Understanding Community Service Methodology for Community Empowerment in Tourist Villages

Abstract

The growth of tourist villages in Indonesia has increased significantly. This increase is a form of government and academics collaboration that focuses on the field of community service. The university academics community actively contributes to the development of tourist villages through community service programs. The academics community can understand the conditions of tourist villages by using community service methodology. This article discusses community service methodologies, namely Participatory Action Research (PAR), Community Based Research (CBR), Service Learning (SL), and ABCD (Asset Based Community Development. This community service methodology can be used to identify problems, develop and carrying out community service programs, especially in tourist villages. The output of this community service activity is in the form of research articles in the field of community service. It is hoped that community service research articles can provide lessons for the development of tourist villages.
