However, along with many positive benefits of tourism there are many negative impacts on economic, social and environmental aspects of communities. The introduction of tourism often triggers alterations in the way local people make a living. Such alterations often lead to full tourism-dependent livelihoods, affecting the sustainability of traditional livelihoods due to the unreliability of the tourism industry. This study provides empirical evidence of such alterations in local communities. The research data for this study was collected in Komodo District, West Manggarai, East Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia, with the souvenir, tour boat and travel businesses as case studies. Using qualitative methods, this study elaborates the impacts of tourism on local livelihoods, by focusing on: the process of how tourism affected local livelihoods; the opportunities and threats emerging from the impact of tourism; the strategies applied to respond to the challenges; and the locals’ perspectives of influential stakeholders and sustainable tourism development. Although the current businesses provide the local businesspeople with a relatively immediate income, potential challenges have emerged that threaten the sustainability of their tourism-based livelihoods: their full reliance on tourism; fierce competition; extensive low seasons; and their lack of required skills. The locals’ strategies responding to such challenges remain focused on tourism-dependent businesses that have a high reliance on tourism. If tourism declines, the local people will have insufficient alternatives to maintain their livelihoods. Preserving non-tourism- related businesses as a livelihood diversification strategy will significantly increase their ability to cope with difficult times. Keywords: Local livelihoods; tourism development; sustainable livelihood; Indonesia i STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY This work has not previously been submitted for a degree or diploma in any university.

Aldi Herindra Lasso (2 May 2017) ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS This PhD journey has not been an easy one to go through. There were many obstacles and restrictions before I managed to reach the finishing line. I therefore convey my deepest gratitude to the Lord of my life, Jesus Christ. Only by Your grace and unconditional love I was able to finish this PhD journey. My sincerest gratitude goes to my distinguished supervisors for their remarkable support during the whole process of completing this PhD. We have been through ups and downs, but you were all always there to keep me on the right track. 1. Professor Heidi Dahles You have been an extraordinary supervisor for me throughout the years. You have taught me, not only knowledge and skills, but also life values. You were totally dedicated in supporting me, regardless of the hassles emerging during the journey. I could never count the lessons I have learnt from you. To me you are indeed my Guru. Thank you! 2. Associate Professor Peter Woods Thank you for your directions and inputs along the writing process. Your motivation assisted me to ‘keep the fire burning’. Thank you! 3. Dr Titi Susilowati Prabawa Our long discussions were always insightful for me. Your detailed input has significantly sharpened this study. Thank you! My sincere appreciation is given to my sponsor, the Directorate General of Higher Education of Indonesia, for supporting me from the starting point of this journey until the completion of my study in Australia. I would also like to convey my gratitude to the following prestigious institutions in Indonesia for your assistance and support during the completion of this study: Satya Wacana Christian University, Faculty of Information Technology of SWCU, Department of Tourism Destination of SWCU, and KOPERTIS Area VI. To my most precious ones, my wife, Sally Agustina, and my little angels, Amadea and Gwenn, there will never be a perfect word to describe how you all have supported me in this journey. You all helped motivate me to reach this finishing line. Although I know that I cannot regain the time I should have spent with you all, I would like to express my iii greatest appreciation for what you have sacrificed. One thing I promise, never again in life will we be separated like this again. My gratitude to my parents and extended family in Depok and in-laws in Lampung for your never-ending prayers for me. I am so blessed to have you all. I convey my sincere gratitude to these important people: • I would also like to thank Abbie for your significant assistance. What you did is awesome! • I can’t thank my church congregation members enough for all the assistance they have given to me during my stay in Australia. You guys have really shown me the true meaning of family. • I thank Mekar for your crucial help during the last period of my stay in Australia. • To my fellow Indonesians at Griffith University, thank you for your support. Last, but not least, my sincerest appreciation goes to the institutions (KNP, Government of West Manggarai Regency, Tourism and Culture Department of West Manggarai, and KESBANGPOL) involved in this study. Their facilitation in the fieldwork was remarkable. My local acquaintances: Ronny, Pak Sidiq, Pak Dahlan, Fandy, Fendy, and Pastor Willy, who have greatly helped me during my stay in Komodo District. My sincerest gratitude also goes to all my participants for your time and cooperation during the data collection process. Thank you all! iv CONTENTS ABSTRACT .............................................................................................................. i STATEMENT OF ORIGINALITY ......................................................................... ii ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS .................................................................................... iii CONTENTS ............................................................................................................. v LIST OF TABLES ................................................................................................. vii LIST OF FIGURES ............................................................................................... vii PUBLICATION FROM THIS THESIS ............................................................... viii 1 INTRODUCTION ............................................................................................ 1 1.1 National Tourism Development in Indonesia and Local Tourism Development in Komodo District ................................................................................................................ 1 1.2 Research Background and Research Gaps ............................................................. 4 1.3 The Structure of This Study ................................................................................ 6 2 THE INTERRELATEDNESS OF SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT, TOURISM, AND SUSTAINABLE LIVELIHOOD: A LITERATURE REVIEW ........................................................................................................... 8 2.1 Introduction ......................................................................................................... 8 2.2 Sustainable Development and Sustainable Tourism Development ........................ 8 2.3 Local Community at the Centre of Tourism Development .................................... 15 2.3.1 Position of Local Community among Various Stakeholders in Tourism Development ......................................................................................................... 15 2.3.2 The Prominence of Local Community in Tourism Development ......................... 17 2.3.3 Conflicts Resulting from Excluding Local Community ....................................... 18 2.3.4 Tourism Impacts on Local Community ................................................................ 20 2.3.5 Possible Roles of External Stakeholders in Supporting Local Community .......... 23 2.4 Tourism in Sustainable Development .................................................................. 25 2.5 Tourism, Sustainable Livelihood, Capital, and Livelihood Strategies .................... 27 2.6 Summary ........................................................................................................... 32 3 METHODOLOGY ......................................................................................... 35 3.1 Introduction ......................................................................................................

