Description
Global Elective - A study of Sustainable Tourism Development Indonesia
Subject learning objectives (SLOs)
On successful completion of this subject, students should be able to:
| 1. | Engage in rigorous methods of analysis through contextual observation. |
|---|---|
| 2. | Interact with and understand cultural diversity. |
| 3. | Engage with ideas of event, programme and spatial organisation. |
| 4. | Develop formal and informal methods of visual and verbal communication and presentation. |
| 5. | Realise and present design concepts within a new context. |
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs)
This subject also contributes to the following Course Intended Learning Outcomes:
- Ability to develop and establish an informed and ethical understanding and/or position toward social, technical and environmental practices (A.2)
- Ability to recognise cultural diversity, including Indigenous, gender and multicultural perspectives (A.3)
- Ability to communicate ideas effectively, including oral, written, visual, analogue and digital presentations (2D and 3D) (C.2)
- Ability to independently select and apply appropriate research methodologies to carry out investigative study (R.1)
- Ability to analyse, formulate and synthesise complex ideas, arguments and rationales and use initiative to explore alternatives (R.2)
Contribution to the development of graduate attributes
The term CAPRI is used for the five Design, Architecture and Building faculty graduate attribute categories where:
C = communication and groupwork
A = attitudes and values
P = practical and professional
R = research and critique
I = innovation and creativity
Course intended learning outcomes (CILOs) are linked to these categories using codes (e.g. C-1, A-3, P-4, etc.).
Teaching and learning strategies
This subject contributes to the students' learning as follows:
1. To expand the complexity of design practice through a set of specific strategies.
2. To intensify theoretical speculation through texts and lectures.
3. To explore configurations between context, objects and bodies.
4. To demonstrate competency in advanced and engaging communication methods.
Intensive Global Studio in an overseas location, followed by online submissions of written and visual reports.
Students will explore international practice via travel, research and studio work. The main objectives for this subject are the development of a broader cultural awareness through exposure to different societies abroad and to engage directly with institutions and students from related design disciplines. This program emphasises observational drawing, international networking and participation in a wide range of cultural activities to build a global perspective within an individual's design practice. The Global Studio provides students with the opportunity to immerse themselves in another design and educational culture.
Field trips / Site Visits
The tour will include visits to remote and environmentaly sensitive locations in Indonesia. This block-mode subject is delivered through a group of site visits and involves self-directed learning. The site visits form the focus for discussion forums that inform individual investigation of sites visited. As well as noting discussion there is an expectation that students record aspects of each experience visually to include in their reflective diary. After individual visits, students are required to reflect on the knowledge gained from other resources compared to that experience.
Collaborative learning
UTS believes that collaborative peer learning enhances students' understanding of subject areas. Students are encouraged to work in discussion clusters and teams throughout the tour to support each other's learning.
Online coursework
A number of online resources are accessible from UTS Online.
Pre-readings provide a framework for understanding and avenues for expression related to the experiences on the tour. The tour will be supported by a list of recommended readings which will situate the conceptual rationale for the tour and encourage broader understanding. Online resources assist in the strategic selection of presentation topics and provide support for developing and refining ideas.
Studio / Practical work / Assessment
Students will undertake a practical engagement with the tour through the creative outcomes specified in the assessment tasks. See additional handouts for more details. All Assessment briefs are accessible from UTS Online. The subject is designed based on progressive development across its assessment tasks. In this sense it is wise for students to engage with their academic leaders and be aware of the work of other students.
Feedback
Because of the intensity of the trip only low-stakes verbal feedback is offered during the study tour. It is the student’s responsibility to record any feedback received during critique sessions and meetings. Written feedback and summative grades are given through ReView.
Content (topics)
This subject includes the following issues and topics:
1. Sustainable Tourism Development
2. Comparative analysis between traditional architectural methodologies and contemporary adaptations
3. Fieldwork in remote and environmentally sensitive locations
4. The impact of rapid tourism development

Assessment task 2: Field Work & Presentation
| Intent: | Task A : Analysis of Existing Tourism Ventures (Resort Audit)
The transect walk is normally conducted during the initial phase of the fieldwork and is a method for collecting both qualitative and quantitative data. The transect is a tool to help us learn more details about environmental, economic and social resources in a given site. A transect is a cross section or line cut through a site and depicts an area along which a number of issues are recorded. The purpose of a transect is to organise and refine spatial information and to summarise local conditions in the area. The information is gathered from direct observation while walking a straight line through the site. The information collected during the walk is used to draw a diagram or map based on which discussions are held amongst the participants. Commonly used in natural resource management and international development, we will be adopting this technique as a means to collect information and develop site analysis of and about your designated resort. The aim of the transect is to locate/assess, map and analyse various aspects of the site that normally go unnoticed. By pursuing such observations and following such leads that may arise during the transect walk, a lot more knowledge and information about the local situation in gained. Task C : Presentation

Minimum requirements
- The Faculty of DAB expects students to attend 80% of all classes for all enrolled subjects. Achievement of the subject's aims is difficult if classes are not attended. Where assessment tasks are to be presented personally in class, attendance is mandatory.
- Pursuant to UTS rule 2.5.1 students who do not satisfy attendance requirements may be refused permission by the Responsible Academic Officer to be considered for assessment for this subject.
- Completion of all assessments.
- Students electing to undertake this subject should be aware that they are required to take part in the mandatory international travel component which incurs additional costs. If this is not possible, an alternative subject should be selected.
