Kelurahan Mulyaharja merupakan salah satu daerah di Kota Bogor dengan tingkat tingkat kemiskinan yang tinggi. Namun di sisi lain Kelurahan Mulyaharja memiliki potensi yang tinggi pada bidang pertanian. Pendirian Kampung Tematik di Kelurahan Mulyaharja menjadi salah satu cara dalam mengentaskan kemiskinan perkotaan dan meningkatkan pendapatan masyarakat dalam penghidupan berkelanjutan. Tujuan penelitian adalah untuk mengidentifikasi awal pembentukkan kampung tematik, menganalisis tata kelola kelembagaan, menganalisis sustainable livelihood masyarakat dan menganalisis strategi pengembangan Kampung Tematik Agro Eduwisata Organik Ciharasras, Mulyaharja dalam meningkatkan sustainable livelihood masyarakat. Hasil menunjukkan bahwa pembentukkan Kampung Tematik Agro Eduwisata Organik Ciharasras, Mulyaharja didasari atas permasalahan kemiskinan dan potensi pertanian di Kampung Ciharasras. Tata kelola kelembagaan di kampung tematik sudah berjalan cukup baik, namun beberapa kelompok aktor perlu diperhatikan peran dan aspirasinya agar tidak terjadi benturan antar masyarakat. Aset sustainable livelihood masyarakat yang mengalami peningkatan adalah human capital dan physical capital, sedangkan financial capital dan natural capital mengalami penurunan nilai aset. Strategi pengembangan kampung tematik perlu memerhatikan alternatif pemerataan kompensasi lahan, pemberdayaan keterampilan masyarakat sebagai UMKM dan perbaikan sarana usaha tani dan pariwisata agar tetap berkelanjutan., The increasing number of urban residents will add to urban burdens like poverty. Mulyaharja Village is one of the areas in Bogor with a high level of poverty. However, on the other hand, Mulyaharja Village has a high potential in agriculture. Establishing Thematic Villages in Mulyaharja Village is one way to alleviate urban poverty and increase the community's incomes in sustainable livelihoods. The purpose of the study was to identify the initial formation of thematic villages, analyse institutional governance, analyse the community's sustainable livelihoods and analyse the development strategy of the Thematic Villages for Organic Agro Edutourism Ciharasras, Mulyaharja in improving the community's sustainable livelihoods. The results show that the establishment of the Thematic Village of Ciharasras Organic Agro Edutourism, Mulyaharja, is based on the problems of poverty and agricultural potential in Ciharasras Village. Institutional governance in thematic villages has been running quite well. Still, several groups of actors need to be considered for their roles and aspirations, so there are no clashes between communities. The sustainable livelihood assets that were increasing were human and physical capital, while financial and natural capital had decreased in asset values. The thematic village development strategy needs to pay attention to alternatives for equal distribution of land compensation, empowering community skills as UMKM, and improving farming and tourism facilities to remain sustainable.
