Abstract:
The effort to develop tourism in Temajuk Village, which is one of the border regions between
Indonesia and Malaysia, has begun to bear fruit. Although there is no official record of figures, the
last two years the number of visits, according to the people, has grown so rapidly especially during
national holidays. This research was conducted to explain the supporting and inhibiting factors for
tourism development in Temajuk Village by using attraction elements, accessibility, amenities, and
other supporting factors, linked to capital theory. This research is a qualitative research with a casestudy form, using purposive sampling technique. There were three informants selected who represent
important elements of tourism, namely the government, private sector, and local people. The data
were collected using interview and observation techniques. The findings indicate that the factors that
support the tourism development of Temajuk Village are natural and cultural attractions. Temajuk
Village is a symbol of the border region, and the people's social capital is in their hospitality
(Jerampah). The inhibiting factors are inadequate road access, the absence of tourist information, the
absence of banks, the quality of inadequate communication networks, and the availability of
electricity that is not yet 24 hours. |
