<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the potential, existing conditions, challenges, and formulate a women's empowerment model for the development of a Minapolitan tourism village in Berahan Wetan Village, Wedung District, Demak Regency. The research employed a qualitative case study design. Data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation review. The findings indicate that: (1) Berahan Wetan Village possesses strong minapolitan potential, particularly in brackish-water aquaculture, seafood-processing micro, small, and medium enterprises predominantly managed by women, as well as the socio-cultural assets of the coastal community. However, this potential has not been optimally managed due to weak tourism village institutions, limited integration between the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) and the Village-Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), low digital literacy among women, limited infrastructure, and ecological challenges such as coastal abrasion and tidal flooding. These conditions have led to fragmented, unsustainable development of the Minapolitan tourism village. (2) The women's empowerment model is based on a Community-Based Tourism approach integrated into three main pillars: capacity building, institutional strengthening, and the integration of the Minapolitan value chain. This model positions women as key actors in coastal economic diversification and supports the development of an inclusive and sustainable tourism village.]]>
