Abstract

Delanggu sub-district, Klaten is known as a producer of Rojolele fragrant rice. However, currently, this image is fading as people's interest in producing Rojolele rice decreases. Because of this, an initiative emerged to develop the rice fields into an ecotourism area that educates the public and builds new communities that are attached to their environment. A case study will be carried out in Nyambu Village Ecotourism, Jatiluwih Tourism Village, and Sambi Tourism Village as a reference in developing Delanggu ecotourism by analyzing the causes of problems along with preventive solutions. This research aims to find a solution point for designing sustainable Delanggu ecotourism and increasing public awareness of Rojolele rice production. By involving the local community in developing Delanggu ecotourism, local community awareness will grow so that Delanggu ecotourism continues to live with the local community. Not only focusing on the existence of Rojolele rice, but also on developing innovative and adaptive facilities that ultimately encourage local communities to actively participate in forming spaces that mark the existence of Delanggu ecotourism. Through a synthesis of village inventory mapping stages from physical and non-physical aspects, as well as Focus Group Discussions (FGD) with existing communities, it is hoped that Delanggu Ecotourism planning recommendations will be realized which directly involve the role of local communities so that indirectly, not only creating space physically, but also attracting public interest in the essence of Delanggu ecotourism itself.
