Abstract

The occurrence of the industry 4.0 era is the opportunity for women to actualise themselves and be actively involved in taking part in the world civilisation. This research aims at describing and analysing the profile of women in the tourist village; and the participation and role of women based on the gender equality perspective. The technique applied in this gender analysis is a gender mainstreaming approach, particularly the Longwe Model or Women’s Empowerment Framework. The subject of this research is the women domiciled in the area of the tourism village in the Semarang Regency, Indonesia. The data was collected through in-depth interview, observation, and documentation. The analysis on women’s participation and gender equality includes: initially, women have a low welfare rate but through participation in the tourism village entrepreneurship, they experience an improvement in terms of economy; women’s limited access to resources positions them to be less productive compared to men, thus the access to resources, technology, information, and communication should be made more available for women; women have a lower awareness than men, that the attitude to be critical needs to be developed and men and women should be equally involved in any program conducted in the village; there is an improvement in terms of women’s participation in regard to decision- making and strategic position in the tourist village development; and the ability to control is increased in terms of production factors and to ensure the equality of access to resources and benefit sharing.
