- Abstract
The country’s economic development and social welfare are the main goals of every government in the world. However, long-term development planning and implementation must go through a complex process through various levels which from a macro and micro perspectives do not always produce results for community welfare. There are many cases in Indonesia where government’s initiatives did not match the fields’ realities and much of provided infrastructures were neglected in vain. This paper will specifically discuss how initiatives from above carried out by local governments are able to meet social innovations from below by local community of Kalibiru village, Kulon Progo Regency, Special Region of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Through very specific social engineering based on strong motivation and local dynamics, it is able to release people from poverty by developing sustainable natural tourism village. What factors support this success and how local leaders were able to overcome structural barriers and turn them into strengths and opportunities for community well being.
