Abstract

This research explores the policy approach adopted by the management of Serang Tourism Village for village development, with an emphasis on the five livelihood capitals and the community’s strategies for sustaining livelihoods after development. Employing a mixed-methods sequential exploratory approach, the research identifies the key policy strategy as the creation of BUM Desa. This initiative has boosted PADes contributions to villages, thereby advancing local development. Consequently, this has improved access to the five livelihood capitals, fostering more sustainable livelihoods. The research also underscores the community's susceptibility to the impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic, emphasizing the importance of both the tourism and agriculture sectors in sustaining livelihoods during crises. It concludes that the tourism village strategy implemented by BUM Desa plays a significant role in supporting the community’s well-being through the five capitals, thereby protecting their living conditions from potential vulnerabilities. The results should prompt local authorities to focus on enhancing the capabilities of BUM Desa, aiming to offer more sustainable livelihoods for the community.
