The expansion of tourism locations that are both creative and of high quality is a significant contributor to the expansion of the economy. The stages of tourism development that are influenced by the progression of information technology are represented by the term "smart tourism" in the context of the ecosystem of smart villages. Integrating micro-enterprises with tourist practices is one of the ways that may be utilised to speed up the development of villages. By implementing the concept of smart tourism, tourism integrated with information and communication technology (ICT) can potentially improve both the economics and the services provided by the tourism industry. This research aims to analyse the clustering of smart tourism potential possibilities within the Kemang sub-district. These areas' clustering depends on some variables, including infrastructure (access for tourists), innovation, technology, local wisdom, distinctiveness, and economic conditions. The Fuzzy C-Means (FCM) clustering approach is utilised. A Geographic Information System (GIS) is utilised to facilitate the process of determining which villages are included in each cluster. This is done to describe potential areas better. The value of the cluster evaluation using the Davies Boulding Index (DBI) obtained is 0.3819, and the number of clusters with the best performance is 3. There is a very potential cluster in Cluster 3, comprising two villages (Kemang and Atangsanjaya). A potential cluster was also detected in Cluster 2, comprising three villages (Tegal, Pondokudik, and Parakanjaya). Furthermore, a fairly potential cluster was detected in Cluster 1, consisting of three villages (Jampang, Pabuaran, and Bojong). Specifically, in the Kemang sub-district, it is anticipated that the findings of this study will provide an overview of possible sites for implementing environmentally conscious tourism.

This study looks at the role of community entrepreneurial development in mediating the linkages between geographical conditions, local wisdom, and traditional culture on the sustainability of tourism villages. In this study, this hypothesis was evaluated quantitatively. Respondents filled out a questionnaire as a research instrument. Village officials, the Tourist Awareness Group (Pokdarwis), and the community in Cikolelet Tourism Village, Banten Province, participated in this research. 140 individuals were selected for this study using purposive sampling, and the data were analyzed using a structural equation model (SEM). According to the conclusions of this study, geographical conditions, local wisdom, and traditional culture have a beneficial and statistically significant influence on community entrepreneurial development but do not directly affect the sustainability of tourism villages. Community entrepreneurial development influences the sustainability of tourist villages. Furthermore, community entrepreneurial development mediates the relationship between geographical conditions, local wisdom, and traditional culture on the sustainability of tourist villages. These findings recommend that tourism stakeholder cooperation between village officials, the Tourist Awareness Group, and the community must collaborate in the sustainability of the tourist village. This paper offers novelty by investigating community entrepreneurial development variables as mediators of the influence of geographical conditions, local wisdom, and traditional culture on the sustainability of tourist villages with exploratory quantitative analysis. In contrast, previous research only used explorative qualitative analysis, at least in the tourism sector, from an Indonesian perspective.

Data analysis techniques with descriptive statistics and Structural Equations Model using Partial Least Square. The results showed that: women's empowerment and entrepreneurial orientation influences business networks. Entrepreneurial orientation, business networks and bricolage have a significant effect on business performance. Empowering women has no significant effect on business performance.

This study aims to evaluate the performance of microfinance institutions and local wisdom-based management concept. Quantitative approach is used in this study. The data analysis technique used in this study are quantitative and qualitative data analyses, which include the stakeholders and key performance indicators (KPI). Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) tech-nique is used to determine the quality, Objective Matrix is used for scoring, and Traffic Light System is used for grouping in colors. The results of the study show that not only strategies, processes, and capabilities influence on the Lembaga Perkreditan Desa (LPD) (village credit institution) of Depeha Village, but also the stakeholder’s satisfaction and contributions also influence the LPD.
