Abstract

The involvement of community members plays a crucial role in the successful execution of development initiatives. Development processes that do not actively engage the community are prone to marginalizing the very community they aim to benefit. However, it is important to acknowledge that in practice, community participation is frequently overlooked, resulting in the community being seen as passive recipients of development initiatives. The establishment of a tourist town necessitates a deliberate transformation that necessitates the involvement of several stakeholders, including business entities, governmental bodies, and local populations, in a comprehensive and sustainable approach. This is in line with the mandate of Article 2 letter k of Law no. 32 of 2009 concerning the Protection and Management of the Environment (PPLH): Community participation in development can be carried out starting from the planning process to the operation of the development. This research wants to find answers from; (1) Community involvement in supervising the development of a tourist village in Taro Village, Gianyar Regency, (2) Finding the right model for the development of a tourist village that prioritizes local community participation. The combined normative and empirical method (mixed method) is used as a reviewer of the existing problem formulation. The aim is to find a solution to the problem of developing a tourism village based on community participation in Taro Village, Gianyar Regency so that it can develop a sustainable tourism village. To yet, the process of transforming Taro Village in Gianyar Regency, Bali Province into a tourism village has not adequately incorporated community engagement. The predominant stakeholders involved in the management of the tourist village development in Taro are primarily comprised of business entities and governmental bodies, hence presenting various challenges along the process. The absence of both the opportunity and the inclination among individuals to engage in complete participation. When discussing a clean and sustainable approach to government governance, it is anticipated that the government will serve as a facilitator for corporate entities, offering increased support and advantages to local communities. Community participation in the planning process is the highest level of community involvement. The identification of this particular model of community engagement within the planning process effectively encourages the active involvement of community members in decision-making processes pertaining to development plans. The involvement of the government's political determination is vital in mitigating the excessive influence of tourism industry stakeholders in the advancement of tourist villages. This can be achieved by creating opportunities for community engagement and participation.
