and sustainable tourism practices through partnerships and bilateral agreements (Aall, 2014; and Dagron and Tufte,
2006).
Training
Training is a means of effective-communication between the public and the government that can be done through
volunteer training to improve their skills to communicate sustainable development programs with community
participation in supporting environmental and social policies of the government (UNICEF, 2005).
In accession, training is also of effective communications, and most often exercised in the form of how to deal
with behavior problems' environmentally damaging tourism, which includes conservation, evaluation, and
development plan of sustainability (Tiger et al., 2008).
In terms of sustainable coastal tourism, training is useful for balancing the knowledge, competencies, skills
transfer, learning methods and information-transfer of individuals in the group learning method that includes the
exchange knowledge, counseling and individual workshops on managing all about sustaining coastal-tourism.
Training is also would be a learning strategy that influenced the development of competence and how synthesis
competence skills transfer into a new formation (Garavan and O′Cinneide, 1994; and Lean, 1998).
Interactive learning
Interactive-learning is a learning process that is determined by an interactive-learning environment of the data
received, and the outcomes can be felt in the achiever of a person's skill and increase knowledge in understanding
people's attitudes (Liawa and Huang, 2013).
The process with increased control can simulate the direct-learning model that requires customization on a
community assessment and expectations of sustainable coastal-tourism in order to create a favorable environment
in this learning process (Aggarwal and Bento, 2000).
Withal, the learning is produced based on the knowledge of people in the process of interactive learning about
environmental conservation of coastal tourism in the form of instruction, which underscores the importance of
local community organizations in managing interest and reading them in the empowerment program that
accommodates the participation in human evolution and ecological sustainability that contribute on their
economies (Dagron and Tufte, 2006).
Methodology
The research was conducted from August 2015 – August 2016 in one year’s study in Karawang regency, West
Java, Indonesia, descriptive, clear questions, and stratified. The 270 respondents are a local community, several
travel agents, tourists, and related institutions. A data was collected by using stratified sampling and by using the
triangulation technique: Open observation; Structure interview, and Interview. Moreover, in terms of
social-communication, the data was tabulated by content analysis (Cohen, 1960) that transforms from qualitative
to quantitative approach (Henderson, 1991): Firstly, tabulated the attribute of social-communication: informing,
raising awareness, training, and interactive-learning about sustainable-coastal-tourism.
Secondly, this study searched the lowest attributes of it based on frequency of Kappa coefficients of
social-communication and explores more deeply the key factors that influence their performance. The attributes of
social-communication: Informing, provision of advice can be done either through communication, and promotion
of a friendly coast-management in developing beach-tourism is led by both non-governmental organizations and
government (The World Leisure Organization, 2008); Create Awareness, establishing awareness and promoting
sustainable-tourism in the conservation of the environment and culture of the area needed a financial assistance
needed to support conservation programs in coast areas (Aall 2014); Training, balancing the knowledge,
competencies of skills transfer, learning methods in managing all about sustainability, information-transfer of
distinctive in the group learning, exchange knowledge, and counseling and individual workshops (Garavan and
O′Cinneide, 1994; and Lean, 1998); and Interactive learning is a learning process that is determined by the
