Awareness about the limited number of natural resources triggers Indonesian architects to use bamboo as the main green building material. It has been evident that the use of bamboo in architecture produces unique forms and eco-friendly constructions. This is potential as a tourist attraction. Living in bamboo-based constructions brings distinct meaning and sensation, depending on the variation of place and sociocultural context of the community. The use of phenomenological method in this study is intended to explore ways architects utilize bamboo in their construction and how the local community is engaged in its habitation. Subjects of this study are the architects who apply bamboo-based construction in Ubud, Bali, and Tentena, Poso, Central Sulawesi. The exploration of the sensory experience of the people living in the bamboo-based construction will be expected to unravel their distinct nature of spatial experience.

Mass tourism has been an aspect that victimizes Balinese culture. Bali is undergoing a crisis of identity that, without any active prevention, cultural alienation would soon take place. The major development of tourism facilities has made architecture become one of responsible agents on this issue. By discussing an architectural concept of a local architect - Yoka Sara, this paper tries to offer an alternative insight about how a transmission of indigenous value into contemporary form can be done without damaging the value. More than just basic architectural techniques of design, in his architectural design, Yoka Sara always urges to transform the spirit of place through a narrative of space, which contains sequence, symbols, and spatial experiences. He always thrives to convert the local cosmic essence into the architectural space. Multiplicity is his philosophical standpoint with regard to how architecture as space relates to reality, with which the essential containment of dynamic intermingling in a fluid event of experiences is translated into the narrative of space. This paper tries to elaborate his design case in Kayu AgaVilla a tourist area in Canggu region, Bali, Indonesia.

Accessible tourism is where the tourist destinations and facilities provided by the host country or place are barrier-free to all users especially persons with disabilities (PWDs). Kuala Lumpur (KL) being a developing city is still working on providing seamless mobility and improvement on the accessibility to the PWDs when they travel especially after being declared to be barrier-free city in 2010. This study aims to investigate the provision and the quality of facilities accessible by the PWDs in the selected tourist attraction buildings in the city of KL.

As tourism makes everyday life in historical cities difficult, the issue rises around the argument for eventual visions of development to enable the community living and tourism to maintain the position of a key economic factor. Based on the case study of the Adriatic city of Zadar, this paper proposes the identification of four spatial aspects within which an action-based expertise would be needed as to establish a new creative strategy for the development of sustainable tourism. Expertise should activate all stakeholders across the social spectrum, from local university experts to NGOs.

The cultural heritage protection and management in Indonesia has been experiencing many challenges, obstacles, and changes from a century. This paper discusses the legal aspects of cultural heritage management and protection in Indonesia based on the current heritage legislations as well as its relevancies with the international instruments issued within the same period. The study relied on a literature review highlights that the current heritage legislations still have many loopholes and unparalleled to the heritage trends at a global level. Alsothe current issues in heritage protection and management have become more complex and unintegrated with a development plan.

As a favorite tourist destination known by its panoramic view, weather, and colonial architecture, Bandung has developed its tourism as a heritage tourism area. Villa and Non-Villa District around Gedung Sate and Riau Street is planned in Garden City concept. They are an example of heritage tourism and in this paper are used as case study. Nevertheless, the tourism also brought negative impact to the urban quality and environment character. This preliminary study explores strategies to reduce the negative impact. By analyzing the historical and typological significance of the buildings and environment, this paper would like to explore the gap between the historical development of the city and the planning regulations that make up current physical condition. This study is useful to lay a base in developing a detailed planning regulation in cultural heritage tourism areas.

The topic in this paper discusses the management of Subak Sembung of Kota Denpasar as a significant cultural landscape in Bali. It examines several determining factors to its sustainability, including (1) physical elements and value system underlining the management of this distinctive irrigation system unique to the island, (2) managerial and the organization of the Subak including parties involved in the process of exercising its function, and (3) determining factors for the conservation of Subak Sembung as a destination for ecotourism in Denpasar. Using phenomenological approaches, this article discusses Subak as a social organization that determines the formation of a specific territory contributing to the creation of a distinctive cultural landscape. Study findings show that unlike the case of other Subak of Kota Denpasar, many spatial elements of Subak Sembung have been kept unchanged for centuries. This circumstance has specifically been aspired by a firm belief the krama Subak Sembung have in their association as part of culture and traditions to be consciously conserved on a daily basis.

