The Role of Local Communities in Preserving Rawa Bayu Tourism Objects.
Songgon District In terms of preserving the tourism environment in it, the role of the local community is very important to take part in preserving and conserving the cultural heritage in the Rawa Bayu water tourism area.
As for what has been done by the community around the ecotourism to maintain and preserve these historical places, among others:
Establishing the Statute of the Cultural Conservation Area There are at least two plans to establish the In accordance with the Cultural Conservation Law Number 11 in 2010, local governments are required to issue a decree to record several historical sites or objects (Indonesia, 2.
Although this is the domain of the local government, the community around the ecotourism area also has a stake in reporting some of the findings of historical objects which then submit the findings to the caretaker who will be reported to the local government in Banyuwangi Regency.
EISSN 26858436
Then, the next plan is to carry out a design to reduce the threat of damage to historic areas in cultural heritage areas.
The trick is to make a written regulation that has been approved by the surrounding community and the caretaker.
The form of writing is inserted on a board or banner to let visitors know that the area is a historical place.
Designating Several Areas with Separate Territorial Systems to Provide Cultural Conservation Protection One of the things that can be done to preserve some historical places is to provide boundaries in some areas according to the historical objects that are in those places.
The method that can be proposed by the author is with a zoning system that is separated from one historical object site to another, so that each area will have more than one area of its The zoning system can be called The aim is to be able to find out which areas are historical areas in the data collection so that they do not become a destination for destruction by migrants because they do not know that what is being damaged is a historical site.
The stages in reporting the findings of historical objects that can be carried out by the community are as follows.
Surrounding Communities Provide Information to Caretakers to Cluster Vital Objects The Community Finds Findings That Are Considered Historic and Reports to the Local Caretaker Caretakers Clustering Vital Objects Caretaker Recording the Findings of Local Residents Vital Object Clustering Area Must Be Protected Almost Extinct Figure 7.
Vital Object Clustering Flow The Caretaker Reports the Findings of Historic Objects to the Local Government The Regional Government Determines Historical Objects by Issuing a Decree The role of the community in this condition is to notify several historical places for a regionalization/clustering system to be carried out by the caretaker, then the caretaker conducts a zoning system for the object to be clustered, then the clustering is used to http://jurnal.

November 2022 determine that the area must be protected because it is experiencing damage.
The application of a limited zoning system can be carried out by loading one site or building which is considered obligatory to be protected because it is important to be maintained and preserved.
Planning for Preservation in A Sustainable And Purposeful Way Planning that involves the preservation of historic areas in tourist areas must be in line with regional policies as tourism area This rule comes from a local government decision .
n this case from the Banyuwangi local governmen.
Then the decision came down to the caretaker of the tourist and historical area, then implemented by all the people.
The Regional Government and Tourism Institutions Make a Master Plan Regarding the Implementation of the Conservation of Vital Objects which includes several activities carried out during the conservation The Maintenance Officer Receives a Decree on the Implementation of the Preservation of Vital Objects The whole community respects and implements the agenda for the preservation of vital objects in the decree Figure 8.
Vital Object Masterplan Design Determining the Leading Sector of Wana Tourism The determination of the leading or main sector is also important in preserving and maintaining important objects in tourism.
This stipulation must also be related to actual conditions on the ground, in the sense that it http://jurnal.

php/MWS EISSN 26858436 does not lie that there is sector X in this area, in fact it does not exist, and can cause problems in the future.
Determining the leading sector is one of the efforts in comparing the most important thing in the midst of society in general so that it seems interesting, easy to remember, and can give a person the desire to be able to visit the place again.
The stages in determining and determining the leading sector in ecotourism are as follows.
The community around the ecotourism area discusses with the caretaker regarding the determination of a dominant leading sector in the ecotourism area The caretaker determines one leading sector to be brought to the Regional Government Tourism Office The Tourism Office determines the name of the leading sector to be promoted to the outside community Figure 9.
Flow of Determination of Leading Sector In this case, if you want to determine a leading sector, you must be able to determine the one object which is the most dominant among other leading tours.
The community around the tourist area can also contribute in terms of branding the area where they live.
The stages are that the community and the caretaker conduct deliberation to reach consensus, discuss, and dialogue about words and names that are suitable for promotion to the outside After the deliberation has reached a consensus, the caretaker brings the results of the discussion to the Banyuwangi Regency Tourism Office for data collection purposes.
Then, the Banyuwangi Regency Tourism Office will evaluate and promote tourist attractions in the public and on social media to attract tourists from outside the region, both on a national and international scale.