  • A Walk on the Wild Side
    SCAPES Island Trail your chauffeur; when asked to overtake, he regards you with bewildered incomprehension: “Overtake?” Balinese shiftlessness and cerebral inertia exasperate, particularly the anguished Japanese management with their brisk exactitude at newly-launched Hoshinoya. All that invigorates Bali is the ‘Chinese circus’. Certain resort lobbies, Ricky Utomo of the Bvlgari Resort chuckles, “are like a midnight sale” pulsating with Chinese tourists in voluble haberdashery, high-heeled, almost reeling into lotus ponds they hazard selfies on. The Bvlgari, whose imperious walls and august prices discourage the Chinese, say they had to terminate afternoon tea packages (another Balinese phenomenon) — can’t have Chinese tourists assail their precipiced parapets for selfies. The Chinese wed in Bali. Indians honeymoon there. That said, the isle inspires little romance. In the Viceroy’s gazebo, overlooking Ubud’s verdure, a honeymooning Indian girl, exuding from her décolleté, contuses her anatomy à la Bollywood starlet, but her husband keeps romancing his iPhone while a Chinese man bandies a soft toy to entertain his wife who shuts tight her eyes in disdain as Mum watches on in wonderment. When untoward circumstances remove us to remote and neglected West Bali National Park, where alone on the island you spot deer, two varieties, extraordinarily drinking salt water, we stumble upon Bali’s most enthralling hideaway and meet Bali’s savviest man, general manager Gusti at Plataran Menjangan (an eco-luxury resort in a destination unbothered about

    Advances in Social Science, Education and Humanities Research, volume 547 Proceedings of the 1st Annual International Conference on Natural and Social Science Education (ICNSSE 2020) Mosalaki: Central Point of Traditional Leadership System in Lio Ethnic Group in Sikka District, East Nusa Tenggara Suswandari1, Sri Astuti2 1)History Education Study Program, FKIP UHAMKA 2)Economic Education Study Program. FKIP UHAMKA [email protected] [email protected] Abstract. Indonesia's ethnic diversity has become a world-recognized identity. There are more than 750 ethnic groups throughout Indonesia from Sabang to Merauke. Every ethnic group has its character and is also an image of a proud cultural system. The Lio ethnic group is one of the ethnic groups on the island of Flores with their traditional ties and values of local wisdom that enrich Indonesia's diversity. One of its values include the local leadership known as Mosalaki. In Sikka Regency, the status of a Mosalaki in the Lio ethnic group is still the central point of the social structure. The Mosalaki are prominent figures in terms of their origins, authority and charisma that are not shared by society in general. In various traditional ceremonial procedures, the Mosalaki have an essential role to play, such as deciding the planting season, land management procedures, marriage procedures, and procedures for preserving and ensuring the wellbeing of people, contact behaviour, the belief system embraced even in the realm of modern politics today. This research was conducted using a qualitative approach as developed by Spradley. The results of the study describe that the role of a Mosalaki is still the focal point of all activities in the Lio ethnic, especially in the modern world today.

Edward H. Huijbens Examiner: dr. ir. Martijn Duineveld Wageningen University and Research Department of Environmental Science Cultural Geography Chair Group Master of Science in Tourism, Society and Environment i ACKNOWLEDGEMENT Tourism has been an inseparable aspect of my life, starting with having a passion for travelling until I decided to take a big step to study about it back when I was in vocational high school. I would say, learning tourism was one of the best decisions I have ever made in my life considering opportunities and experiences which I encountered on the process. I could recall that four years ago, I was saying to myself that finishing bachelor would be my last academic-related goal in my life. However, today, I know that I was wrong. With the fact that the world and the industry are progressing and I raise my self-awareness that I know nothing, here I am today taking my words back and as I am heading towards the final chapter from one of the most exciting journeys in my life – pursuing a master degree in Wageningen, the Netherlands. Never say never. In completing this thesis, I received countless assistances and helps from people that I would like to mention. Firstly, I would not be at this point in my life without the blessing and prayers from my parents, grandma, and family.
