The second resource person is Dr. Hertiari Idajati, ST., M.Sc. ITS tourism and environmental planning expert. Ida explained a case study of preparing the master plan for Sumberwaru Village in Gresik Regency, East Java Province. The preparation of a village master plan begins with the preparation of a village profile. This activity was carried out by observing village conditions, interviews with stakeholders and participatory mapping. Then data analysis was carried out. The data analyzed comes from regional hierarchy, land use, projected infrastructure needs, facility affordability, human resource capacity, village institutions, Village APBDes, trade system, carrying capacity and technology needs as well as analysis of tourism development. All data was analyzed comprehensively using the SWOT analysis method. The results of the SWOT analysis were discussed with the village government and residents through an FGD forum. The results of this FGD become a reference for village development program plans. This village development program will be measured and monitored through achievement indicators. So that targets, achievements and impacts can be measured.
