Abstract

This study aims to explore the potential of the tourism village of Bedengan Selorejo, Indonesia to form a sustainable rural economy with entrepreneurship. The research began with investigating the potential and constraints that occurred in the field. Furthermore, the data and information obtained were used as the basis for making a suitable Supply Chain Management scheme to be implemented as a means of achieving effective and efficient entrepreneurship. This research employs a case study approach, data collection used in-depth interviews and documents. The case study approach is used in order to obtain a complete picture of the supply chain management model in building entrepreneurial villages. The finding of this study is that Bedengan, Selorejo Village has a lot of potential in its natural resources, but this potential is not accompanied by entrepreneurial interest and competence. Therefore, the researchers propose a Supply Chain Management scheme which contains four aspects, namely Youths, Land, Competency, and Interest. The proposed scheme will later become a tool to help create an entrepreneurial village. This research was only conducted in one village, so there may be differences in potential, problems, and solutions found in other villages.
