KONSEP PENGEMBANGAN OBJEK DAYA TARIK WISATA BERBASIS MASYARAKAT DI BUKIT PENGILON, GUNUNG KIDUL, DAERAH ISTIMEWA YOGYAKARTA

Abstract

Pengilon Hill is a hilly area on the southern coast of Gunungkidul Regency which has great potential to be developed as a natural tourist attraction. This study aims to analyze the potential, problems, and formulate a concept for developing sustainable community-based tourism. The research method uses a descriptive qualitative approach through field observations, interviews with local communities, and documentation. The results of the study show that Pengilon Hill has advantages in the form of natural green landscapes and stunning sea panoramas, but is not yet supported by adequate facilities and limited community capacity. The proposed development concept is natural tourism based on local community participation through area zoning, basic infrastructure development, training, formation of Pokdarwis, and digital promotion. The action plan is developed in the form of a five-year roadmap as a guide for gradual implementation towards an inclusive and sustainable tourist destination.
