Abstract
Ngesrepbalong Village, located in Limbangan District, Kendal Regency, is one of the buffer villages in the Gebugan Gunung Ungaran protected forest and nature reserve (CA) conservation area which is located at an altitude of 600-1200 MDPL with a diversity of ecosystem types and unique landscapes. Until now, a number of natural objects have become a tourist attraction in the village, one of which is Curuglawe Secepit. So that in an effort to develop the area as an ecotourism destination, it is necessary to carry out a feasibility study or feasibility study, both in the inventory of existing tourism objects and in assessing appropriate resources for tourist attractions. Feasibility study research activities on tourism objects in Ngresepbalong Village were carried out by interview surveys and filling out questionnaires by respondents with a total of 204 respondents consisting of Pokdawrwis Gunungsari, Ngresepbalong Village Officials, Community Leaders, MSME Actors, Visitors and the general public. The assessment was carried out on four aspects, namely tourist attraction, accessibility, accommodation and supporting infrastructure. The survey results show that the aspect of tourist attraction is relatively high and the supporting infrastructure for tourism is currently sufficient. Relatively high natural tourist attraction, one of which is uniqueness related to high natural resources such as waterfalls, caves, flora and fauna and various other uniqueness. Meanwhile, for the aspect of accessibility and accommodation, for now it is not so adequate, as for accessibility, it can be seen from the condition of the rocky road/madam to the tourist sites, besides that most of the roads only have a width of about 3 meters. As for the accommodation aspect, it can be seen from the unavailability of adequate lodging within a radius of 15 km from tourist sites, so that these two aspects need to be prioritized to support the development of ecotourism in Ngresepbalong Village. The assessment of the feasibility level of ecotourism in Ngresepbalong Village shows that the tourism feasibility index produces a value of 85.99 with the category Worth developing, where there are four assessment indicators including aspects of tourist attraction which have medium - high values, accessibility aspects with medium - high values, accommodation aspects with low values. – moderate and aspects of infrastructure with a medium – high score.
