Stakeholder Roles in Maliosewu Culinary Tourism Management
Keywords:
Stakeholder Role, Power–Interest Grid, Tourism Culinary, MaliosewuAbstract
Community-based culinary tourism is a growing instrument for local economic development in the region. However, the sustainability of this type of destination is primarily determined by governance and stakeholder relationships. This study aims to analyze the roles and positions of stakeholders in the management of Maliosewu Culinary Tourism in Pringsewu Regency. The study used a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document reviews, then analyzed using a stakeholder mapping approach with the Power–Interest Grid model. The results show an imbalance in the levels of interest and capacity for influence among actors. The Pringsewu Regency Youth and Sports Agency (DISPRAPAR) plays a key role, with relatively high structural power and interests, although its involvement remains predominantly administrative. The Pringsewu Regency Regional People's Representative Council (DPRD) is in the context-setter position with latent power but selective involvement.Meanwhile, managers, MSME traders, and the surrounding community have strong interests but limited influence, while visitors are in the crowd, with restricted interests and influence. These findings confirm that the main challenge in managing Maliosewu Culinary Tourism lies in the imbalance in the relationship between authority, interests, and participation mechanisms. Therefore, a stakeholder management strategy that is differential and contextual is needed to support the destination's social, economic, and institutional sustainability.