Batik has been defined as a traditional cloth and the way of making cloth. This paper focuses on the second definition by exploring the co-creation process in creative tourism of batik and the impact of this tourist experience on tourism experiences and suppliers and the value of batik. This exploration is based on the case study research in Pekalongan, the member of the Creative Cities Network by UNESCO. This study found that regarding experience, the tourists interactively learn about batik guided by local artists. Additionally, they have a chance to apply traditional equipment of batik. In the end, the visitors can experience the authenticity of batik, effort in conserving batik, as well as learn the culture and identity of this city. This tourist activity can add the value of batik, not only as a traditional cloth but also as a memorable experience for visitors. Additionally, the artisan will shift their perspective on visitors, from an outsider who buys their products into a partner in making a unique/memorable experience.

Karo of the North Sumatra known as part of many tribes in Indonesia has a rich variety of arts and cultures. Among them is a unique jewelry named padung-padung. Padung-padung is a kind of earrings with an admirably large size and weighing about 1.5–2 kg, representing woman status in Karo society in the past. Despite its simplicity, padung-padung contain philosophy meaning that enriches the custom and tradition of Karo tribe in North Sumatera. Today, padung-padung has not even once ever been used; in fact, many Karo people especially their youngsters do not even recognize it. This research aims to acknowledge its future potent role especially from the aesthetic aspects as a preference of souvenir product design development and can be designed as part of tourism activities, notably cultural tourism in North Sumatera. Qualitative research will be conducted to describe it and analyze its result, accompanied by tourism theories and hermeneutic approach.

As a form of home, palaces (puris) in Bali possess unique architectural qualities, representing history in the function of a specific form of the building. These palaces are among the largest forms of architectural expression and are highly respected for their aesthetic and decorative elements. Historically, this form of domestic accommodation, specific to members of monarchic families and their associates, now finds themselves struggling to meet the cost of routine maintenance. On this basis, Bali’s reputation as the major center for tourism development in Indonesia encourages puri to make necessary adaptations. Thus in consequence, on the one hand, income is generated to support the survival of palaces. On the other, it modifies both the spatial and the architectural formations of puri. This paper suggests a proposition that the puri must not accommodate and adapt to global changes without conserving its architectural legacies at once. The paper presents variations of the architectural characters in specific puris and the changes that take place to respond to tourism.

The Musi Riverside is surrounded by historically tourism districts, like Sultan Mahmud Badaruddin (SMB) Museum, Benteng Kuto Besak (BKB), Monpera, and 16 Ilir Market. This site is under Ampera Bridge and SMB Plaza which has potential pedestrian movement, but this area has urban issues, traffic congestion, slump area, and underdeveloped district. The goal of this study is to reevaluate the development of design strategy for urban creative tourism by experimenting agent-based modeling. The development of design strategy itself is to facilitate pedestrian movement in design tourism facility, public facility, and hub facility based on movement circulation of local and tourist pedestrians. Pedestrian flow reveals the use of space, capacity, accessibility, and density flow which describes movement patterns of pedestrians. This goal project is to analyze urban tourism planning configurations and to give designers and decision-makers a tool to measure the amount of walking in neighborhoods.

Based on a perspective that creating a themed experience can strengthen the distinctiveness of a consumer destination and thereby attract tourists through purposeful interactions, this paper concentrates upon the theoretical model of creating a themed experience. The paper examines the visiting experience displayed on social media within the proposed theoretical structure, through an innovative approach, which combines content analysis with image analysis. The case studies are conducted in two Chinese “consumer destinations.” The findings enhance the understanding of visitor experiences and improve the process of creating a themed experience.

This paper is presenting a research which aimed to create walking trail model along Dago Pojok. Dago Pojok used to be a high-density settlement in Bandung and now has transformed into a creative urban village, potentially developed as a tourist destination. However, the attractions have not demonstrated a well-connected system. It is difficult for an individual tourist to comprehend the destination without consulting the management. The walking trail is planned to create a system that connects the attractions and facilitate the visitors and tourists. This research is done using a qualitative approach, through interview and observation for data collection. The research results in a walking trail model map, done using Arc GIS software, and illustration design for facilities, using SketchUp. The walking trail model will divide the village into seven zones representing different attractions, and the facility design will help the tourists with amenities during their visits in Dago Pojok.

Among the various types of tourism and recreational waterfronts in Jakarta, Ancol sandy beach area is still a favored destination. Given the limitations such as lack of supporting facilities and sanitation, this area is still full of visitors since the absence of similar tourism and recreational areas in Jakarta. The development plan for land reclamation on the north side of Jakarta city offers a good opportunity as an alternative waterfront tourist destination area. This is where the role of Jakarta Provincial Government is necessary in order to ensure proper and inclusive public sandy beach recreational areas in North Jakarta Reclamation Area.
