<![CDATA[The development of an ecotourism area in Gunung Saribu Village, Karo Regency, is directed at optimizing the natural, cultural, and environmental potential while maintaining the local character of the area. This community service activity aimed to develop an area plan and design for Menara Api as part of the ecotourism development of Gunung Saribu Village. The activity employed a local potential-based area planning approach through field observation, documentation, literature review, design development, consultation, and presentation of the design to the community. The results showed that Gunung Saribu Village has potential in the form of forest areas, agricultural activities, mountainous landscapes, cultural activities, forest products, and Menara Api as a site with historical and tourism value. The planning results included an area zoning plan, Menara Api area plan, key plan, and Menara Api design by maintaining the existing structure and incorporating elements of Karo traditional house architecture. The design was subsequently presented to the community and received feedback regarding the addition of a prayer room around Menara Api. The resulting plan can serve as an input for the Gunung Saribu Village Government in organizing and developing the Menara Api area as a community-based ecotourism area.]]>
