Abstract
To encourage community’s role in the field of tourism, the local government of Gorontalo Province analyzes the impact of the development of independent tourism village on community empowerment. It involves community in the decision-making process, related to the income, employment, preservation of the environment, and people’s culture. This research aims to determine the factors of independent variables that influence people’s activity. Community empowerment (Y) and independent variables are tourism tour (X1), infrastructure (X2), budget policy (X3), resources (X4), and some demography variables such as gender (Djk), types of work (Dkj), and level of education (Dpd) by the descriptive and multiple linear regression method. The results of this study reveal that the development model of independent tourism is the involvement of the villagers in every aspect of tourism in the village. Independent village development in the community empowerment simultaneously has a positive and tangible effect on the improvement of community empowerment as well as having a partial positive influence against the infrastructure and resources.
