Patterns of Social Relations in Tourism Institutions in Togean Islands, Central Sulawesi, Indonesia
摘要
This chapter aims an overview of the state of the pattern of social institutional relations that exist in the Togean Islands and how the dynamics of social relations among actors. The complexity of managing institutions is one of the biggest challenges in managing tourist destinations, especially when tourist destinations are jointly managed by agencies, whose tourist destinations are within the protected area of a conservation zone. This chapter gains a deeper understanding of why the promising theoretical claims about the potential benefits collaboration and cooperation among actors are supported by empirical evidence and how actors deal with conflicts that arise in institutions. Eleven informants were interviewed from the public, private, and community sectors to participate using a semistructured interview questionnaire. This chapter finds three main categories in patterns of social relations activities in tourism institutional: first, the social relations of institutional cooperation; second, factors underlying these social relations patterns; and third, how conflicts among actors are resolved. Unlike most research, which is limited to two institutional relationships, or actors like between tourists and hosts, this research leads to an elaborate study of other institutions and the effect of collective institutional. The pattern of social relationship in tourism institutional is a new context in understanding institutions and how they are described using sociological expertise based on the context of social relations theory. This context simplifies the process of social relations that occur in the field, especially in the context of institutional management in national park areas, and limited number of informants and theoretical studies that must be updated continuously, thus creating a more ideal social relations-based institutional model in every tourist destination.
