INTRODUCTION
The Republic of Indonesia is a unitary
state in the form of a republic (Satrio, 2017),
with the aim of realizing a just, prosperous
and prosperous society in the life of society,
nation and state (Periani et al., 2022). In
order to expedite the implementation of
development, as it is known that the state
has been divided into provincial areas
(Rahmawati & Sulistyaningrum, 2022) and
provincial areas are further divided into
smaller regions, namely regencies and
cities (Setiawan & Sediyono, 2022), which
have the authority to manage their own
households (Hariyanto, 2022). The powers
of these regions are all regulated by law (Q.
Liu et al., 2022). So that the existing
authorities in the regions can be carried out
optimally in managing their households, it
is necessary to have sufficient sources of
financing (Effendi & Negara, 2022).
However, considering that not all sources
of financing can be provided to the regions
(Derkenbaeva et al., 2022), the regions
must be able to explore the potential of
existing financial resources in their regions
that have not been explored, in accordance
with the applicable laws and regulations
(Allen et al., 2022). To realize targeted and
sustainable regional development (Y. Liu et
al., 2022), it is necessary to take a policy to
increase income from the non-oil and gas
sector which has been under-exploited so
far (Orekan & Ajani, 2022). One aspect that
is included in this sector is an increase in
the tourism sector (Mursalina et al., 2022),
because the tourism sector is a sector of
income for the region which is quite large
(Budhi et al., 2022). Through the tourism
sector, local governments, especially the
community, will be able to increase income
for those who live around tourist
attractions (Masriyah & Hermawan, 2022).
For local governments in the context of
implementing regional developments
(Biriescu & Babaita, 2014), in order to be
achieved and sustainable, funding sources
are one of the determining factors in
achieving the desired goals. With the
existing authority, the Regional
Government must be observant in
exploring the potential of regional wealth it
has in order to increase Regional Original
Income so that it can finance development
in the area. Experience so far shows that in
almost all regions the percentage of PAD is
relatively small. In general, the APBD of a
region is dominated by contributions from
the central government and other
contributions, which are regulated by laws
and regulations. Of the various tourist
objects in West Kutai Regency above,
Gemuruh Waterfall located in West Kutai,
Sekolaq Darat District is one that has not
received serious attention from the
Regency Government. Gemuruh Waterfall,
which is located in Sekolaq Darat, is indeed
intended for tourism development in West
Kutai Regency. This is in accordance with
the 2019/2020 West Kutai Regency Spatial
Plan which makes the Gemuruh Waterfall
area a natural tourism development. And
further stipulated in the strategic plan of
West Kutai Regency. Based on the results of
studies conducted on Featured Tourism
Objects, namely tourism objects that can be
used as sources of regional income. Efforts
to plan development in terms of physical
and supporting facilities at Gemuruh
Waterfall attractions such as shelters and
other supporting buildings have indeed
1816 | Analysis of The Program for Providing Public Space for The Tourism Office in The
Development of Tourism Objects
been carried out by the Regional
Government since 2020, but the results of
the planning process are not in accordance
with what is outlined, both in RT and RW as
well as West Kutai Regency Strategic Plan.
This can be seen from the condition of the
Gemuruh Waterfall and the existing
facilities, both those built by the local
community using non-governmental funds
such as shelters and other public places. To
make Gemuruh Waterfall a mainstay tourist
attraction for the West Kutai Regency
Government, it needs to get serious
attention from the Regional Government.
From the conditions of the Thundering
Waterfall above, it appears that there has
been no development realized from the
West Kutai Regency Government, in this
case the West Kutai Regency Tourism
Office. This can be seen from the stalls
(wooden) around the waterfall which tend
to be random and not neatly arranged and
can also be seen from the lack of facilities
and lack of maintenance of tourist facilities
causing most of them to be in poor
condition or damaged thereby reducing
their attractiveness such as souvenir
houses, guesthouses. and the clearly
uncomfortable WC and MCK conditions.
In addition to these problems,
