Water Conservation-Based Ecotourism Development for Sustainable Local Economic Development and Supporting the Borobudur National Tourism Strategic Area (KSPN)

The area around the Borobudur Temple area needs development so that it can become a tourism buffer area. This development will align with and answer the challenge of establishing Borobudur as a National Tourism Strategic Area (KSPN). Several areas in the Borobudur KSPN that fall into the Menoreh hills have high potential as natural tourist destinations, especially viewpoint and spring. Development is directed towards conservation-based tourism with educational content to increase the selling value. Giripurno Village is one of the Borobudur KSPN villages located in the Menoreh hills and has a potential tourism support infrastructure. The development is carried out by structuring the spring area as a tourist attraction to complement the activities of guests staying at the homestay. The spring area is laid out using lightweight, flexible, yet solid designs and building materials. The existence of spring objects that are arranged sustainably will provide additional activities for visiting tourists. In addition, professional management of each tourism infrastructure will further increase the existing tourism and economic potential
