Interpretive plan for tourism village: A case study of Pasrujambe Village, Lumajang

Abstract

Abstract Pasrujambe village in Lumajang Regency has natural and cultural attractions, which made the Regency government appoint it as a tourism village. This study aimed to develop an interpretive plan to support the tourism development of Pasrujambe Tourism Village. Data on potential resources for the interpretive plan was collected in March – May 2023 using interviews, field observations and literature studies. The interpretive plan covers the theme, selection of potential objects for interpretation, interpretive scenario/script and interpretive map. The theme raised for this plan is “Pasrujambe, a miniature of Lumajang Regency with a wealth of sustainable natural and cultural resources”. Within the theme, several objects were selected, include physical objects (Watu Lapis waterfall, Kedung Guwo waterfall and natural scenery); biological objects (bamboo, betel nut, sengon tree, balsa tree, robusta coffee, and cardamom, as well as animal species including Senduro goat and Javan hawk-eagle); socio-cultural objects (village charity and several types of arts including jaran slining dance, reog, karawitan, and wayang); and historical objects (history of Beji Patirtan temple, Loji Mbesuk Sat building, and the origin of Pasrujambe). These interpretation objects are presented in five scenarios/scripts, some representing each type of object while others representing a combination of objects and an interpretation map.