another problem is the strong erosion of
the waterfall which causes damage to the
surroundings of the waterfall, which over
time clearly destroys the natural beauty of
Gemuruh Waterfall. The problems above
are some of the problems that exist in the
Gemuruh Waterfall area, in addition to
other problems. From the conditions
described above, this is clearly not in line
with the previously determined
commitments contained in the Strategic
Plan, which makes Gemuruh Waterfall a
Natural Tourism Development Area.
From the explanation above, the
existing public infrastructure and facilities
in the Gemuruh Waterfall area are very
supportive for tourism development. The
development of tourism potential as well as
professional and serious handling is
expected to increase the number of tourist
flows visiting Gemuruh Waterfall. Although
the goal of developing this tourist
attraction is domestic tourism, if the
number of tourists increases, it is not
impossible that the increase in the number
of tourists will provide space or leisure for
this tourism sector to contribute to PAD in
the coming years. Although the condition
of Gemuruh Waterfall has various
shortcomings in providing services for
visitors, because this tourist attraction is the
only tourist attraction for the people of
West Kutai and its surroundings, this
waterfall is still visited by visitors. The
development of the number of tourist flows
and the amount of income received by
traders can be said to be quite good. This is
considering the condition of the Gemuruh
Waterfall area is still classified as the lack of
available supporting facilities. The potential
for an increase in tourist flows is very open
with a targeted development effort, by
looking at the potential that exists in the
area. An increase in the number of tourist
flows clearly affects the level of income. If
that happens, the contribution to the PAD
of West Kutai Regency will be realized.
Because so far, there has not been the
slightest contribution of Rumbling
Waterfall to the PAD of West Kutai Regency.
Of course, every service in the West
Kutai district government has programs to
Yulianus Natanuel, Ida Bagus Made Agung Dwi Jatenaya, Musmuliadi | 1817
carry out its duties and functions. These
programs are expected to achieve the goals
set by the local government. One of them
is the Tourism Office, West Kutai Regency,
in an effort to carry out its functions and
duties in accordance with the provisions of
the law. The West Kutai Regency Tourism
Office establishes various programs in
order to achieve the goals set by the
Regional Government.
This study aims to analyze the
implementation of the Gemuruh Waterfall
Tourism Object Development Program
carried out by the West Kutai Regency
Tourism Office and to analyze the obstacles
in the implementation of the thundering
waterfall tourism object development
program. This research can be useful as
information material for anyone who wants
to know about the planning process for the
development of Gemuruh Waterfall, which
has been carried out by the West Kutai
Regency government so far and the
problems that exist in Gemuruh Waterfall
and as information material for the
Regency Government in implementing the
program, that has been set by the Tourism
office, which will then be considered for
decision making in the development of the
Gemuruh Waterfall tourist attraction.

has been given to the Office, there is no
LPJ (Accountability Report) from the
relevant Service in the use of Funds,
people who are less cooperative and
participate in socializing tourism objects

regarding the Analysis of the Gemuruh
Waterfall Tourism Object Development
Program by the Tourism Office of West
Kutai Regency, the researchers drew the
conclusion that after each indicator was
described, then each recapitulation result
of each indicator was combined and
searched for the average and percentage ,

measurements in this study were 68 people
or 65.38% of all respondents answered that
the Implementation of the Rumbling
Waterfall Tourism Object Development
Program by the Tourism Office was still in
the Poor category. It is said to be not good
because many tourism object development
programs are not running according to the
planned activities. The non-
implementation of these programs is due
to the lack of attention and supervision
from the local government on the
performance of the West Kutai Regency
Tourism Office, besides the lack of
seriousness on the part of the agency in
implementing the development of these
attractions, it is also a fundamental
problem so that tourism object
development programs, especially
Waterfalls Rumbling is not realized to the
maximum.
