Design of Permaculture Glamping Resort Based on Empowerment of Local Communities in Kanigoro

Abstract

Kanigoro Village, Gunung Kidul, has strong agricultural potential and a wealth of attractive natural landscapes, but still faces challenges in improving the economic welfare of the local community. This design designs a glamping resort with a permaculture approach as an architectural strategy that not only utilizes the potential of local nature and culture, but also actively empowers the local community. Permaculture was chosen as the main concept because of its suitability with local wisdom in farming and its ability to create a sustainable system. This glamping resort is designed as a commercial building that can attract domestic and foreign tourists, as well as being a collaborative space between tourists and the local community in educational activities and agricultural production. The local community is involved in management, tour guides, and independent food production, so that a reciprocal relationship is created between tourism and economic empowerment. The design principles applied include sustainability, energy efficiency, social connectivity, and adaptation to the natural and cultural characteristics of Kanigoro. The design results show that the permaculture-based glamping resort approach can be a model of sustainable tourism that encourages economic growth, environmental conservation, and strengthening the role of local communities in developing their regions.
