Abstrak: Gunung Ciremai National Park (GCNP) is one of conservation areas located in two administrative regions, i.e. Majalengka and Kuningan Regency. Gunung Ciremai National Park, particularly the area of National Park Management Section (SPTN) I Kuningan, has various resources potential for tourism objects and attractions, such as waterfalls, hot springs, lake, forest, flora and fauna diversity, and culture. Considering the potentials and the absence of tourism development plan in GCNP, a research on the development of the potentials for tourism objects and attractions was needed. Research was conducted on May – June 2010, covering 7 nature-based tourism location on SPTN I Kuningan area of GCNP, which enclosed in the letter of agreement Number PKS 02/BTNGC/2009 and Number 556/49/Disparbud/2009 about the management of nature-based tourism objects at GCNP, viz. Telagaremis, Paniis, Buper Cibeureum, Buper Cibunar, Buper Balongdalam, Lembah Cilengkrang and Buper Palutungan. A modified criteria of the Directorate General of Forest Protection and Nature Conservation’s criteria of assessment of tourism object and attraction operational areas analysis year 2003 (ADO-ODTWA) was used in the research’s analysis. Elements of assessment used in the analysis were attraction, accessibility, and community’s social-economic condition of the area concerned. Data were collected through literature study, interview, questionnaire, and field observation. Data collected were attraction, accessibility, community’s social-economic condition, visitors’ characteristics, visitors’ valuation of the objects, visitors’ purpose and activities, visitors’ expectations, and development plant from tourism object management and local government. Gunung Ciremai National Park entrusted the management of the tourism locations concerned in this research to various stakeholders, viz. Tourism and Culture Agency of the local government, private ventures, communities, in cooperation with GCNP. Therefore, each location had different policy and management system. The assessment of the existing tourism objects on the area of SPTN I Kuningan GCNP resulted in moderate value (1184-1657) and high value (1658-2130) classifications. Lembah Cilengkrang (1800) and Buper Palutungan (1675) were classified into high value objects, while the other five objects, Telagaremis (1655), Paniis (1575), Buper Cibeureum (1525), Buper Cibunar (1570) dan Buper Balongdalam (1515), fell into the moderate value objects. Therefore, Lembah Cilengkrang and Buper Palutungan became the priority of the development of nature-based tourism in SPTN I Kuningan Gunung Ciremai National Park. Visitors on all 7 locations shared common characteristics. Visitors came from areas outside Kuningan, such as Cirebon, Indramayu, and Majalengka. The majority of the visitors (51,9%) were teenager (13-21 year old). Most of the visitors came to the area to enjoy the scenery, with walking and sitting as dominating activities. Visitors expected that there would be a tourism object development, particularly concerning tourism products and facilities. Recommendation on nature-based tourism development of SPTN I Kuningan areas of GCNP were made taking into account the aspects of object’s potential, visitor’s suggestion, and management plan. Nature-based tourism development covered the development of facilities, improvement of cooperation in potential management and development, and tourism activities development on each location.

