KAJIAN YURIDIS PEMBERDAYAAN DESA WISATA BERDASARKAN PERATURAN DAERAH JAWA TIMUR NOMOR 4 TAHUN 2022

Abstract

Earth and water and the natural resources contained therein are controlled by the state and used for the greatest possible prosperity of the people, that is the mandate of the constitution, article 33 paragraph (3). Where natural wealth must really be maximized for the interests and welfare of the people. This applies to every government in Indonesia, including the Provincial Government (hereinafter referred to as Pemprov) of East Java. Thus, the East Java Provincial Government can actually maximize natural wealth to improve people's welfare, one of which is by empowering tourist villages. One way to take advantage of natural wealth is by empowering tourism villages. Empowerment of tourist villages is a program that can have a positive impact on residents who live in the area. However, it is unfortunate that this program is not supported by material regulations at the central level. Tourism village empowerment is only regulated in Tourism Regulation No. 9 of 202 which only states that tourist villages are only classified as small-scale tourist destinations. On September 2, 2022 the East Java DPRD issued East Java Regional Regulation Number 4 of 2022 concerning Empowerment of Tourism Villages (hereinafter referred to as the Tourism Village Empowerment Regional Regulation). However, not all East Java residents are aware of the existence of this regulation. This is because the Perda is still relatively new and some media do not publish enough. The Tourism Village Empowerment Regional Regulation has regulated a number of things needed in building a Tourism Village. In addition, the Regional Regulation has also manifested the desire of the Central Government to improve the economy and maintain regional culture by establishing a tourist village. However, it is regrettable that there are still no implementing regulations in the form of Governor Regulations governing the empowerment of tourist villages. Therefore, it is hoped that the author of the Governor will immediately make a Governor's Regulation regarding the empowerment of tourist villages.
