Abstract

Indonesia's cultural diversity is an extraordinary potential that needs to be maintained and preserved. Cultural mapping is an effort to document the cultural potential that exists in an area both urban and rural. This research focuses on the mapping process in rural areas in the Borobudur Area, one of the 10 priority tourist destinations established by the Ministry of Tourism. The tourism trend that is developing in Borobudur now is not only focused on the temple, but also to explore the surrounding villages, thus demanding the readiness of each village for the development of sustainable rural tourism. This study aims to find a cultural mapping method that is suitable for rural conditions, by doing a case study in one of the villages in the Borobudur area, which is Giritengah Village, identifying and mapping the cultural potential of the village, so that it can be used as a basis for developing sustainable village tourism planning. This study uses qualitative method with participatory approach. Data was collected through field observations, interviews with community leaders and local residents, literature studies, and Focus Group Discussions. The result of the study shows that cultural mapping in rural areas still follows the steps of standard cultural mapping procedures, however, in the implementation it was adjusted to the conditions of the local community, especially their culture and local wisdom.

Keanekaragaman budaya yang dimiliki Indonesia merupakan potensi luar biasa yang perlu dijaga dan dilestarikan. Pemetaan budaya merupakan salah satu upaya untuk mendokumentasikan potensi budaya yang ada di suatu tempat/kawasan baik perkotaan maupun pedesaan. Penelitian ini fokus pada proses pemetaan di kawasan pedesaan di Kawasan Borobudur, salah satu dari 10 destinasi wisata prioritas yang ditetapkan oleh Kementerian Pariwisata. Tren wisata yang berkembang di Borobudur saat ini adalah tidak hanya fokus ke candinya, tapi mulai merambah ke desa-desa sekitarnya, sehingga menuntut kesiapan setiap desa untuk pengembangan pariwisata pedesaan yang berkelanjutan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menemukan metode pemetaan budaya yang cocok dengan kondisi pedesaan, dengan mengambil studi kasus di salah satu desa di Kawasan Borobudur yakni Desa Giritengah, mengidentifikasi dan memetakan potensi budaya yang dimiliki desa tersebut, sehingga bisa dijadikan dasar untuk penyusunan perancanaan pariwisata yang berkelanjutan (sustainable village tourism planning). Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan partisipatif. Perolehan data dilakukan melalui observasi lapangan, interview terhadap tokoh masyarakat dan warga setempat, studi literatur, dan Focus Group Discussion. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa pemetaan budaya di kawasan pedesaan tetap mengikuti langkah-langkah prosedur baku pemetaan budaya, namun dalam pelaksanaan di lapangan menyesuaikan dengan kondisi masyarakat setempat, terutama budaya dan kearifan lokalnya.
