| dc.description.abstract | Since being expanded from the West Kutai Regency area in 2013, Mahakam Ulu Regency is transitioning to economic
improvement, especially empowering the creative economy to support local wisdom. The irony is that this region is still pioneering in growing the creative economy, so linkages between creative economy clusters are still limited. Through theseproblems, this paper attempts to uncover the potential of the existing creative economy. Also, the benefits of mapping the potential of the creative economy are: (1) Classifying what strategic commodities are highlighted; (2) Diagnosing problems; and (3) Creates scenario goals and targets to boost the creative economy. The method for analyzing the four contributions of the paper above is operated using a qualitative-descriptive approach. Then, this technique takes the form of a survey and documentation model supported by primary and secondary data. Among the seventeen creative economy categories, there are only six sectors that
are currently running and being developed by the Mahakam Ulu Regency government including: (1) music, (2) handicrafts, (3) fashion, (4) culinary, (5) photography, and (6) performing arts. Thus, it can be seen that Mahakam Ulu Regency requires consistent, long-term hard work, and not just offering a short-term perspective. | en_US |
