Abstract

Many people believe that organizing festivals in the border area will increase the
popularity of the border area and improve the socio-economic conditions of the
border communities. But in the case of Sota border area, it is debatable. This
paper aims to analyze the views of the community and local government about
the border festival which was held by the central government in Sota, Merauke,
Papua in 2016 and subsequently explored their views on what border festival
should be like. To answer the question, a Focus Group Discussion was conducted
with community leaders in Sota, activists in Merauke, officials from the Tourism
Office, the Culture Office, the Notional Border Management Agency in Merauke,
students and lecturers from Musamus University. They stated that the festival
which had been conducted by the central government seemed in a hurry and
lacked coordination with the local government. They also regretted that. the
festival was dominated by artists from Jakarta, while the local community was less
involved. As a result, local cultural and economic potentials are not fully exposed.
There are three things that should be considered to promote the border area
through festivals: 1) the social, cultural and economic potential of the local
community must be the main points promoted, 2) the widespread use of mass
media, and 3) the strengthening of networks between the community and the
local university, and local government for continual assistance.
Keywords: border area, border festival, promotion, local community, local
government
