Abstract
After the issuance of the village law, villages in Indonesia are required to be economically independent by utilizing their potentials. This study aims to find out main potentials of villages in Banyumas to be developed into village-owned enterprise business units and explore the reasons why villages choose this potential as a village-owned enterprise business unit. This study uses a qualitative approach with data collection methods using focused group discussion and in-depth interviews. The results of this study indicate that of the seven villages participating in the research, six villages chose rural tourism as the main business unit of their village-owned enterprise. Most villages choose rural tourism because they consider that there has been a successful model of rural tourism enterprises in Indonesia and because rural tourism is considered as a solution to various problems.Keywords: Village Law, Rural Tourism, Village-Owned Enterprise, Village Autonomy.

Summary
Village Law no. 6 of 2014 on Village (Village Law) becomes the forerunner of village development. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that in 2018, 13,20 % the composition of the poor is in the village, higher than in the city with 7, 02%. From these data we can know that the village is still far from prosperous. Eradicating unemployment can be done by changing the position of the poor and unemployed who were originally a burden (liability) transformed into assets (productive-agents) that contribute added value to the country. Transformation into these assets can be done by empowering rural communities
