| description |
The major focus of this research is to find a better and more sustainable module to
develop tourism in Malaysia. As current mass tourism module, though lucrative, is not
socially and environmentally sustainable. There is a need for a new module for tourism
in Malaysia. This thesis seek to explore the potential of using Community Capacity
Building (CCB) as a tool to develop a sustainable Community Based Ecotourism
(CBET) within the community of Orang Asli Hulu (Jakun), in Kampung Selai, Bekok,
Johor. With their close proximity to Taman Negara Johor, Endau-Rompin, the research
site is a prime location for tourism. However, literatures and on-ground reports show
that there has been no development for tourism introduced to the community. Using
semi-structured interview as instrument to gather data from 15 participants, both from
the stakeholder and community sides, the research revealed that the basic dimensions
of CCB for tourism; participation, knowledge, communication and leadership plays an
important part for a sustainable CBET development. The research also manages to
uncover a new dimension; exposure, that is crucial in order to develop any tourism
development in an Orang Asli community. Given their rural geographic and cultural
factors. From the results, the ‘community’ level within the CCB framework was most
impacted, by any CCB programs for tourism in the area. Specific factors for CBET
development in the area are also listed and discussed. Along with recommendations
for future research and CBET development plans for the area, grounded on the findings
of this research. With this, the researcher hoped that the community of Kg. Selai can
manage themselves to create a sustainable CBET, with the right help and push from
stakeholders, and ultimately promote a better, a more sustainable and less destructive
way to develop tourism in Malaysia. |
