The results of the study show that: social potential i.e. inadequate facilities and infrastructure, and community participation that is still lacking in maintaining the cleanliness of tourist attractions. The results of the SWOT analysis are 2 main factors, namely internal factors including strengths such as beautiful natural panoramas, close to the city, good accesibility, availability of large land and weaknesses such as inadequate facilities, poor environmental cleanliness, lack of professional workforce in the management of tourist objects. External factors include opportunities, namely the government's desire to develop the Wawoangi tourism area, and threats namely environmental damage, increasing population. Based on its potential, the development of the Wawoangi tourist area is more directed at the development of facilities and infrastructure such as villas, bathrooms, stalls, trash cans, prayer rooms, and parking lots.
