Keywords:
Tradition-based tourism, Sedekah laut, Economic development, PolicyAbstract
This study explores the intricate relationships between community perceptions, modernization levels, charitable acts, government policies, and local economic growth. Utilizing a robust structural equation modelling approach, the research aims to unravel the complex dynamics of how societal beliefs and modernization initiatives influence government decision-making and, subsequently, economic development. The methodology involves a survey that captures the nuanced perceptions of individuals and their views on modernization efforts. The results indicate a significant interplay where community perspectives and modernization significantly impact government policies. These policies, in turn, are shown to have a direct effect on local economic prosperity. The findings suggest that inclusive governance, responsive to community and modernization metrics, can serve as a catalyst for economic growth. The conclusion posits that a symbiotic relationship between government actions and societal modernization efforts is pivotal for sustainable local economic development.
