Tosari and Sapikerep villages are two villages in the TNBTS area which are included as one of the priority areas in Indonesia. Nature tourism or agro-tourism and cultural tourism are the characteristics of the two villages. Thus, Agro-Cultural based Edutourism is one of the potential developments in the village area. The pentahelix development model is considered appropriate because it is known that the two villages collaborate with 5 roles, namely government, private sector, academia, mass media, and the community. This article is the result of research conducted for 2 months using a qualitative method with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, focus group discussions, and observations, where research was conducted to fully describe how the pentahelix collaboration pattern occurred. As a result, the role of various actors in the pentahelix collaboration model is quite optimal. From a regulatory perspective, the central government and regional governments have shown their role where basically the two villages have become part of the tourism priority villages which in terms of infrastructure are maximally supported by the central government. As well as with regard to licensing, it is very easy to take care of development permits and public facilities that support tourism businesses and make it easier for tourists. From the private sector, many companies and investors started arriving to work together in the two villages, through their Corporate Social Responsibility pattern. On the other hand, the media also plays an important role in efforts to introduce tourism potential so that it is more widely known by tourists, while academics work together in terms of planning that is in accordance with science, as well as the active role of the community which turns out to be open and mutually willing to build villages.

Abstract This study aims to describe the diversification of livelihoods as a strategy achieved by the rural dweller to maintain and improve their standard of living. This issue is important to be studied in order to explore various alternative ways of the fundamental problem that is passed by them. There are four problems related to socio-economic life in rural areas, namely low labor productivity, land ownership that is getting narrower along with the large number of small farmers, relatively low household income and lower wages for agricultural laborers than construction and industrial workers. As a consequence, subsistence farming has weak prospects and cannot be relied on as the only source of livelihood for the rural population. Even though agricultural sector is no longer being promoted as a source of income, some rural residents continue to pursue farming while carrying out various supporting activities to fullfill their needs. In fact, there is a tendency for them to take advantage of the opportunities that exist in order to improve their standard of living. The rural population actually has various levels in maintaining the existence of life and increasing the standard of living of their household in accordance with the unique social, economic, ecological and cultural arrangements in an area. One of them is the focus of this research, namely the diversification of household livelihoods in rural areas in the context of rural-urban relations. We hope to find a formula that can support the capability of rural residents to diversify their livelihoods in response to urban development. To realize this goal, the research team has conducted investigations on: a portfolio of livelihood activities of rural small people in the context of the struggle for survival and improvement of their standard of living and (b) diversification of livelihoods carried out by small people in the context of rural-urban relations. Abstrak Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mendeskripsikan diversifikasi mata pencarian sebagai strategi yang dilakukan oleh penduduk pedesaan untuk mempertahankan dan meningkatkan taraf hidupnya. Isu ini penting untuk dikaji guna menggali berbagai alternatif cara dari permasalahan mendasar yang dilalui mereka. Ada empat masalah yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial ekonomi di pedesaan, yaitu produktivitas tenaga kerja yang rendah, kepemilikan lahan yang semakin sempit seiring dengan banyaknya petani kecil, pendapatan rumah tangga yang relatif rendah dan upah buruh tani yang lebih rendah dibandingkan buruh bangunan dan industri. Akibatnya, pertanian subsisten memiliki prospek yang lemah dan tidak dapat diandalkan sebagai satu-satunya sumber mata pencarian penduduk pedesaan. Meskipun sektor pertanian tidak lagi digalakkan sebagai sumber pendapatan, sebagian penduduk pedesaan tetap bertani sambil melakukan berbagai kegiatan penunjang untuk memenuhi kebutuhan hidupnya. Bahkan, ada kecenderungan mereka memanfaatkan peluang yang ada untuk meningkatkan taraf hidupnya. Penduduk pedesaan sebenarnya memiliki berbagai tingkatan dalam mempertahankan eksistensi kehidupan dan meningkatkan taraf hidup rumah tangganya sesuai dengan keunikan tatanan sosial, ekonomi, ekologi dan budaya di suatu wilayah. Salah satunya yang menjadi fokus penelitian ini, yaitu diversifikasi mata pencarian rumah tangga di pedesaan dalam konteks hubungan desa–kota. Kami berharap dapat menemukan formula yang dapat mendukung kemampuan penduduk pedesaan untuk mendiversifikasi mata pencarian mereka dalam menanggapi pembangunan perkotaan. Untuk mewujudkan tujuan tersebut, tim peneliti telah melakukan investigasi terhadap: (a) portofolio kegiatan mata pencarian masyarakat kecil pedesaan dalam rangka perjuangan untuk bertahan hidup dan peningkatan taraf hidup mereka dan (b) diversifikasi mata pencarian yang dilakukan oleh masyarakat kecil di konteks hubungan desa–kota.

Pemberdayaan masyarakat merupakan proses pembangunan dimana masyarakat dilibatkan secara langsung untuk melakukan proses kegiatan sosial untuk memperbaiki situasi dan kondisi masyarakat itu sendiri. Pemberdayaan masyarakat saat ini banyak dikaitkan oleh masyarakat desa dengan tujuan untuk membangun pola pikir serta kompetensi masyarakat desa agar dapat berkembang secara mandiri dalam memenuhi kebutuhan hidup mereka. Adanya pemberdayaan masyarakat di suatu daerah dapat disebabkan karena beberapa kondisi seperti yang terjadi di Kampung Cempluk yaitu kondisi pemuda karang taruna yang tidak produktif serta ikatan solidaritas masyarakat yang kurang terjalin kemudian mendorong para agen untuk memberdayakan masyarakat. Pada proses pemberdayaan, para agen menjadikan seni sebagai sarana dalam pemberdayaan masyarakat. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode penelitian kualitatif dengan pendekatan deskriptif. Hasil temuan dilapangan disajikan dalam bentuk narasi didukung dengan menggunakan data primer dan data sekunder yang telah diperoleh. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik sosial dalam proses pemberdayaan masyarakat tidak terlepas dari upaya yang dilakukan oleh expert agent serta lay agent dalam menggerakan partisipasi masyarakat. Praktik sosial berbentuk skema institusi S-DL (Signifikasi-Dominasi-Legitimasi). Signifikasi yang dibangun berupa wacana-wacana yang disebarkan oleh agen, dominasi yaitu berkaitan dengan kemampuan agen untuk mempengaruhi masyarakat kemudian legitimasi yaitu adanya pengakuan dari perangkat desa setempat mengenai kegiatan pemberdayaan di Kampung Cempluk
