As a background of this research, the oral tradition is an ancestral heritage that influences various aspects of a society's life as an identity of local wisdom. Apart from containing moral messages, oral traditions are often linked to the original character. Also, oral traditions cannot be separated from their role in the tourism industry. Many tourist objects are offered because they have fascinating oral traditions to attract tourists. The role of oral traditions in the tourism industry should be mapped to develop various sectors. This study aims to identify the role of oral traditions in developing ecotourism in Indonesia and Japan. The method used in this research is literature study and interviews. The result shows that in Indonesia and Japan, oral traditions still immensely attract tourists to come to the tourist spot. Many tourists who come to ecotourism spots want to enjoy vacation or to recover from any disease. This condition makes the government and the local civil conserve their ecotourism spot. In conclusion, this study indicates four roles of oral traditions in the development of ecotourism, namely as a means of attracting tourists' interest, as a means of developing tourist areas, as a means of developing tourism products, and as a means of developing human resources.

Oman has a well-established history of fishing where most of her citizens depend directly or indirectly on fishing or fishing-related activities. Oman's long coastline is home to several inhabitants involved mainly in artisanal or traditional fisheries. Commercial fishing is largely prohibited in Oman barring a few regions. Batinah coast forms one of the biggest inhabited regions for fishermen in Oman. Although fishermen in the Batinah coast account for approximately 20% of the national catch, they face poor income conditions. This chapter gives a descriptive account of fishermen on the Batinah coast of Oman and the reasons affecting their growth and development. This chapter observes that the situation of Oman is different than the other developing countries. Fishermen face problems in earning a decent livelihood, and their expenses affect their savings and advancement. The Government of Oman is concerned with the state of fishery in the region and has put many efforts into developing a decent infrastructure across the region. However, not much emphasis has been placed on the human resources and enterprise. While fishermen need training and interactions with the government officials, government needs to be more observant and concerned about the not-so-well-off fishermen. The role of facilitators such as training institutions and banks becomes important in imparting fishermen the necessary skills and tools of productivity. All the facilitators and stakeholders need to come closer, sharing a common platform to advance fishing activity and its scope in the region.

Tourism is very necessary to continue to be developed to improve the economy in Indonesia and increase the position of the country geographically, which is very strategic for tourism and the world economy. For this reason, the ability to communicate in English is absolutely necessary, in order to compete with workers from other countries, so that they can contribute to the improvement of the national economy. The ability to communicate in English is a strategic sector in the development of highly competitive human resources in the tourism industry sector and in the global economic community. By having good English communication skills, it will be easier to grab market share in the tourism industry sector and the economic sector. The tourism sector as one of the prime industrial development is developed in order to further increase the rate of national development.

This chapter describes how Tourism 4.0 is a concept that combines tourism and the fourth industrial revolution, and although the literature in this field is very scarce, this concept has been explored in some research projects, such as the government-sponsored research project in Slovenian tourism. People with various kinds of access requirements represent a combination of challenges and opportunities for the tourism industry. Tourism 4.0 set up the main goals of making tourism accessible to everyone at any time. Therefore, this new phenomenon may have an essential role in the development of accessible tourism. The adoption of technological components in accessible tourism enables the development of a new technological solution that can facilitate access to tourism products for disabled people, contributing to the development of accessible tourism. The new term Accessible@Tourism 4.0 is the answer to the role of the fourth industrial revolution in accessible tourism, emphasizing the effect of Industry 4.0 components in the tourism sector.

Anthropological fieldwork in rural settlements on the west coast of India has unraveled the close connection between lived experiences, spaces and objects. These “inalienable possessions”, in the words of Annette Weiner, help reconstruct the past through the supplementation of oral traditions. Following this vein, the paper attempts to mesh together the material culture and oral histories to establish the provenance for the plethora of memorials in the state of Gujarat. A series of oral narratives collected in Western India since 2014 has highlighted the role of medieval memorial stelae that commemorate the deceased heroes of war and their wives and companions. This paper creates a niche for the Gujarati oral tradition as provenance for the continued veneration of these memorials. Field observations from 2014–2016 and notes from research in Gujarat from 1985 onwards enabled the study of patterns in the oral preservation of literature. A systematic documentation of the existing stelae and associated oral traditions has informed the views in this paper. The paper speaks to all levels of interaction and the making of an identity for the memorial stones that are unique to the state of Gujarat. A case for the inclusion of such rich material in museum displays is made in connection with this case study of the memorial stelae in Gujarat.

