Abstract

The study of community development began to dominate the world in the 21st century since the advent of ecological perspective. In this context, community development is a way to solve the problems that occur in the society with the main aim of creating an autonomous society that can make themselves prosperous. This applies to the community in general, including the community in tourism village that functions as attributes of tourism products into a series of tourism activities that is integrated and have a certain theme based on the village characteristics. Tourism village as a rural development by exploiting the ability of elements that exist in rural community has potential to be a locomotive on community development effort. This can be executed if the tourism village is able to offer an overall ambience that reflects the authenticity of the rural population in terms of socio-economy, socio-cultural, custom, village architecture, or daily activities of the society that has unique and interesting value in the form of attraction, accommodation, food and beverage, and other uniqueness that is owned by a village. To achieve this, a community development model that can be executed is needed in order to create a tourism village that can solve the problems in the community into rural community prosperity improvement. Therefore, a community development model that can combine professional approach and radical approach is needed. Both are expected to give a discourse about community development that can be executed in creating an independent tourism village and can solve the problems into rural community prosperity. Key words: Community development, Tourism village, Prosperity
