| Summary: | Dieng tourism resources is a unity between natural resources,
archeological, and community life. These conditions resulted in nearly all
processes of tourism development will affect people's lives, and conversely, any
community activities will also affect tourism. In every aspect of tourism
development needs to involve the community as part of the development impact
activities and receiver. In general, Dieng community work as a potato farmer with
a very high intensity of agriculture and it is sometimes considered by local
governments or tourism business interfere tourism. Various business
opportunities in tourism are not fully utilized by Dieng community. On the other
hand, enthusiastic people to conduct cultural activities as a tourist attraction even
more prominent.
This study aims to understand the Dieng community participation in
tourism development. In this study, the locus of the research is Dieng Kulon and
Dieng Wetan Villages and the people of both villages as a focus of research. The
approach used is phenomenological in-depth interviews with informants and field
observations. Data analysis was done inductively with a qualitative descriptive
method.
The results showed that the Dieng community participation in social and
cultural activities is one of manifestation of �ngaruhake� norm. �Ngaruhake� is
a social norm that aims to maintain harmony within the community scale, but
does not apply to a public scale. Participation based on a moral obligation to
realize the common interests or helping others, not for themselves personally.
Level of participation can be divided into three groups, namely �mokoki� (main
actors), �ngombyongi� (supporting actor), and �masabodoa� (not involved).
Spatially, greater area of space, community participation will be lower and the
other hand, narrow region of space will increase community participation.
Community participation in tourism development is essentially reflected in
the various community activities. Community participation in planning stages
which is based on �ngaruhake� norm done through �rembug warga�, such as
social gathering and meeting residents of the village. In the implementation
phase, public participation embodied in the activities of the performing
traditional arts and customs, communal work, and construction of public
facilities. �Ngaruhake� norm does not apply in business and work activities in
tourism, because these activities tend to be individuals and seek to profit from
other parties. In the implementation of cultural activities, community leaders and
perpetrators of traditional art usually acts as main actors (�mokoki�), and other
components of the community as a supporter (�pengombyong�). In social
activities, public figure and village officials usually acts as main actors
(�mokoki�), while other components of the community as a supporter
(�pengombyong�).
