Abstract
Tourism is a potential services sector, integrating it with Agropolitan concept to support rural area development is necessary. The aim of this study is to map tourism potentials based on 3A, namely Attraction, Amenity, and Accessibility. Conducted in-depth interviews with informants used a qualitative descriptive method and used QGIS 2.18 to analyze, identify, and map the tourism potential destinations in Agropolitan Area Pacitan Regency. The attraction identified in Agropolitan Area are Waterfall (Sabun Waterfall and Watu Senthe River Waterfall), Plateau (Meru Mount, Gembes Mount, and Petuk Gua Mount), Cave (Gajah Barong Cave), and part of rural tourism (Ketek Ogleng Dance, a bamboo weaving center, traditional coffee processing, and the Rice Terrace). Amenity component shows that there is one lodging in Pakisbaru Village with an option to sleep in a local resident house and camping in the surrounding area of natural attractions. Accessibility component shows that transportation facilities to get to the Agropolitan Area are still limited. The synergy between all components can encourage the development of excellent and sustainable tourism so that it can improve the economy of the community around the Agropolitan Area Pacitan Regency.
