Maintain Sustainability of Historic Village as Tourism Village. The Case of Bustaman Village in Semarang, Indonesia

Abstract

Bustaman village, a village that has a long history with various traditions in it, has received support from the city government and the arts community to care about the village. However, this support is meaningless if residents do not contribute to the preservation of their village. Although tradition and daily activity are still ongoing, it is not yet sufficient enough to maintain the sustainability of Bustaman Village. With qualitative methods, this study will explain the phenomenon and the sustainability of Bustaman village. The output of this research is the strategy of developing the sustainability of Bustaman Village as a community-based tourism village.
