Digitalisasi Desa Wisata Untuk Peningkatan Ekonomi Desa Berkelanjutan Melalui Kemitraan Pokdarwis Lembar Selatan

Widia Febriana, Husain, I Made Yadi Dharma, Lady Faerrosa
Abstract: Abstract: Developing tourism villages is a crucial strategy for strengthening local economies, reducing urbanization, and maintaining cultural and environmental sustainability. This concept is increasingly relevant in the… e era of digital transformation, when tourism villages are required to adapt through technology-based smart tourism approaches, digital promotion, and information services. One area with significant potential is Lembar Selatan Village in West Lombok Regency, West Nusa Tenggara. Surrounded by 70 hectares of mangrove forest, a coastline, marine life, and well-preserved local traditions, the village has the potential to be developed into a coastal ecotourism destination. The Lembar Selatan Ecotourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) has begun managing tourism based on conservation and environmental education. However, obstacles remain, such as low digital literacy, the lack of an online promotion and reservation system, and limited destination management training. These conditions impact market reach and low tourist visits. Therefore, Community Service (PKM) activities are designed to increase Pokdarwis capacity, strengthen tourism digitalization through websites and promotional media, and encourage local community empowerment. This program is expected to realize inclusive, participatory, and sustainable coastal ecotourism, as well as strengthen the competitiveness and branding of Lembar Selatan Tourism Village.

Abstract: The spread of Islam on Sumatra Island originated in coastal regions before expanding into the hinterlands. Utilizing a historical approach, this study reveals that maritime trade routes served as the gateway for traders… and missionaries from Arabia, Persia, and Gujarat to engage in commerce and dawah across Sumatra. Islam initially flourished in Barus, Samudera Pasai, and Aceh before eventually expanding into the interior through river networks, intermarriage, and the political influence of the sultanates. The findings of this study indicate that the process of Islamization in Sumatra was not uniform; in coastal areas, Islam tended to be more Cosmopolitan, whereas in the interior, cultural acculturation with local traditions occurred. The success of this expansion marked the starting point of a religious transformation across the Indonesian archipelago
