“…By the conceptual research framework, tourism should help the welfare of the community. Community-based Tourism is a model that should be developed (Khartishvili et al 2020;Mayaka, Lacey, and Rogerson 2020;Mtapuri and Giampiccoli 2016;Johnson 2010). This step is to ensure that tourism development is in line with improving the socio-economic quality of the people who live around tourist destinations.…”

Since February 2015, the government has provided tourism as a leading sector in development. It is, however, that this premise needs to be reviewed. As one of the popular destinations in Indonesia, after Bali, Yogyakarta is still dealing with acute poverty problems with an 11,7% poverty rate and disparity index of 0,423 (Gini ratio) by March 2019. This situation showed that tourism has not contributed to its vital role in empowering the community. The primary problem is concerning the lack of participation based-community in developing and managing tourism. Regarding that problem, community-based tourism is present as an alternative tourism model because it is concerned with optimizing local potentiality and local community empowerment. Meanwhile, some aspects, including access, amenities, and attractions, are essential in tourism development. In line with issues, the acceleration of digital technology has encouraged nomad workers and experience-based tourism attraction—both elements then actualized in nomadic tourism. According to the case study method, this research has investigated the potentiality of the nomadic tourism model in the Special Region of Yogyakarta: Bukit Kosakora (Kosakara Hill) in Gunung Kidul, Taman Bambu Air (Water Bamboo Park) in Sermo Reservoir, Kulonprogo, and Bukit Lintang Sewu (Thousand Stars Hill) in the Mangunan, Bantul, Yogyakarta. The three places are potentially pioneers of nomadic tourism in Yogyakarta. The research results highlight that all of these places have amenities, attraction, and access as opportunities to be nomadic tourism. However, they have implemented the basic principles of community-based tourism, but the realization is not yet fully optimal because of the matter in the institutional context.

“…It seems necessary to point out that tourism has sometimes "impoverished" tourist destinations, depriving them of their resources. For this reason, tourism sustainability of mountain areas (Bošković et al, 2020;Milićević et al, 2021) requires an integrated territorial planning, where its inhabitants assume efforts through their practices of economic development of the community, and this specific process takes on substantial importance as it allows the differentiation of the local economy (Khartishvili et al, 2020).…”

Mountain regions have been modified by human activity for centuries, which lead to more or less of significant changes in their ecosystems and consequently in landscapes. Some of these changes have been generated by traditional farming practices, such as the viticulture, giving distinctive shapes and identities of the space. Even if in many areas, the farming traditions have been abandoned as the consequences of technological progress applied in agriculture, Sardinia is a good example of vineyards cultural heritage preservation. Thus, linking this cultural heritage to the wine tourism, and promoting good practices at local initiatives, Sardinia limited the depopulation of the mountain areas. A very successful example of the increasing of positive tourism impact on territory planning, over the past few years, is the municipality of Mamoiada, in central Sardinia. The paper highlights the role of the using of environmental, cultural and identity tourist resources of Sardinian territory as far as they are part of good practices and furthermore, they could be the basis of sustainable development strategy. Moreover, the aim of our work is to investigate how the cultural, identity, landscape and socio-economic impact on the wine sector plays an important role for the rural community of Mamoiada.

“…The development of tourist villages has been carried out in several studies under the central issue of CBT and classified into three trends. The first study type examines developing tourist villages as an economic commodity (Malatji and Mtapuri 2012;Lapeyre 2010;Khartishvili et al 2020;Ermaya 2016). Based on economic development, this study explores more in encouraging economic growth, reducing unemployment, and increasing local communities' productivity.…”