Judul: COMMUNITY EMPOWERMENT THROUGH THE DEVELOPMENT OF CAMPGROUND TOURISM PRODUCTS IN GUNUNG CIREMAI NATIONAL PARK
Abstrak: Taman Nasional Gunung Ciremai (TNGC) adalah salah satu Taman Nasional ekosistem pegunungan di Provinsi Jawa Barat yang memiliki potensi wisata yang sangat tinggi. TNGC ditetapkan pada tanggal 8 Mei 2014 melalui Surat Penetapan Menteri LHK No.3684/Menhut/VIIKUH/2014 dengan luas wilayah 14.481,3 Ha. Perubahan status dari Kawasan Hutan Produksi menjadi Taman Nasional menimbulkan konsekuensi yang sangat besar terutama konsekuensi mata pencaharian masyarakat. Perubahan ini harus disikapi dengan benar sehingga kesejahteraan masyarakat tetap terjaga. Balai TNGC melalui kebijakan manajemen kedaulatan rakyat untuk pengelolaan Objek Daya Tarik Wisata Alam (ODTWA) di kawasan zona pemanfaatan kawasan TNGC. Melalui kebijakan tersebut maka perlu adanya pengembangan produk wisata untuk pemberdayaan masyarakat. Melalui pengembangan produk wisata masyarakat akan lebih berdaya dalam hal sumber daya manusia, kelembagaan, permodalan, maupun pengembagan fasilitas umum lainya. Hal tersebut dapat terjadi oleh adanya keterlibatan para pihak lain untuk mendukung pengembangan produk wisata yang dikelola oleh masyarakat desa penyangga. Penelitian ini menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder. Data primer diperoleh dari hasil wawancara dengan stakeholders diantaranya Balai TNGC, Dinas Koperasi UKM Perdagangan dan Perindustrian (DISKOPDAGPERIN) Kabupaten Kuningan, Dinas Pemuda Olahraga dan Pariwisata Kabupaten Kuningan, Dinas Koperasi Usaha Mikro Kecil dan Menengah (KUMKM) Kabupaten Majalengka, Dinas Pariwisata dan Kebudayaan Kabupaten Majalengka, Pemerintah Desa (Desa Cisantana, Desa Setianegara, dan Desa Padaherang) Koperasi Pengelola ODTWA (Koperasi Alam Citra Mandiri, Koperasi Ciremai Green Lambosir, dan Koperasi Leles Tirta Raharja), Media, Lembaga Swadaya Masyarakat (Aktivitas Anak Rimba, Forum Ciremai, dan Pokdarwis) Universitas IAIN Cirebon. Sedangkan data sekunder merupakan seluruh data yang dikumpulkan dari berbagai sumber yang dapat menunjang penelitian ini. Data yang terkumpul kemudian dianalisis menggunakan analisis deskriptif kualitatif, untuk mengetahui kondisi umum desa penyangga dan kondisi produk wisata di ODTWA lokasi penelitian. Selain itu analisis stakeholders digunakan untuk mengetahui pengaruh dan kepentingan dari setiap stakeholders yang berperan dengan fungsi, kapasitas, maupun kapabilitas yang berbeda disetiap ODTWA lokasi penelitian. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa Desa Cisantana yang berbatasan langsung dengan kawasan TNGC memiliki potensi wisata yang sangat banyak dilihat dari wisata alam, taman wisata, wisata kuliner sebagai objek daya tarik wisata yang terletak di Kecamatan Cigugur berjarak ±5 km dari pusat Kota Kabupaten Kuningan. Selain potensi wisata Desa Cisantana juga memiliki budaya masyarakat bertani dan beternak dari hasil pengamatan lapangan terdapat potensi peternakan susu perah, ayam pedaging, pertanian sayur-sayuran. Potensi pertanian dan peternakan belum dioptimalkan dengan baik sehingga hasil produksi dari masyarakat pertanian dijual secara mandiri ke pasar yang ada. Potensi sumber daya pertanian dan peternakan perlu dikolaborasikan dengan wisata alam yang ada di lingkup Desa maupun kawasan TNGC sebagai wisata agro eduwisata organik. Kolaborasi antara para pihak Pemerintah Daerah, Pemerintah Desa maupun Balai TNGC dalam hal peningkatan kapasitas masyarakat petani dan kelompok dan/atau badan usaha koperasi pengelola ODTWA untuk memanfaatkan sumber daya pertanian dan peternakan ke dalam paket wisata sebagai konsep agroeduwisata organik atau perpaduan antara potensi wisata alam dengan hasil pertanian dan peternakan yang ada sebagai suatu daya tarik wisata untuk wisata edukasi. Potensi di alam lingkup Desa Setianegara memiliki bentang alam menyuguhkan keindahan persawahan yang hijau dengan tanaman padi maupun jenis tanaman pertanian lainya seperti ubi jalar dan sayur sayuran dengan pemandangan berlatar Gunung Ciremai belum dikembangkan dengan baik
