<![CDATA[Seribu Goa Ecotourism in Banuarea Village, Humbang Hasundutan Regency, is a karst destination whose development is held back by access, facilities, institutions, and limited community decision power. This study assesses the feasibility of attractions, amenities, and accessibility, describes ancillary services, identifies the level of community participation on Arnstein’s ladder, and formulates a development strategy. A descriptive qualitative design used observation, interviews with 10 informants, documentation, and SWOT assessment sheets completed by 20 participants. The ADO-ODTWA guideline gives an overall feasibility index of 73.48%: attractions 80.56%, amenities 70.00%, and accessibility 62.50%, the only component not yet feasible. Ancillary services have an institutional base but lack capacity, funding, and partnerships. Participation reaches the partnership rung, while strategic authority stays with government. The SWOT position (-0.22; 0.03) falls in quadrant II, which favours a weakness-opportunity strategy: better access, amenities, digital promotion, an area map, Pokdarwis capacity, and wider partnerships. The strategy aims at quality and conservation, not visitor growth.]]>
