Macroergonomic approaches as a solution to local wisdom-based tourist village development planning

Abstract

Tourist villages are among the tourist attractions which are often visited by tourists. The development of these tourist destinations is undertaken by referring to the data of the Ministry of Tourism and Creative Economy. Currently, there are a total of 978 tourist villages in Indonesia. This number has increased sharply since 2009, in which there were only 144 tourist villages. Unfortunately, the existence of tourist villages might result in a shift in land conversion, tourism use, and clothes. Moreover, this might cause damage to cultural assets which can be reduced only by rigorous rules of the local wisdom. This research tries to improve the system adopted in the development of tourist villages using the approaches of Kansai Engineering and Macroergonomic Analysis and Design (MEAD). Based on the research findings using Kansai Engineering, there are 3 kansai words found to cause problems to the development of tourist villages, which were then repaired using the approach of the MEAD concept so that the proposed work system design is to integrate the existing components by formulating and creating visions & missions, work instructions, and Standard Operating Procedures (SOP).
