Residents of four villages in South Parang Subdistrict Magetan Regency is widely known for its tourist destinations these destinations are mostly located in the northern and western parts of the regency the southern part is hardly considered a viable tourist destination This phenomenon motivated the community and government of said villages to develop their tourism sector Realizing that the development could not be done alone they collaborated and united under the name Blego-Bungkuk (B2) Jaya The name emphasized that Mount Blego and Mount Bungkuk unified the four villages The local government also showed strong commitment by collaborating with the Magetan Regency Government The journey began with an audience between the four villages under B2 Jaya with ITB in mid-December 2021 signed by the Regent of Magetan and the Rector of ITB as a legal basis for education ITB was committed to facilitating the development of integrated tourism villages During the initial phase of the cooperation in 2022 LPPM ITB (Institute for Research and Community Service of ITB) initiated three primary community-service activities in the B2 Jaya zone they conceived an integrated tourism-village plan in accordance with the demands of the four villages the activity followed by community empowerment to explore the tourism potential in each village including the availability of natural and cultural resources LPPM ITB mapped out the potential of geological diversity and water resources to ensure the sustainability of tourism activities in the region All activities conducted by ITB in the B2 Jaya area were organized in such a way as to involve the local community in the process Proper strategies and procedures were needed for the community to understand and accept the tourism-village development The ITB Center for Tourism Planning and Development (P-P2Par) team responsible for executing the first and second activities also encouraged village leaders to form Tourism Awareness Groups (or Pokdarwis) The objective of Pokdarwis was to incentivize tourism as it was the leading team involved in the planning process Representation of all community elements was essential to avoid any conflict Pokdarwis proved to have a profound impact on the community even though the planning still needed to be completed Pokdarwis Ngunut Berseri from Ngunut Village worked with youths and

can be developed in line with the aspirations of the community and the local government," explained Budi Faisal After the survey and planning had been completed the governments of B2 Jaya villages
