<![CDATA[Janari Tourism is the first tourism village in Pakis District to apply the concept of community based tourism (CBT) which will operate in early 2021. Because it is still a new tourism village, there are still many problems in its development, especially the problem of the low number of tourists visiting. Because Janari tourism is CBT-based, the level of local community involvement in the development of Janari tourism is interesting to study as a form of community empowerment in developing CBT-based tourism in rural areas. Therefore this study aims to examine how the participation of the people of Gondangsari Village in the development of Janari Tourism uses the theory of participation according to Cohen and Uphoff in Mulyadi (2011: 34) which includes four stages, namely the decision-making stage, implementation stage, benefit taking and evaluation. This study used descriptive qualitative method. This research was carried out at Janari Tourism which is located in Gondangsari Village, Magelang Regency and the Tourism, Youth and Sports Office of Magelang Regency. Research data obtained through observation, interviews and documentation. To test the validity of the research, researchers used source triangulation. The results show that community participation in the development of Janari Tourism is not fully optimal, especially at the planning stage where the community has not been directly involved in preparing development plans and at the evaluation stage where the community still tends to be passive in providing criticism and suggestions for the development of Janari Tourism.]]>
