Abstract
ABSTRACT
 An interesting thing of Batu City is the acceleration of its growth, which, during the last 12 years, has become the third most visited city by Asian tourists, after Bali and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. Batu City has a special character that is different from other cities, namely the beautiful atmosphere of the mountains, the cool air, lush with fruits, vegetables, flowers, and agricultural and livestock products. Starting from 6 tourist attractions now it has had more than 40 tourist destinations so that it becomes very popular. However, the growth of Batu City has not been accompanied by the economic growth of its people, resulting in a gab between what is expected and what is real. The purpose of this research is to analyze, test, prove and evaluate the influence of independent variables of Government Support, Member Participation, Manager Performance, and Access to Capital Resources on the dependent variables namely Cooperative Performance, Member Economy and Member Welfare. The knowledge of the influence of the tested variables on the progress of cooperatives is helpful for evaluating the performance of cooperatives in order to improve the economy and the welfare of cooperative members in general. This research is an explanatory study through hypothesis testing. By using 2 versions of the statistical analysis, namely Regression Analysis and Structural Equation Modeling (SEM). SEM is needed to find out more in detail about the various factors / variables and find the most dominating indicators of the progress of the cooperative.The results of the analysis based on the Regression Test state that all 6 variables under study have a significant effect; moreover, Partial/Equivalent Tests find similar results. Furthermore, the Structural Modeling Test indicated that the 7 variables being studied were good. The hypothesis testing using Weigh Regression proves that the 7 hypotheses proved to be significantly influential. The Loading Factor analyses showed a significant effects of: 1) Government Support (Variable D) with a significance value of 0.034 (p<0.05); 2) Member Participation (Variable A) with a significance value of 0.049 (p<0.05); 3) Manager Performance (Variable M) with a significance value of 0.046 (p<0.05); 4) Capital Access (Variable U) with a significance value of 0.036 (p<0.05); 5) Cooperative Performance (Variable K) with a significance value of 0.028 (p<0.05); 6) Member Economy (Variable EA) with a significance value of 0.028 (p<0.05); 7) and Member Welfare (Variable P) with a significance value of 0,000 (p<0.05). Thus, all of the seven proposed hypotheses proved to be confirmed. It implies that those seven variables significantly influence the progress of cooperatives; therefore, they can be used to study, analyze, evaluate and innovate the development of cooperatives in Batu Tourism City. If the cooperative is strong, the economy and the welfare of the members will automatically increase.

Highlights
Batu is a City of Tourism that is very fast development, within a period of 12 years has become the third largest tourist city visited by Asian tourists, after Bali, Yogyakarta / Yogyakarta and Batu City
The Objective Conditions of the Cooperative Movement in Batu Tourism City are almost 190 cooperatives, but only 62 cooperatives are included in the category of healthy cooperatives. namely: 1) The rapid development of the city has not been matched by the economic development of its people; 2) there is still a geb between the expectation that the community in cooperatives can improve the quality of life with the running reality; 3) the condition of community cooperatives is only 33% which is included in the category of healthy cooperatives
The magnitude of the influence of manager entrepreneurship attitudes and member participation on cooperative business performance is 85.56%, while the remaining 14.46% is caused by other factors not examined, which are thought to be from internal factors, namely management, external factors namely the role of government and cooperative catalyst parties. These findings indicate that the manager's entrepreneurial attitude, and member participation are important factors in determining the level of cooperative performance in East Java Province
Summary
Batu is a City of Tourism that is very fast development, within a period of 12 years has become the third largest tourist city visited by Asian tourists, after Bali, Yogyakarta / Yogyakarta and Batu City. Profile of Manager's Entrepreneurship Attitudes, Member Participation, Implementation of Development Strategies and Cooperative Business Performance have an influential relationship. These findings are consistent with Hanel's (2005: 133) opinion that efficient service improvement through the provision of goods and services by cooperative companies will be an important incentive for members to contribute to the formation and growth of cooperatives In this case the intensity of stimuli desired by the members is very closely related to how far the goods and services meet the needs that are subjectively felt by each member, so as to increase the interests of the household, farming business or other business units on the influence of entrepreneurial attitudes managers, and member participation on cooperative business performance. Cooperative economy is a business organization that is operated jointly based on the principle of the people's economic movement based on kinship, aims to achieve economic interests to improve mutual prosperity both for all members of the cooperative itself and for the surrounding communities who need it. ANALYSIS AND DISCUSSION Based on structural analysis decision equation modeling (equation model) shows that the criteria of goodness of fit produced most of them already meet the requirements as a table like the following: Goodness of Fit–Indeks Χ2- Chi-square
