Application of the Green Economy Concept in Improving Tourism Village Community Development (Study in Karangrejo Hamlet, Lolong Village, Karanganyar District, Pekalongan Regency)

Abstract

This research examines applying the green economy concept in developing the Karangrejo Tourism Village, Lolong Village, Karanganyar District, and Pekalongan Regency. Using a qualitative approach and case study methods, this research aims to analyze how the green economy concept can increase the role of the community in developing tourist villages and its impact on community welfare. The research results show that Buper Lolong Asri Nature Tourism has effectively implemented the green economy concept, focusing on the sustainable use of natural resources and improving environmental quality. Tourism management involves local communities, especially the IRMA (Mosque Youth Association), responsible for the operation and development of tourist facilities. This research concludes that applying the green economy concept in the Karangrejo Tourism Village can potentially increase the sustainable development of local communities by combining economic, social and environmental aspects. However, continuous efforts and support from various stakeholders are needed to optimize the benefits of the green economy concept for society and the environment
