determine resource potential, development alternatives and
priorities, both through analysis of internal and external
factors. The results of this study show that forms of stakeholder

development directions include the use of various resources,
the development of facilities as community business
opportunities, the empowerment of community skills, the
Improvement of regional socialization, and efforts to preserve
