Abstrak

Tourism is one of the most effective tools for economic development.
According to Haryana, 4.5% of Indonesia's total GDP was significantly
contributed to by tourism in 2018. The World Economic Forum ranked
Indonesia 40th in the Travel and Tourism Competitiveness Index (TTCI)
out of 140 countries in 2019. Nonetheless, this contribution decreased
significantly during the covid-19 pandemic outbreak in 2020. Mursalin et.
al. argued that the tourism industry was hardest hit by the pandemic's
impact on economic growth. Understanding this phenomenon, it became
intriguing to investigate the gradual tourism revival and livelihood assets
of local tourism-based enterprise in Wisata Lembah Mbencirang by the
Village Owned Enterprises (BUMDES). This study's objectives included
identifying and analyzing the core problematization and livelihood assets
of locally based entrepreneurship, as well as its community impact. This
study was conducted in Kebontunggul Village, Mojokerto, East Java. This
study employed a variety of methods. Several analytical tools, including
pentagon assets and sustainable livelihood assets, were utilized. The
results demonstrated that local entrepreneurship had both positive and
negative effects on communities. The vulnerability context that shook
people's livelihoods must be overcome by bolstering social and human
capitals to maintain resilience, as well as the government's commitment
to enhancing policies pertaining to locally-based entrepreneurship. In
conceiving and ensuring sustainability, the community implemented a
variety of livelihood strategies through adaptation. When feasible,
livelihood adaptation would continue, and incomes would increase.
