THE DYNAMICS OF THE STATUS OF BOROBUDUR TEMPLE AND THE POTENTIAL FOR DEVELOPING COMMUNITY-BASED RELIGIOUS TOURISM
Abstract
This study investigates the complex interplay of factors influencing the status of the Borobudur Temple, a significant cultural heritage site in Indonesia. It examines its potential for fostering community-based religious tourism. Through an interdisciplinary lens, the study explores the historical, socio-cultural, and religious dimensions shaping the temple's significance and its evolving status within the contemporary context. It analyses the intricate relationship between the preservation of the temple's religious and historical value and the development of sustainable community-based tourism initiatives. Through literature reviews, this paper highlights the challenges and opportunities associated with balancing preservation efforts and promoting tourism activities that benefit local communities. Additionally, it underscores the importance of engaging various stakeholders, including local communities, religious authorities, government agencies, and tourism organizations, in fostering a collaborative approach to sustainable tourism development. Within the socio-religious approach, the framework emphasizes the need for a comprehensive strategy that respects the religious sanctity of the site, promotes cultural heritage preservation, and ensures the equitable distribution of economic benefits to the surrounding communities. The findings aim to contribute to formulating effective policies and strategies that promote the sustainable development of community-based religious tourism while safeguarding the cultural and religious significance of the Borobudur Temple.
