<![CDATA[Rural agrotourism has the potential to expand sources of income by linking local products, ecological management, and community participation. This study aims to analyse community perceptions regarding the readiness for the development of Trigona honey agrotourism and to formulate a development framework appropriate to the context of Rangsot Hamlet, North Lombok. The study employed a descriptive cross-sectional survey design conducted from March to May 2026 among 50 respondents selected through purposive sampling based on their knowledge or experience related to Trigona beekeeping, agroforestry, or local tourism. The instrument consisted of 25 four-point Likert-scale statements covering five dimensions; data were analysed using means, frequencies, percentages, and a SWOT analysis based on survey results and the literature. Community participation received the highest average score (3.46), followed by agrotourism potential (3.40), sustainability (3.33), livelihood diversification (3.31), and infrastructure and institutional support (3.17). Promotion (2.96) and support from the village government (3.04) were identified as priority areas for strengthening. The research results indicate strong social readiness and resources, so development efforts can be directed toward habitat conservation, community capacity building, educational tourism, digital marketing, and collaborative governance as the foundation for sustainable livelihood diversification.]]>
