ABSTRACT
The public-private partnership is the paramount approach in creating trust in public sector management and innovation development in public service. The role of public-private partnerships and Trust in tourism networks management has not been studied previously in developing tourism service innovation. Therefore, the primary goal of this research is to analyze the effect of public-private partnerships on trust in tourism networks management as a moderating variable and its influence on tourism service innovation during the Covid-19 pandemic in Indonesia. The research approach is used quantitative through survey exploratory for describing and explaining the association of each variable. The research data were gaining through questionnaires, and then a structural model is applied to test three hypotheses of the research. The total sampling has selected through stratified random sampling and the total sample is 350 people. Structural model analysis through SPSS and AMOS software is applied to analyze data and measure the three hypotheses of the research. The findings indicate publicprivate partnerships have a positive and significant effect on trust in tourism networks management and tourism service innovation. Besides, the result also confirms that trust in tourism networks management has a positive and significant influence on the tourism service innovation achievement. We argue that public-private partnerships and trust are necessary to make tourism industry management successful in the next future.
ABSTRACT
Participatory mapping has continued to evolve with the onset of new methodologies and technology. Conventional methods for sketching have now expanded to incorporate the use of drone imagery and other sophisticated mapping approaches as a base map. However, the use of ultra-high resolution drone imagery does not mean that it will facilitate more participatory processes nor improve the quality of data and uses of information. Indeed, it has long been known that ultra-high spatial resolution can cause misinterpretation. During COVID-19, innovations are emerging to apply more remote technologies in participatory mapping. Mobility concerns, requirements, and preferences for physical distancing discourages active participation of local communities and are especially complex in contexts involving Indigenous People. This paper specifically explores the mistakes that can arise from overreliance on employing drones as a tool in participatory mapping methods. This paper is based on a case study of participatory mapping conducted at 43 villages (around forest area) of Central Sulawesi Province and West Sulawesi Province. The participatory mapping was carried out by the Sulawesi Community Foundation (SCF) from 2019-2021. The result of the study found at least six signs of potentially negative outcomes from the use of ultra-high resolution drone imagery, starting from disorientation, misperception over the periods of drone acquisition, homogeneous land cover conditions, similar types of plants, numerous signs of nature, and labeling affixed on map. We also encourage the development of ultra-high-resolution drone imagery to take place under certain conditions and see its role as an interpretation dictionary or as a targeted tool in local contexts. In addition, we found that the level of active participation in participatory mapping during the Pandemic was higher than before the pandemic but requires some improvisations in meeting design.
