The Karuhan Urang Customary Community (Masyarakat Adat Karuhun Urang– AKUR) from Cigugur is one of the communities that still adhere to Sunda Wiwitan beliefs. This community has mutual respect for the religious views of others. At the Seren Taun ceremony, people from various religions attend and pray together in Paseban Tri Panca Tunggal as an effort to preserve the cultural heritage of the community’s ancestor. Other efforts to preserve their culture surfaced when a company wanted to acquire land for geothermal exploitation. Collectively, the community refused to release the area to ensure the preservation of their settlement concept. The research aims to reveal the underlying structure in the community settlement system as a manifestation of the community’s transcendental awareness. This article reveals the meaning of space by exploring the surface structure of form and function of community culture. Moreover, the paper assesses community awareness by interpreting deep structures. The findings show that the persistence of settlement space was inspired by the great respect of the community for their ancestors. Furthermore, the teachings of their ancestors are embedded in the community’s unconsciousness and govern their values of culture, nationality, and religion. As a result, strong tolerance manifests in a sense of universal brotherhood.

Abstract. Rawabogo Village is one of the tourist villages in Bandung Regency which was determined based on the decision of the Bandung Regency regent in 2011. Tourism conditions in Rawabogo Tourism Village such as amenities and accessibility, as well as complementary tourism facilities are not adequate. In addition, the communication problem from each key actor causes different perceptions of tourism development in Rawabogo Village. These conditions can affect perceptions, emotions, motivations, expectations, as well as services and products offered by destinations from tourists or the public. One way to verify responses and perceptions can be done using neuroscience methods by measuring electroencephalography (EEG) waves. This study uses gamma waves to measure response, because these waves are closely related to high-level brain activation. The results obtained, village government respondents tend to get tourism development benchmarking, village communities from the results of canals AF7 and AF8 only focus on cultural development, custom peoples are the only group that has high spatial experience of the Nagara Padang site based on TP9 and TP10 channels, and for public resident tend not to form a memory of the space based the stimulus.

The agri-food industry faces shocks to global and local socio-economic conditions. They are micro, small, and medium-sized enterprises (MSMEs) that absorbed a lot of labor during the Indonesian economic crisis and stood for decades. This industry may provide safety nets, especially for low-income communities carrying out productive economic activities in rural. Therefore, this study examines the extent of the agri-food industry’s resilience in rural areas by focusing on industrial and business structures and labor market conditions factors. This study used a case study approach through in-depth interviews with business owners. The rural agri-food industry made adaptations and innovations in production and financial management to resilience. This strategy raises the difference in its market segment. The difference in company size reduces local competition also. On the one hand, the management and control capabilities of family firms and the kinship or historical relationship between company owners and workers tend to increase this industry’s resilience. On the other hand, this industry has attached to local values and culture, making the demand for this agrifood-industrial product stable. The labor profile does not require high qualifications and is also dominated by housewives, and the flexibility of time and wages of the agri-food industry may suit rural conditions so that it can survive. In this regard, the proximity of locations between companies and between companies and workers is important for this industry’s resilience. Although the MSMEs scale agri-food industry is vulnerable, it could survive and recover as a driving force for the household economy in rural. Lessons and strategies are also presented for entrepreneurs and policymakers to increase the resilience of the agri-food industry.

Abstract. The tourism potential of Rawabogo Village became one of the urgencies after the establishment of the tourism village title in the village. Rawabogo Village, which is located in Ciwidey District, has been designated as a tourism village since 2011 with the potential for the Gunung Nagara Padang Site.

Based on this phenomenon, the method needed in addition to the instrumental concept (disstantiation) is also required for its meaning (appropriation). This research method uses a symbolic hermeneutic approach (Paul Ricoeur) which offers a new paradigm in the field of tourism village planning. This approach describes the meaning by combining "explanation" and "understanding" of the information unit to produce meaning of local potential through a process of disstantiation and appropriation in accordance with the needs of meaning in the Rawabogo Tourism Village. The results of the analysis resulted in the meaning of the local potential of the Rawabogo Tourism Village, namely culture as the identity of the cultural community and the potential attractiveness of Rawabogo Village, Gunung Nagara Padang as a characteristic of Rawabogo Village, and the diversity of attractions as an opportunity for Rawabogo Tourism Village. The meaning of the local potential can be an option for the direction of the tourism potential of the Rawabogo Tourism Village. Abstrak.
