Preparing Troliman Villagers to Get Ready for Tourism Potentials

Abstract

Troliman is a fertile sub-village located in highland Mojokerto. Troliman has tourism potentials, such as the local gamelan community and the tourism spot Lembah Harapan. Therefore, when Community Outreach Program was held in the village in 2019, the theme for the village is “Tourism Village”. Education and environmental health had become a problem in developing the village potentials, especially in tourism sector. In order to address these problems and grow the village’s potentials, several programs were proposed to support the development of Troliman Village; such as physical projects (murals in school buildings and gamelan room, trash bins, signboards, preschool facilities, building orchid houses) and non-physical projects (teaching at local preschool, arts and creative trainings, Independence Day, Troliman Sehat, and Culture Night). With a total of 29 participants from 7 countries, coming from various backgrounds of major studies, the programs were executed during three weeks in the village between July 22nd-August 6th, 2019. Future work in the village could do further work on Troliman’s tourism spots and environmental health after operation of local key environmental programs in Troliman has fully begun
