The systemic harmony of the attraction in the cultural corridor area consisting of one or more fragments would work together forming a collective attraction. A destination in a corridor can be a visual linkage and datum linkage, both of which are parts of the cultural corridor. One approach to linkage theory is visual linkage and datum spatial linkage. The main aim of this study is to observe the existence of tourism object variation in regionalization and connectivity related to visual linkage and spatial datum. Visual linkage and spatial datum serve functional relation when measuring and analysing the spatial structure of tourism. The method used and developed in the study is of qualitative description with a conceptual model of the spatial structure of tourism using the connection of cultural tourism in the core of Yogyakarta city. There are two types of data used in this study, namely: a) primary data that is obtained through, field observation that includes observations of similar areas (precedent studies) and site locations to be used. b) Documentation, recording events using tools such as a camera that is used to capture images or videos, notebooks, and writing tools for taking notes or sketching and a smartphone. The result showed that the cultural corridor in the Malioboro area is a visual linkage of two or more fragments that are connected into a single unit visually able to unite the area at various scales. This results in connecting the area neutrally. The Malioboro area is a visual linkage, which is an area that is functionally united by connecting several areas and prioritizing one of them. The Malioboro area has several visual linkage elements such as line, corridor, side/edge, axis, and rhythm.

Alun-alun (Javanese) or lawn square is one of public open spaces that serves as a forum for social activities. Apart from its social functions, Alun-alun also has other functions, an ecological and economical. The ecological function aims to maintain the quality of the environment. Meanwhile the economical functions aims to improve the economical aspect. Considering the important existence of Alun-alun in an urban area, a public open space must be designed by considering the elements of urban space in order to function properly. The existence of a Alun-alun in Yogyakarta becomes the center of social activities for its society However, in reality, the social activities taking place in Alun-alun are still relatively low. This study aims to examine the elements forming urban space in Alun-alun Yogyakarta using descriptive qualitative methods. The results describe that the social activities occuring in Alun-alun Yogyakarta due to the elements which form the urban space in it.

The Indonesian government through the Ministry of Tourism has a big agenda related to the development of sustainable tourism destinations, namely Indonesia must be a benchmarking of sustainable tourism in Southeast Asia. The program began in 2015 with the signing of a memorandum of understanding with 20 Districts / Cities as a form of local government commitment to encourage sustainable tourism development. This study is to find out how the monitoring system is carried out in tourism ecosystems, consists of: destinations, local governments and local universities running and in accordance with predetermine Ed standards. The monitoring system in this study focused more on the standards determined by the Global Sustainable Tourism Council (GSTC), namely on the management standards of tourism destinations and environmental management. A monitoring system focused on how tourism destinations attempt to reduce disaster risk. The study location took samples in the southern slopes of Merapi, namely in the Turi sub-district, which is the area that has the most tourist villages among the other sub-districts in Sleman Regency. This study method was carried out through snapshoot assessment and observation through sustainable tourism development indicators consisting of 4 standards, 42 criteria and 102 indicators. Assessment is based on the results of self-assessment. Assessment is given for each element in each standard, where each standard will be given a Likert scale value from 1-7. The criteria used are standard environmental management criteria that are in accordance with the provisions of the determined GSTC, which includes further monitoring with standard D, namely maximizing the benefits for the environment and minimizing negative impacts which consist of: D1 Environmental Risk, D2 Sensitive Environmental Protection, D4 Greenhouse Gas Emission, D11 Light and Sound Pollution, D12 Environmentally Friendly Transportation. Research results indicate that tourism destinations already have standards in destination management and environmental management, but have not carried out overall practices within the framework of sustainable tourism development, especially in standard D.
