Socio-economic conditions can also be improved through empowerment initiatives in tourism, highlighting the importance of inclusive participation in the planning and execution of such programs (Scheyvens & Watt, 2.

INTRODUCTION
The transformation of Pancoran Village through an edu-tourism approach and green environmental management is a strategic initiative aimed at sustainably improving the quality of life for local Edu-tourism, which integrates elements of education and recreation, serves as a catalyst for community empowerment by fostering local capacity building and environmental This approach not only enhances the economic prospects of the village but also strengthens local cultural values, holistically supporting community development.
Community support is a critical factor in the success of sustainable tourism initiatives, where residents' perceptions of economic, social, environmental, and cultural benefits become key determinants (Bajrami et al.
, 2.
Community involvement in the planning and management of tourism is also essential, as local knowledge can promote sustainable practices and enhance visitor experiences (Alipour et al.
, 2020.
Ursa, 2.
Edutourism in Pancoran Village can increase environmental awareness by engaging tourists in educational activities that emphasize sustainability while reinforcing the cultural identity of the local community, which is vital for preserving cultural heritage (Rasoolimanesh et al.
, 2021.

Additionally, this initiative can drive economic growth through job creation and the promotion of local entrepreneurship, contributing to improved living standards (Woli, 2.
Inclusive edu-tourism, especially for marginalized groups, can also enhance community participation and social cohesion (Amalia, 2.
Community empowerment in sustainable tourism development is considered vital because the active involvement of local communities at every stage, from planning to implementation, is necessary.
Through such engagement, synergy between communities and governments can be fostered, promoting the sustainable utilization of local resources (Leyn-Gymez et al.
, 2.
Research shows that involving local communities in the planning and management of tourism facilitates a sustainability and the economic benefits derived (Harilal & Tichaawa, 2.
In this regard, proper empowerment is required to enable communities to play an active role in green environmental environmental conservation and quality-of-life improvements (Akbar et al.
, 2.
Furthermore, direct community involvement has been shown to enhance the sense of ownership over natural resources, a crucial element for the sustainability of tourism initiatives (Bellato & Cheer, 2.
Collaborative approaches based on community empowerment have also proven to increase the efficiency of green environmental programs while expanding economic benefits through inclusive tourism management (KersuliN et al.
, 2.
Consequently, participation into sustainable tourism practices is critical to supporting resilience and ensuring longterm benefits for local residents (Monterrubio et , 2.
The preservation, environmental conservation, and community empowerment in tourism planning has been emphasized as an effort to achieve long-term sustainability in rural areas (Dolnisar, 2.
Community-based management has been reported to increase the effectiveness of natural resource conservation while providing economic benefits for local residents (Hartono et al.
, 2.
The vast potential for sustainable development through edu-tourism programs, particularly those aligned with green environmental management, has been identified by involving local communities in tourism activities (Dewantara, 2.
This The rapid urbanization in Indonesia has caused significant changes in land use, resulting in the reduction of green open spaces and affecting environmental quality.
These impacts are evident - 25 - Gumilang, et al / Transformation of Pancoran Village through Education Tourism and Green Environment Management for Sustainable Empowerment / 24-34 from increased air pollution, decreased groundwater infiltration, and reduced biodiversity.
In response, various cities in Indonesia have launched eco-friendly programs to maintain urban The development of urban parks and the greening of residential areas have been implemented, which have proven effective in improving environmental health.
Research shows that urban green spaces play a crucial role in reducing pollution, suppressing noise, and lowering air temperatures (Delgado-Baquerizo et , 2.
Furthermore, community involvement in green space management fosters a strong sense of ownership, ensuring the sustainability of environmental programs.
Collaboration between governments and communities is seen as a key element in achieving environmental sustainability in urban areas.
Strategies that integrate greening into urban spatial planning and raise public awareness about the benefits of green spaces are considered capable of mitigating the negative impacts of urbanization.
This approach not only enhances environmental quality but also provides social and economic benefits, such as increased property values and improved public health.
Pancoran Village, leveraging community creativity and innovation is essential to improve economic productivity and quality of life amidst urbanization challenges, supported by continuous training and support for residents to strengthen their role in environmental conservation.

Effective stakeholder collaboration can strengthen community ownership and support the implementation of environmental policies, driving inclusive and sustainable transformation (Pujihartati, 2.
Moreover, strong green environmental management plays an important role in community empowerment, as programs focused on cleanliness and waste management can encourage active community participation in environmental preservation (Gupta, 2.
These initiatives not only improve environmental health but also build collective awareness of sustainability, ultimately benefiting society as a whole (Tommy, 2.
education-based environmental programs is key to helping communities understand the benefits of sustainable resource management practices.
Research by Purnomo et al.
shows that participation can foster a sense of shared responsibility, ensuring long-term sustainability (Sun et al.
, 2.
By increasing awareness and significantly to ecosystem balance and the creation of livable environments.
The transformation of Pancoran Village through the integration of edutourism with green environmental management serves as an innovative model for community This integrates education, community participation, and sustainable natural resource management, driving holistic change (Sinaga & Purike, 2.
This model is flexible enough to be replicated in other areas, offering viable solutions to the challenges of urbanization that negatively impact the environment and community well-being (Soharwardi & Ahmad, 2.
Strengthening education and participation in environmental initiatives is therefore essential to building resilient communities capable of addressing urbanization complexities while promoting sustainability (Didi, 2.
Community empowerment processes in tourism development often face challenges, particularly due to limited access to resources and information environmental initiatives (Coy et al.
, 2.
These issues are further exacerbated by a lack of stakeholder coordination and inadequate policy support for local community empowerment (Samsu et al.
, 2.
Strategic efforts are needed to opportunities for communities to derive direct benefits from tourism development, including through increased access to training, funding, and technology (Tommy, 2.
A participatory approach is crucial to addressing these constraints, especially in Pancoran Village, where active involvement of government, non-governmental organizations, and local communities is key to the sustainability of environmental programs (Stober RESEARCH METHOD Community Service Implementation Methods in Pancoran Village: Integration of Art.
