Internalizing Dayak cultural values to foster youth entrepreneurial interest in local economic development
Abstract
Culture has the potential to develop interest in entrepreneurship. The relationship that can occur between culture and entrepreneurship is to utilize existing cultural diversity to increase business activities and help increase economic growth. Dayak Culture-Based Entrepreneurship Development Model. The development model that can be carried out is through collaboration between the business sector and the Dayak culture sector. The appropriate policy for local economic empowerment is sourced from village funds. The purpose of village funds is to accelerate village development, improve the welfare of village communities through various programs such as development and empowerment. Culture has an important role in an area, because culture is a characteristic or even the identity of a tribe in the area. However, the interest or concern of the current young generation is very lacking in existing culture, therefore there needs to be an appropriate and appropriate solution for young people today. The hope is that the existing culture will continue to be preserved and maintained properly
