Abstract
The purpose of this research is to propose a CBE development strategy in the Gunung Mutis Nature Reserve Area. Data collection techniques were obtained by observation, in-depth interviews conducted with village heads, community leaders and local communities through focus group discussions, documentation and literature study. The data analysis method used is the SWOT (Strong, Weakness, Opportunity and Threat) analysis. Results show that community participation is still limited as an object of ecotourism development and has not yet reached the stage of planning and evaluation. There is need for assistance and training to the community to improve human resources and improvement of infrastructure and if managed by applying the concept of Community Based Ecotourism (CBE) which places local communities as the holder of full control in management and development, it will contribute in the form of improving community welfare and the sustainability of local culture
