<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the service capacity and distribution patterns of tourism infrastructure in the Mount Kelud area, Kediri Regency. After the 2014 eruption, the availability of Mount Kelud's tourism infrastructure is still unclear. No research has been conducted to analyze the service capacity and distribution patterns of infrastructure facilities on Mount Kelud. This raises the question of whether the tourism infrastructure at Mount Kelud is adequate to meet the needs of tourists and how it is distributed. This study uses a quantitative approach with a cross-sectional survey design. The researcher uses a scalogram analysis with a Guttman scale to analyze the service capacity of tourism infrastructure. The research sample consists of infrastructure located in Ngancar Subdistrict. The results show that six villages are categorized as adequate, while the other four villages are categorized as inadequate. The distribution pattern of facilities and infrastructure was analyzed using the IDW (Inverse Distance Weighted) interpolation method using QGIS software version 3.44.2. The distribution pattern of Mount Kelud's tourism facilities and infrastructure tends to be concentrated along the main access corridor to the Mount Kelud crater. These findings indicate an imbalance in the distribution of infrastructure that can affect the quality of the tourist experience and the distribution of economic benefits to the local community. Therefore, a spatial-based development strategy is needed to equalize infrastructure, so that villages in the inadequate category can serve as supporting areas and reduce environmental pressure on the core tourist villages. In addition to providing information for readers, this study is expected to contribute to regional tourism planning and policy.]]>
