Inclusive Development of Multicultural Tourism: A Study on Tourist Villages in Yogyakarta through the Communicative Constitution of Organization (CCO) Framework

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to examine how CCO practices operate within inclusive development in multicultural tourism in Yogyakarta City. The objects of this research are Cokrodiningratan, Sosromenduran, and Prenggan urban villages. This study employs an exploratory qualitative method using in-depth interviews with informants from the village tourism organizations in the three villages. The findings show that inclusive development communication practices through the four CCO flows in these villages display diverse dynamics, yet overall function quite well. Although the level of participation among culturally marginalized groups varies—such as the Chinese community in Sosromenduran who tend to focus more on business activities, the Kalang ethnic group in Prenggan whose involvement is mostly symbolic, and the Chinese community in Cokrodiningratan who are actively engaged in organizational management—the overall process still reflects collective efforts to create participatory spaces. Role allocation, activity coordination, and relationships with external institutions indicate that multicultural tourism in Yogyakarta is not solely supported by economic and cultural resources, but also by communication practices that are inclusive, reflective, and sustainability-oriented.
