Abstract
The Setu Babakan Betawi cultural village has been designated as a cultural heritage for more than 15 years with the aim of preserving and developing the culture of Betawi community. Betawi cultural village is in the tourism area of Setu Babakan. Setu Babakan tourism area has been designated as a Betawi cultural tourism area but the number of tourist visits is still low due to lack of promotion and tourist destination carrying capacity. This study aimed to identify the tourism area carrying capacity covering several dimensions, namely (1) attraction that also included uniqueness, (2) accessibility, (3) facilities that included amenity and ancillary (4) community involvement, using multidimensional scaling analysis (MDS). The results of the MDS analysis of the dimensions of attractiveness and access were in the good category with values of 78.18 and 79.3. The dimensions of uniqueness and facilities were quite good, with values of 59.74 and 67.65 respectively. While the dimensions of community involvement were in the fair category 44.49. Therefore, to develop and increase tourist visits, community involvement needed to be increased.
