Candirejo is a traditional Javanese village that has been involved in a pilot project for community-based tourism for revitalisation purposes since 2003. Villagers are highly involved while government units, NPOs, academic institutions, and private sectors that support them. Different endeavours include a tourism cooperative formed by villagers due to the influx of tourists related to the opening of the UNESCO site\u2014 Borobudur Temple Compounds\u2014in 1983, and the restoration and management of of the Compounds. Villagers cooperate to create tours for tourists to experience Javanese culture and day-to-day activities; they also share land resources that act as event venues for tourists.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Establishing Village Association as Commoning Structure<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Although it is not the conventional village association, villagers from Candirejo have their own form of commoning structure. Villagers aged 17 and above are eligible to participate in the election of a village chief. Rather than forming a dedicated association with selected members, the village holds selapanan<\/em>, a forum that is conducted every 35 days to discuss problems within the community.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Forming New Models of Rural Practices<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Villagers formed Desa Wisata Candirejo<\/em> (Candirejo Tourism Village Cooperative) to take care of tourism matters and offer cultural attractions and activities for visitors. Villagers help create tourism experiences, such as cooking lessons, homestay programmes, traditional arts performances. The Cooperative hosts regular meetings to ensure villagers are involved. The community manages tourism activities as commons and allocates land resources for different needs while defending common benefits of villagers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
