THEORY REVIEW
 


STRUCTURATION THEORY


The theory used in this framework is the structuration theory. According to Beverley J. Gibbs (2017), structuration theory is a term in sociology that provides insights on human actions focused on a combination of structure and agency consequences known as the "duality of structure". In addition, structuring theory considers the correlation of context, norms and values, and force, and develops a complex relationship between these various aspects of society.

The duality of the structure is one of Anthony Giddens' theory that had a two arrow which is two main ideas by mean enable or constraint and reproduces for action and perception, produces and shapes for patterns of action. Result of this structure are depending’s on people behavior and decision made (Liz Folger, n.d). Thus, structuration theory explains how human acts and choices are influenced by previous actions and influence potential behavior.

According to the framework model, the development of rural tourism is counted on all variables which are linked to people in the organization to achieve the objective of the company or firms. As a consequence of stakeholder, management, and marketing departments existing the mutual benefit of rural tourism in this organization.
The method of this framework model that uses to develop the framework is an adaptation from a previous case study that relevant to the main subject. The main reasons used this method are that past research can have the techniques and tools to be used in the current situation dictated by their findings or literature review that are relevant to the organization's application. Therefore, this framework is improvised from the other framework and findings of the research.