Kampung Tajur is a unique village located in the village of Pasanggrahan, Purwakarta. Kampung Tajur has a variety of ecotourism potentials, but Kampung Tajur needs to improve the quality of service, especially in terms of guiding services. Therefore, this study was conducted to determine the interpretation of the material for guidance in Kampung Tajur. The method used in this research is descriptive qualitative method. Data collection techniques used in this research are observation, interviews and literature study. This research has several key informants in Kampung Tajur, such as tour guides and informants from the tourism industry, pokdarwis and community leaders in Kampung Tajur. Based on the research results, it was found that at this time the guides in Kampung Tajur did not have any reference material for interpretation. Interpretation is only done as it is. Meanwhile, the development of interpretation material faces several obstacles, one of which is the lack of human resources as a tour guide, especially as a guide for foreign tourists, so it is necessary to make a bilingual guidebook containing interpretation material for guides. Therefore, it is necessary to produce a bilingual guidebook containing translated material for tour guides. This is necessary to anticipate differences in interpretation between guides and clarity of interpretation for tourists.

El diseño y formulación de las políticas públicas destinadas al uso y/o promoción de lenguas extranjeras o políticas lingüísticas públicas no contempla un ejercicio participativo de los estamentos de la sociedad que se verían beneficiados o afectados por la implementación de lamisma, ya que se ha dejado en manos de los expertos en el tema la responsabilidad de elaborar ese tipo de políticas (como el Plan Nacional de Bilingüismo). El papel de los ciudadanos comoparticipantes en la elaboración y/o evaluación de las políticas lingüísticas públicas para la promoción y enseñanza de lenguas extranjeras es prácticamente inexistente y el Estado colombianono ha establecido unas estrategias de participación sobre el tema de políticas lingüísticas relacionadas con las lenguas extranjeras; por ello, sería interesante utilizar el Diálogo Democráticocomo una herramienta participativa para el diseño de una política aterrizada en el contexto, involucrando a todos los actores que puedan beneficiarse o verse afectados por la implementaciónde una política de este tipo.Palabras clave: políticas públicas, políticas lingüísticas, promoción, lenguas extranjeras, participación ciudadana, diálogo democrático.AbstractThe design and writing of public policies aimed at the use and/or promotion of foreign languages or public linguistic policies does not take into account a participatory effort from the differentgroups of society that will by benefitted or affected by their implementation; on the contrary, the responsibility of developing these policies (such as the Colombian National Bilinguism Plan) hasbeen left in the hands of experts in the topic. The role of citizens as participants in the development and/or evaluation of public linguistic policies for the promotion and teaching of foreign languagesis practically inexistent and the Colombian State has not established participation strategies. This paper proposes the use of democratic dialogue as a participatory tool for the design of morecontextualized policies, that involve all the agents benefitted or affected by their implementation. The most appropriate way for the government and society to come together is through the exerciseof those essential rights that allow and guarantee optimum conditions for dialogue, debate, criticism, dissent, and open discussion among parties.Key words: public policies, linguistic policies, promotion, foreign languages, participatory citizenship, democratic dialogue.

Garbage is a big problem in Medan City. Therefore, this study aims to find out how the role of government in empowering the community through waste management. In this study, data collection techniques were carried out through interviews, observation, and literature study. The analysis technique used is an interactive qualitative. Qualitative data analysis is carried out interactively and continues continuously until it is complete so that the data is already saturated. The results showed that the government did not have a special program for the development of this garbage bank. When the government has not optimally developed future development plans, the community will also feel pessimistic and unsure of the existence of this garbage bank. The community is less interested in getting involved in this garbage bank. The community felt that the training they had received was only knowledge and did not have a great opportunity to be developed. This relates to the statement that one of the obstacles in implementing community empowerment is the rejection of the community itself because the community does not have confidence.
