Public Signs in Komodo National Park, Flores-Ntt: A Linguistic Landscape Study

Public signs in Komodo National Park (Taman Nasional Komodo) are predominantly bilingual, combining Indonesian and English to convey information effectively. The study identified nine distinct types of signs—including place names, warnings, and historical markers—serving purposes such as information dissemination, symbolic representation, and education. While monolingual signs exist, the prevalence of bilingual signage suggests a strategic approach to cater to both local and international visitors. The research employed qualitative methods, systematically photographing and analyzing every public sign in the park using data reduction, display, verification, and conclusion techniques.
