Objectives: The purpose of this study was to determine the degree of services and facilities at tourist sites for individuals with disabilities (accessible tourism) in Najran region, as well as the disparities based on gender, type of disability, and nature of the visit. Methods: Following the survey approach, the descriptive method was employed to fulfill the study's goal. The researchers' study technique (an electronic questionnaire) was employed. After validating its validity and dependability in the Saudi context, it was reduced to (14) elements. It was applied to a sample of (111) male and female volunteers with impairments (sight, hearing, and motor). A stratified random sample was drawn from Najran area of the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. Results: The results revealed that the level of services and facilities in tourist sites for individuals with disabilities (accessible tourism) was poor in Najran region. According to the answers of the study sample members, there are statistically significant differences in the level of services and facilities in tourist sites for people with disabilities (accessible tourism) in Najran region due to the type of disability variable in favor of visual disability and hearing disability. Furthermore, differences in the nature of the visit arose in favor of the nature of the visit with the center, although no statistically significant differences showed on the variable of gender. The study recommended that the authorities responsible for the tourism sector and tourism industry in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia adopt an organized and thoughtful strategic plan.

Widoyo

et al. 2023

Objective: This article aims to investigate the various forms of community participation in supporting sustainable development programs in rural areas. It specifically examines the nature and extent of community involvement across different stages of program development, highlighting the key actors and categories of participation. Theoretical Framework: The theoretical framework for this research is grounded in the concept of community participation in development, which is a fundamental principle of sustainable development. The study draws on the works of scholars who have explored community engagement and its significance in achieving development goals, particularly in rural contexts. The Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) serve as a backdrop to assess the alignment of community participation with global development priorities. Method: This research employs a qualitative approach to capture the nuances of community participation in sustainable development programs. Data is gathered through in-depth interviews with development participants and focus group discussions. The qualitative methodology allows for a deeper understanding of the forms, actors, and dynamics of community involvement. Result and Conclusion: The findings of this study reveal that community participation is integral to all stages of sustainable development program development: planning, implementation, monitoring, and evaluation. The research identifies two main channels through which community participation occurs: formal village institutional channels, including village community empowerment institutions and community representative bodies, and informal channels, which involve community leaders, religious figures, youth leaders, and professionals. Community participation takes three primary forms: contributions of ideas and thoughts, material contributions, and donations of energy. Originality/value: This research contributes to the understanding of community participation in the context of sustainable development in rural areas. It highlights the diverse ways in which communities engage in development initiatives and emphasizes their essential role in achieving the SDGs. The study's value lies in its potential to inform policymakers, practitioners, and academics about the significance of community participation and its implications for the success of sustainable development programs.

et al. 2023

Objective: This research explores the prospects of leasing agreements as a financing solution for tourist boats for MSMEs, considering the vast potential of marine tourism in Indonesia. Despite the potential benefits of leasing agreements, no specific regulations govern them, resulting in deviations from leasing principles and limited understanding among stakeholders. Methods: The study adopts the triangle legal pluralism approach and focuses on the Special Capital District of Jakarta and Labuan Bajo as significant marine and tourism industry hubs. Primary data collection includes interviews, observations, and secondary data from legal documents and literature. The analysis employs deductive and inductive logic and triangulation for validation. Result: According to this study, leasing agreements can help Indonesian tourism MSMEs finance tourist boats. Indonesia's maritime tourist business has great potential due to its archipelago and natural resources. However, MSMEs need help to acquire capital to ensure tourist boat growth, impacting tourism services and experiences. The following suggestions aim to unlock potential and promote sustainable tourism growth: Include Rental Contract Laws: Due to the industry's lack of rules, leasing agreements vary and cause disputes. Implementing lease agreement guidelines will provide legal certainty, protect lessors and lessees, and ensure fair and transparent business practices; Because many need help understanding, outreach, and education must increase. Leasing Agreements must broaden and organize outreach to educate MSMEs, business actors, and the public about leasing's benefits and processes. Suggestions: Ultimately, this research aims to provide valuable insights for policymakers, businesses, and academics to promote tourism ship financing through leasing agreements to grow the Indonesian tourism industry.
