COMMUNITY PARTICIPATION APPROACH IN MANAGING CONFLICTS AS THE IMPACT OF TOURISM DEVELOPMENT

摘要

Various changes that take place as an impact of tourism development may turn out to be a source of conflicts among those who feel that they have some economic interests in the tourism development. Tourism is one of the economic sectors that are potential to be made as a source of revenues for individuals, communities, and even local government. Therefore, the management of the effects of disagreements and conflicts resulting from the tourism development of a locality is highly needed. A conflict management may be accomplished by an inclusively participatory planning. An inclusively participatory planning is one that involves the whole people with any interest in an activity plan (Lubis: 2001). It includes modeling, participatory, and scenario planning approaches.
