Abstract
The regional innovation system has an important role in integrating relevant stakeholders towards time-based regional superior product interventions. The Magelang City regional innovation system already has a roadmap for the 2016-2021 period, during which period community empowerment emerged which is in line with the programs developed in regional innovation.
The study aims to explore and analyze the regional innovation system in Magelang City and the empowerment carried out by the community at the location of the regional innovation system. Location The regional innovation system is in Kampung Tidar Campur, Magelang Selatan District, Magelang City, Central Java Province, Indonesia.
The research method uses a qualitative description with secondary data sources from the Research and Development Agency for the City of Magelang, while the primary data comes from the community in Tidar Campur Village. Data collection was carried out by observing and interviewing respondents, namely tourism figures and actors in Tidar Campur Village.
Community-based tourism is a tool for analyzing studies with the results of the study finding that the Magelang City regional innovation system has been able to encourage community empowerment by forming Katagie as an artificial tourist destination that can complement and adapt the Regional Innovation System Roadmap. The regional innovation system can make the Mixed Tidar Area an artificial tourist destination by leveraging existing potential, such as the Tofu Center, Tofu Waste Processing Installation, and Integrated Waste Treatment Site.
The regional innovation system can encourage the emergence of community empowerment in the field of tourism in Kampung Tidar Campur which is useful in increasing income, such as Kampung Warna Warni, Taman Anggrek, and the process towards Village Tourism Technology and Education. Community empowerment grows and develops with community empowerment in the tourism sector.
