<![CDATA[The development of tourism villages has been carried out in several regions in Indonesia as an effort to improve the tourism sector through the management of village potential by the local community. This concept is in line with Community Based Tourism (CBT), as implemented in Desa Wisata Kalongan, which is managed directly by the local community and provides direct benefits. This study aims to identify the management of tourism villages, which consists of several management stages by implementing the CBT concept so that the community can directly benefit. This study uses qualitative methods with observation, interviews, and documentation techniques. Data validity is tested through source and technique triangulation. Data analysis was conducted through collection, reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the management of Desa Wisata Kalongan involves four stages of management that require active community participation, including planning activities with the establishment of vision, mission, objectives, identification of potential, and program development; provision of facilities; and budgeting in accordance with existing policies; organization activities through the formation of organizational structures and participatory work systems; implementation activities supported by coordination, active community involvement, and community development through training; and supervision through monitoring and evaluation in collaboration with the village government. The implementation of CBT is reflected in community involvement in activities, ownership, and decision-making; cultural and environmental preservation; economic benefits for the community; and capacity building through training. The conclusion drawn from the research is that the management of Kalongan Tourism Village is carried out through the stages of planning, organizing, implementation, and supervision, which actively involve the community. The CBT concept is reflected in community participation in management activities, thereby reaping economic benefits, as well as playing a role in cultural and environmental preservation, and training activities that support village tourism development.]]>
