Accountability Assessment of Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) from Governance Paradigm (Case Study of Pokdarwis Wonderful Sangiran Indonesia)

A qualitative ethnographic study reveals that the accountability of the tourism awareness group (Pokdarwis) at Sangiran Early Man Site, Indonesia, is significantly influenced by governance paradigms. The research, conducted through participant observation, highlights how traditional governance structures shape Pokdarwis' operations and interactions with stakeholders. Key findings suggest that while Pokdarwis demonstrates a strong commitment to preserving the site's cultural heritage, its accountability is constrained by bureaucratic inefficiencies and limited resources. This study underscores the need for integrated governance strategies to enhance Pokdarwis' effectiveness in managing tourism at UNESCO World Heritage Sites.
