“…The Rampak Genteng Festival in the largest public area in this region gives texture to Jatiwangi District. Kolokytha (2022) underlines that cultural initiatives that emerge from lower society can replace the role of policy makers by providing cultural experiences to the participants involved. What JAF did to coordinate the Rampak Genteng Festival was what Lefebvre thought was an effort to explore how civil society seizes the hegemony of the state and capitalism to then manage the spaces of a geographic region.…”

“…Research on JAF was carried out by Lukito & Nugroho (2021) regarding how the space production process was carried out by the Jatiwangi community at the Rampak Genteng Festival. In relation to festivals and culture identity, Kolokytha (2022) research in Greece reveals that festivals are bottom-up cultural diplomacy for society in its existence and identity, and Hidayat, (2022) and Dalil & Rahardjo, (2021) sees the importance of the role of interaction between agents and opinion leaders in strengthening the cultural identity of a community. In the development process that the Indonesian government continues to carry out, research by Malik (2018) sees that cultural identity can continue to be maintained and can coexist with modernization.…”

The Decree of the Central Government of the Republic of Indonesia which established the Rebana Triangle Strategic Industrial Area which covers the Cirebon City -Subang Regency -Majalengka Regency area has given rise to various changes and social conflicts in this region. This research aims to see how the community resolves the conflict over land conversion and the elimination of local cultural identity that occurred in Jatiwangi District, Majalengka Regency. This research uses the communication geography model by Adams and Jansson as analysis tools which is combined with Henri Lefebvre's thoughts about "right to the city". This research has a critical, postmodern paradigm, with case study methods and qualitative data. The research results show that the people of Jatiwangi carry out communication geography to maintain their public areas and cultural identity through various festivals, art performances, and proposing the Terracotta City concept in the spatial planning of the Majalengka region which was organized by the Jatiwangi Art Factory (JAF), a local artist community.

“…Prior studies on each factor were considered to provide a theoretical basis for the above. Questions for each factor were derived based on various academic grounds for local singularity [36][37][38][39][40], convergent creativity [12,21,41,42], sustainability [43][44][45][46], and community culture [47][48][49][50][51]. The initial pool included 60 items, representing four factors: local singularity (15 items), convergent creativity (15 items), sustainability (15 items), and community culture (15 items).…”

The purpose of this study was to develop and validate qualitative value indicators of region-based community dance for cultural urban regeneration. To this end, the conceptual structure of local-based community dance was explored and evaluation indicators were developed by deriving questions related to this. The specific research procedures and results are as follows: First, a literature review and Delphi survey were conducted to obtain factors and questions regarding qualitative value indicators. Consequently, four factors of local singularity, convergent creativity, sustainability, and community culture were obtained with 43 questions. Next, a preliminary survey targeting 122 people who have participated in representative local dance festivals (the ‘Wonju Dynamic Dancing Carnival’, ‘Cheonan World Dance Festival’, and ‘Andong Maskdance Festival’) in Korea was conducted to determine the relationship between the factors and questions. Multi-dimensional value indicators with 30 questions in four factors were obtained from an exploratory factor analysis using SPSS version 25.0. Then, the main survey, targeting 341 people who have participated in three representative local dance festivals in Korea, was conducted to verify the validity of the value indicators. Finally, evaluation indicators of 26 questions (seven questions for regional uniqueness, five questions for convergent creativity, seven questions for sustainability, and seven questions for community culture) were developed from a confirmatory factor analysis using AMOS version 24.0. Additionally, the contents evaluated by each factor are as follows: Firstly, ‘Local Singularity’ is a factor in whether the evaluation target sufficiently contains the unique characteristics of the region. Secondly, ‘Convergent Creativity’ is a factor in whether the evaluation target converges the indigenous culture (traditional culture) and acceptance culture (modern culture) of the region well. Thirdly, ‘Sustainability’ is a factor in whether the evaluation target contributes to the sustainable development of the region. Fourthly, ‘Community Culture’ is a factor in whether the evaluation target contributes to the formation of community culture in the region. This study is significant in that it emphasises the potential possibility of community dance, which can contribute to cultural urban regeneration based on the perspectives of cultural democracy. Therefore, the results of this study are expected to be extended and applied to various types of community dance in the future. Moreover, it is further forecasted that this study will suggest the meaning of the qualitative valuation of art and culture for a variety of subjects, such as policy experts and administrators, as well as for directors, choreographers, and participants in community dance.

“…An arts festival is a showcase where visitors or spectators can watch and appreciate one or more artistic expressions created by members. Organizing arts festivals is presented in connection with various other cultural activities such as religious, political, social, and economic activities such as tourism [2], [4]- [7]. Nowadays, arts festivals are closely related to economic aspects related to tourism [4], [8]- [10].…”

Music festivals are social and cultural events mostly seen as activities to present artistic expressions for the audience to enjoy. If it is investigated closely, the presentation of work at festivals is the final culmination of training and learning, both of which are essential elements of the educational process. This research aims to examine and show that music festivals have educational elements, even in the context of tourism interests. The music festival studied was the Angklung Caruk Festival, a type of traditional music from the Osing community. The festival competes for musical skills between student angklung groups in Banyuwangi, East Java. The research uses ethnographic methods to discover and explain the intersection between festivals' education and tourism dimensions. Data collection uses participant observation techniques, interviews, document study, and documentation. Data analysis uses an ethnographic model, including domain analysis, taxonomy, components, and cultural themes. The research results show that the Angklung Caruk music festival is an arena for competition in the beauty of musical works between student groups to achieve victory. This competition has become a tourism commodity packaged under the title Banyuwangi Festival. To present their best musical works, each angklung group receives intensive and profound education from professional musicians, with the support of the school, government, and parents. Thus, the Angklung Caruk Festival is an arena for reproducing Osing traditional music culture which has an economic and educational dimension. It has an impact on strengthening the identity and social repositioning of the Osing community in the present and future.
