INTRODUCTION Restoration of local tourism sites and environmental conservation have long been focal points in community development initiatives (Dłużewska, 2021; Pandia et al., 2023; Rogerson, 2021). However, previous studies have often encountered several challenges that limit the effectiveness and sustainability of these efforts (Jordan, 2022; Morar, 2021). highlighted that community-driven tourism projects frequently struggle due to the absence of continuous local engagement (Jamal, 2020; Wibowo et al., 2023), leading to the deterioration of restored sites over time (Battle, 2020; Fusté-Forné, 2020; Yulianeta et al., 2024). This underscores the importance of fostering a sense of ownership among residents to ensure longterm maintenance and success. Another significant challenge is the inadequate integration of environmental sustainability into tourism development (Giovani et al., 2023; Madaleno, 2019; Nepal, 2022). Research demonstrated that many tourism restoration projects fail to consider the ecological impact adequately (Gato, 2022; Rastegar, 2023), resulting in environmental degradation and loss of biodiversity (del Pilar Leal Londoño, 2021; Mira, 2019; Quevedo, 2021). Their findings suggest that incorporating robust environmental assessments and sustainable practices is crucial for tourism enhancement and ecological preservation (Marino, 2021; Soares, 2021; Stoffelen, 2020). This necessitates a comprehensive approach that balances tourism development with environmental conservation. Empirical evidence also points to the need for infrastructural improvements in local tourism sites. According to a study conducted by Lee and Kim (2019), the lack of essential facilities such as public restrooms (Whitburn, 2019), recreational areas (Ilunga-Mulala, 2021), and clear signage significantly This is an Creative Commons License This work is licensed under a Creative Commons Attribution-NonCommercial 4.0 International License Zain, L . et al., ││ Restoration of Sekar Wilis Local... detracts from the visitor experience, thus reducing the attractiveness of the destination (Gunaeni, 2021). These findings indicate that infrastructural enhancements are critical to attracting and retaining tourists (Gholamhoseini, 2022; Thakur, 2020), thereby boosting local economies. The restoration of Sekar Wilis' local tourism and planting plant seeds present numerous advantages for the environment and the local community (Atteya, 2022; Lafta, 2019). Increasing the attractiveness of Sekar Wilis as a tourist destination can significantly boost the local economy by attracting more visitors (Choirudin et al., 2021; Saryoko, 2021; Thakur, 2022), generating income for local businesses and creating job opportunities. Additionally, enhanced tourism infrastructure and facilities can improve the quality of life for residents by providing better recreational spaces and amenities. Empirical evidence from previous studies has shown that well-maintained and attractive tourist destinations can lead to increased tourist satisfaction and repeat visits (Dhillon, 2022; Firdaus, 2022), which are crucial for sustainable tourism development (Smith & Richards, 2013; Johnson et al., 2017). Moreover, the environmental benefits of planting plant seeds are substantial. Reforestation and the planting of diverse plant species can help restore ecological balance, improve air quality, and promote biodiversity. Studies have demonstrated that green spaces and vegetation can mitigate the urban heat island effect, reduce carbon dioxide levels, and provide habitats for various wildlife species (Chiesura, 2004; Tzoulas et al., 2007). In the context of Sekar Wilis, planting plant seeds can combat erosion, enhance soil fertility, and contribute to the overall ecological health of the area. This not only supports the environmental sustainability of the region but also enhances its aesthetic appeal, making it a more attractive destination for tourists. The restoration of local tourism and environmental sustainability are critical components in enhancing the well-being and prosperity of communities. In the case of Sekar Wilis, a local tourist destination in Kesugihan Village, a comprehensive effort to rejuvenate the area has been initiated. This study focuses on the collaborative efforts between the residents, youth organizations, and community leaders in restoring Sekar Wilis and promoting environmental stewardship through the planting of plant seeds. The active involvement of the community is paramount to the success and longevity of these restoration efforts, fostering a sense of ownership and responsibility towards the environment. The significance of community engagement in environmental conservation and sustainable tourism cannot be overstated. Previous research by Pretty (1995) and Bramwell & Lane (2000) has demonstrated that projects with high levels of community involvement tend to achieve better outcomes and ensure that the benefits are distributed equitably among all stakeholders. By involving local residents and youth organizations in the restoration activities, this project aims to cultivate environmental stewardship and a deeper connection to the natural resources within the community. This engagement is expected to lead to sustained maintenance and conservation efforts, ultimately benefiting both the environment and the local population. The current study on the restoration of Sekar Wilis local tourism and the planting of plant seeds addresses several critical issues (Dlomo, 2021), including community involvement (Giampiccoli, 2020), environmental sustainability, and infrastructural development (Mendoza-Moheno, 2021). By focusing on these key areas, the project aims to create a model for effective and sustainable local tourism restoration (AbdelMaksoud, 2021). The collaboration with Kesugihan Village residents and youth organizations is anticipated to foster a strong sense of community ownership, ensuring the longevity of the restoration efforts. Furthermore, the project's emphasis on planting plant seeds underscores a commitment to enhancing biodiversity and ecological balance, essential to sustainable tourism development. Through these integrated efforts, the study aims to generate wide-ranging benefits, contributing to the well-being and prosperity of all stakeholders involved. 2.

