Fun Trail Run Nyigar Alas Watusigar: Multi-Stakeholder Collaboration for Sustainable Sport Tourism Development.
Gunungkidul Regency faces significant socio-economic vulnerability, characterized by a high poverty rate and urbanization that affects human capital capacity at the village level. Watusigar Village has considerable potential for tourism development through its ecological landscape and local cultural heritage. However, gaps in governance, limited tourism product diversification, and weak institutional capacity of the Tourism Awareness Group (Pokdarwis) remain challenges. This article analyzes the planning and implementation of the “Nyigar Alas Watusigar” Fun Trail Run as a tourism product innovation based on sport tourism, using Participatory Rural Appraisal (PRA) and Community-Based Tourism (CBT) approaches. PRA was implemented through social mapping, focus group discussions, problem prioritization, and participatory action planning. The findings demonstrate that multi-stakeholder collaboration strengthened planning quality, facilitated the co-production of knowledge, and improved the managerial capacity of Pokdarwis. The Fun Trail Run also contributed to tourism product diversification, destination image enhancement, and community participation. Integrating PRA and CBT offers a practical model for sustainable, community-based sport tourism development that can potentially be replicated in other tourism villages in Indonesia.
