Abstrak
Langgher Dhatang menyimbolkan arsitektur agama Islam. Sebagian orang percaya bahwa agama seharusnya tidak boleh dikomersialkan. Akan tetapi, penelitian bertentangan dengan pandangan tersebut. Oleh karena itu, ada tiga hal penting yang menjadi isu dalam penelitian ini: 1) persepsi masyarakat setempat jika Langgher Dhatang dijadikan tujuan wisata religi, 2) pandangan umum terhadap kaitan antara tujuan wisata religi dan keuntungan secara ekonomi, 3) serta strategi yang bisa dilakukan untuk meningkatkan popularitas Langgher Dhatang sehingga pengunjungnya bisa meningkat. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan penelitian kuantitatif. Peneliti melakukan interview dari pintu ke pintu untuk mendapatkan data. Kami berhasil menginterview 13 orang terdekat dengan lokasi Langgher Dhatang. Hal ini disebabkan karena mereka yang terdekat akan terkena dampak secara langsung dari rencana ini. Hasil penelitian ini menujukkan bahwa responden memiliki pandangan yang berbeda terhadap rencana pengembangan Langgher Dhatang sebagai tujuan wisata religi: 38,5% setuju, 30,8% tidak setuju, dan 30,8% netral. Terkait dengan isu ekonomi, responden juga menunjukkan respon yang berbeda. Menariknya, perbedaan persentasenya cukup luas: 69,2% percaya bahwa pengembangan Langgher Dhatang ke arah destinasi wisata memberikan dampak positif terhadap perekonomian mereka, 15,4% justru sebaliknya tidak percaya dampak positif tersebut, dan 14,4% posisi netral.
