Abstract

This study, entitled "Community Participation in Tourism Management in Samosir Regency, North Sumatera Province" is the result of the research conducted in three districts, namely Simanindo, Panguruan and Onan Rungu. This study is aimed to seek the reasons of the community who are not willing to be in charge in managing tourism in the area. Furthermore, this study is also aimed to explore the efforts conducted by the local government to manage and maintain through social/community enforcement. The next aim of this study is to find out the obstacles faced by the local government in managing and maintaining the social enforcement. This study follows qualitative research method in which data were collected through observation, deep interview and focus group discussion with the selected informants. The result of this study shows that the participation of the community in tourism management is still low. Local government has started managing and maintaining some tourism assets, namely, historical assets, such as : the grave of King Sidabutar, Hutabolon museum, and Chair (made of stone) of Persidanagan Sialogan. However, natural tourism has not been managed yet as expected. Some obstacles faced by the local government firstly is cultural obstacle, in which the assets are regarded/ believed as the ancestor's heritage which belong to the local people. The second obstacle is that of the local belief. It is forbidden by taboo to get access to those assets. It can be concluded that first, the community participation in tourism management is still low. Secondly, the efforts conducted by the local government have not been optimal yet. The obstacles faced by the local government are cultural obstacles and local wisdom.
