Strategi Pengembangan Sentra Kerajinan dan Pariwisata:

Dari Kasongan ke Seto City


Diskusi mingguan PSPD UGM pada hari Jum’at tanggal 4 Februari 2011 diisi oleh Muhammad Rum, asisten peneliti Jurusan Ilmu Hubungan Internasional UGM, yang mempresentasikan riset beliau mengenai Strategi Pengembangan Sentra Kerajinan dan Pariwisata: Dari Kasongan ke Seto City.

Kasongan (Bantul, Provinsi DIY) dan Seto City (Prefektur Aichi, Jepang) memiliki beberapa persamaan utama terkait situasi sentra kerajinan dan pariwisata. Pertama, Kasongan dan Seto City sama-sama mudah dicapai dari ibukota, dekat dengan daerah utama pariwisata (Yogyakarta dan Nagoya), serta adanya kemudahan akses transportasi (terutama dekat dengan bandara). Artinya, mereka sama-sama memiliki potensi pariwisata yang cukup baik. Kedua, budaya membuat kerajinan telah ada di dalam masyarakat sejak ratusan tahun, dan memiliki nilai sejarah karena berkembang pada peristiwa bersejarah. Industri kerajinan di Kasongan mulai terkenal sejak digunakan untuk membantu pasukan Diponegoro saat melawan Belanda, sedangkan industri di Seto City mulai terkenal saat digunakan untuk membantu pasukan Oda Nobunaga pada zaman Edo. Artinya, sentra kerajinan memiliki potensi karena di dalam masyarakat pun telah ada budaya membuat kerajinan serta ditambah dengan nilai sejarah yang dapat dioptimalkan sebagai nilai tambah bagi produk kerajinan yang dihasilkan.
