The Relationship Between Urban Farming Learning and The Successful Development of Tourism Villages in Lestari Village, Kebonsari Village, Sukun District, Malang City

Abstract

This study aims to examine in depth the relationship between urban farming learning
and the success of tourism village development in Kampung Lestari, Kebonsari Village,
Sukun District, Malang City. Tourism, particularly tourism village development, plays
a crucial role in improving the welfare of local communities through economic
diversification and community empowerment. In this context, urban farming is
identified as a highly relevant and sustainable innovative approach to tourism village
development. This practice not only contributes to local food security but also has
significant potential to become a unique educational tourist attraction, offering
interactive experiences for visitors, and actively empowering local residents in
managing their environmental potential. This study used quantitative methods with a
descriptive approach to analyze the collected data. Data were obtained through a
survey involving participants in Kampung Lestari and analyzed using statistical
techniques to identify significant relationships between variables. The results
consistently indicate a significant and positive relationship between the level of
community understanding and participation in urban farming learning and the
success of tourism village development. These findings indicate that the more
intensive and effective the implementation and understanding of urban farming
principles by the community, the higher the success of tourism villages in achieving
their development goals, including increasing local economic income and increasing
active community participation.
