摘要
Kropakan Hamlet in Mranggen District, Klaten Regency, Central Java Province, Indonesia, has diverse archaeological findings from Ancient Javanese civilization. The archaeological findings are in an attractive landscape with local people who care about cultural heritage and tourism. However, efforts to empower various elements of society to promote archaeological and geomorphological uniqueness within the tourism framework still need to be improved. This study question is (1) How to identify and classify the typology of archaeological remains and geomorphosite as geocultural heritage? (2) How to empower local communities to play an active role in geocultural tourism management? (3) What are the most effective strategies to be implemented in the Kropakan community to manage geocultural heritage as heritage tourism? These research questions are fulfilled by surveying and mapping for archaeology and geomorphology, archaeological and geomorphological documentation, interviews with local communities, and participatory workshops. The results of the study are the empowerment of community-based heritage tourism and geocultural heritage management based on the classification and typology of archaeological remains and geomorphosite in Kropakan Hamlet. In addition, Kropakan Hamlet can be a pilot for geocultural tourism development and attract tourists with various interests.
