Abstract
The local community has an important position in the tourism sector. They are the actors who mostly understand the condition and the problems. This paper explores the existence of the local community in tourism development in Ponorogo Regency. This study is qualitative research. Data consisted of primary and secondary data. The data obtained was then analyzed using Miles, Huberman, and Saldana’s (2014) interactive analysis model. The research results show that Ponorogo has 889 art and cultural communities. These communities engage in cultural tourism planning and implementation. The planning process was bottom-up by accommodating the tourism agenda that the local community network had arranged. Local communities also engage directly in cultural tourism activity agenda. Direct engagement can be seen from their participation in the full moon Reyog festival, national Reyog festival, and tourism agenda activity held at villages and districts. Ninety (90) tourism activity agendas are implemented and distributed in villages and districts throughout Ponorogo Regency.
