<![CDATA[Sukaresmi Village, located in Megamendung District, Bogor Regency, possesses significant horticultural potential for agro-tourism development; however, its progress remains constrained by limited community capacity. This study aims to assess the community’s cognitive capacity in supporting agro-tourism development based on Bloom’s Taxonomy. A quantitative approach was employed through questionnaires distributed to 100 respondents, complemented by field observations and semi-structured interviews. Data were analyzed using Likert scale measurement and interval analysis to determine the level of community capacity. The findings indicate that community capacity across all Bloom’s Taxonomy indicators is categorized as moderate, with scores ranging from 53.04% to 55.94%. The knowledge dimension achieved the highest score, whereas the evaluation dimension recorded the lowest. These results suggest that the community possesses a basic understanding of agritourism and has begun to apply agricultural and tourism concepts in practical activities. Nevertheless, higher-order cognitive abilities, particularly in analysis, synthesis, and evaluation, remain relatively limited. This study underscores that the success of agritourism development depends not only on natural resource potential but also on the quality of human resources within the community. Therefore, systematic, sustainable, and practice-based capacity-building initiatives are necessary to enhance community competence in managing agro-tourism in a more innovative, adaptive, and competitive manner. Furthermore, the study highlights the importance of experiential learning and pentahelix collaboration in supporting sustainable community-based agro-tourism development.]]>
