Abstract

This study examines Community Based Tourism in Tarubatang Village, a settlement
located within the buffer zone of Mount Merbabu National Park in Boyolali
Regency, Central Java. The research addresses two questions. The first concerns
the level at which the local community participates in tourism governance across
the stages of planning, development, and management. The second concerns the
impact of tourism activities upon the community across the economic, social,
cultural, environmental, and political dimensions. The study employs a qualitative
descriptive design drawing on semi structured interviews with six informants
representing four stakeholder categories, namely local residents, a volunteer
ranger, a basecamp operator, the village government, and the Mount Merbabu
National Park Authority. The findings indicate that community participation falls
predominantly within the tokenism range across all three governance stages, with
substantial operational engagement combined with the structural absence of
decisional authority. Across the five impact dimensions, the substantive promise of
Community Based Tourism is most fully realised in the cultural domain, partially
realised in the economic, social, and environmental domains, and largely
unrealised in the political domain. Documentation of the fourteen basecamps
operating in Dusun Genting further reveals a within basecamp distributive pattern
in which visitor traffic and revenue concentrate at better equipped operators. The
level of participation, in other words, conditions the dimensions of impact. The
substantive realisation of Community Based Tourism in Tarubatang Village
requires the institutional reconfiguration of authority such that the community
holds decisional rights commensurate with its operational contributions.
