Analisis Pengembangan Desa Wisata untuk Keberlanjutan Petani Strawberry di Desa Wisata Pandanrejo Menggunakan Metode Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA)

Abstrak

The concept of Village-City Development's hegemony is being clarified in
various media outlets, necessitating periodic reviews to strike a balance
between the two. The harmonization of village development is evident in the
rapid improvement and transformation of villages, exemplified by the
emergence of tourist villages. Among these, Pandanrejo Tourism Village
stands out, offering strawberry barn tourism that has been operational since
late 2018. This tourism destination not only showcases strawberry gardens
and products but also provides educational tours related to strawberries. To
support the success of tourism villages, efforts can be made by mapping the
community's potential and needs, which will inform the development
programs aimed at empowering the local populace. The research undertaken
in this study employed the Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) method,
which ensures that the people of Pandanrejo Tourism Village are not mere
recipients of top-down programs, but active participants in designing bottomup development initiatives. This approach encourages the community's
involvement throughout the development process. The study encompasses
several stages of analysis, allowing village communities to actively participate
in identifying social problems and their root causes, devising solutions, and
subsequently formulating programs. These programs will receive budgetary
support and be implemented based on principles of cooperation,
empowerment, and community independence.
