Pemberdayaan Masyarakat Untuk Mendukung Pengembangan Desa Padabeunghar Menjadi Desa Penyangga Wisata

Abstract

The beautiful natural scenery and the presence of tourist objects make Padabeunghar Village worthy of being designated as a tourism buffer village in Kuningan Regency. The problem in tourism development is that the current tourist attraction is not managed by the local community. To explore and find the motivation and expectations of the village community, the Service Team uses the ABCD (Asset-Based Community Development) approach as an instrument of the service method used. The results of the identification of the potential of the area and community of Padabeunghar village are classified into potential individual assets, physical assets and natural resources, cultural and religious assets, economic assets, and social capital assets. The expectations of the people of Padabeunghar Village in utilizing the potential assets they have, include improving infrastructure and access roads, creating religious tourism, recording locations in villages that have potential but have not been managed, management of the newly formed BUMDES, entertainment for tourists, a home industry that already developed, socialization of tourist objects to be known more widely by the public. The appropriate pattern of assistance to support Padabeunghar Village to become a tourism support village is training and assistance for BUMDES in the field of BUMDES governance and training on good planning systems
