This research uses a qualitative approach and data collection is conducted through literature searches, in-depth interviews with business operators of the Jeep Lava Tour, one of the owners of the coffee shops in Merapi, the officers of Department of Tourism in Sleman regency, and the Office of Cangkringan (local government).
