Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Humanities and Social Science - Year 2018, Vol 23, Issue 10
Abstract
The presence of tourism in the cultural context has given a positive impact towards the level of local and community income, job creation, employment, developing the community trade sector, preservation of local people's culturessuch as religious activities, customs and traditions, and the acceptance of tourism object development and tourist arrivals by the local community as well as the increasing public insights and perspectives. In addition to the positive side, there is also negative impact such as the commoditization of local culture. Shepherd (2002) states that along with the increasing demand for tourism, commoditization of culture becomes an unavoidable thing because tourists want to experience a different cultural experience from what they have in their origin, thus causing a shift in traditional values and contamination of sanctity of the sanctuary, modification of regional dances, fading of identity and historical value, andpublic becomes consumerism and materialistic (commercial) so that the kinship and intimacy values are lost and sacrificed.If previously various ceremonies / rituals and cultural products were only used for their own’s account with special meanings and functions, the presence of tourists has added another value, i.e. the private sector becomes go public and sacred becomes secular. Following up on the weaknesses experienced by the Timorese community and anticipating no commoditization of all cultures in Timor, the researchers were interested in conducting research entitled "Model of Cultural Tourism Development Based on Tourism and Commodification(Survey on Several Cultural Tourism Objects in South Central Timor)". The main problem studied: how is the model of cultural tourism development based on preservation and commoditization (survey on several cultural tourism objects in South Central Timor). The objectives to be achieved are: Identifying Timorese cultures classified into tourism products, analyzing the influence of cultural tourism development on preservation and cultural commotification, designing models for developing cultural tourism based on conservation and commoditization, analyzing strategies for developing cultural tourism based on conservation and commoditization in Timor South Central. While the output targets are Scientific Articles (International journals), Models, Teaching Materials, and databases to achieve the intended target. Regarding these output targets, the output innovations carried out areinventorying potential Timor cultures, mapping potential Timorese cultures that must be preserved and commodified, designing models of cultural tourism development towards the cultural preservation and comotification, as well as designing strategies for developing cultural tourism based on conservation and commoditization in South Central Timor. The research method used is qualitative and quantitative descriptive analysis, i.e. namely statistical analysis (SEM).
