Abstract

Community Participation in the Development of Rural Tourism Areas is a debate in its implementation. This emphasizes the sustainability of an idea based on community participation that is oriented towards Balinese culture in supporting sustainable development. The concept of a tourist village is a form of community-based tourism that aims to prosper the people in the area. At present most tourist villages in the Province of Bali have not succeeded in developing properly. One of the problems is that people are confused in applying environmental laws and the culture they have in carrying out tourism activities. The problem to be answered is- 1. Efforts to realize rural tourism development based on local wisdom values 2. Community participation in sustainable rural tourism development in Taro Village. This research is primarily aimed at developing a model of community participation based on local wisdom values of tourist villages based on Balinese cultural environmental law to increase community legal compliance with environmental protection. The research method is- normative.
The results of the study show that community participation is an effort to take responsibility which is very difficult so that rural tourism development does not reduce the quality of the environment and can realize sustainable rural tourism development in Bali. Integrating the values that develop in society in protecting and preserving the environment is an ideal form of protecting and managing the environment wisely to realize sustainable tourism development in Bali.