RESULTS AND DISCUSSION This section elaborates on the specific findings and discussions derived from the restoration activities conducted in Sekar Wilis (Thapa, 2022), focusing on various aspects such as geographical assessments, community engagement, environmental improvements, infrastructure developments, and sustainability. The following subsections provide a detailed account of the empirical evidence gathered and the impact of the interventions on local tourism and the environment. A. Geographical Assessments and Community Engagement The project's initial phase involved comprehensive geographical mapping and situation analysis (Asteris, 2019; Camuffo, 2019). This phase was critical for identifying the specific needs and challenges faced by Sekar Wilis as a local tourist destination (Jiang, 2019; Román, 2019). Through detailed geographical assessments, the team was able to map out key areas that required immediate intervention. The process included the use of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to create accurate maps highlighting zones needing restoration and development. Community Engagement was another pivotal aspect of this phase. Community interviews played a crucial role in gathering insights from residents and local youth organizations. Empirical evidence from previous studies underscores the importance of community involvement in the success of local tourism projects. For instance, a study by Tosun (2000) on community participation in tourism development in Turkey demonstrated that active local involvement leads to more sustainable tourism practices and greater 125 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 122-134 Zain, L . et al., ││ Restoration of Sekar Wilis Local... community satisfaction. Similarly, research by Okazaki (2008) in Japan highlighted that community-based tourism initiatives enhance local culture and traditions and significantly contribute to economic development. To substantiate these findings, the following table provides a summary comparison of geographical assessments and community engagement impacts in different countries: Country Turkey Study Tosun (2000) Japan Okazaki (2008) Indonesia Pitana Diarta (2009) & Key Findings Community participation enhances sustainability and satisfaction in tourism projects. Community-based tourism fosters cultural preservation and economic growth. Local involvement is crucial for the success and sustainability of tourism programs. Empirical Evidence: During the project, the geographical mapping revealed that certain areas, such as children’s play areas and public toilets (Ramaano, 2023), were in dire need of repair and maintenance. Community interviews indicated an intense desire among residents to improve these facilities to attract more visitors and provide a better experience. Environmental assessments further supported these findings, highlighting the need for ecological restoration by planting native plant seeds. In conclusion, combining geographical assessments and active community engagement has proven to be an effective strategy for restoring Sekar Wili's local tourism (Elgammal, 2022; Kunasekaran, 2022). The empirical evidence from previous studies and the data collected during this project underscores the importance of these methods in achieving sustainable and impactful outcomes. The continued involvement of the community and youth organizations is expected to ensure the longevity and success of these restoration efforts. B. Repainting and Repair of Children's Play Areas The focus on repainting and repairing children's play areas in Sekar Wilis was driven by the need to enhance the aesthetic and functional aspects of these spaces (Holland, 2022; Uslu, 2020). According to research by the National Recreation and Park Association (NRPA), well-maintained playgrounds significantly contribute to the overall attractiveness of a tourism site, encouraging longer visits and repeat tourism. The study emphasizes that vibrant and safe playgrounds are crucial for community well-being and can act as a magnet for both local residents and visitors. Empirical evidence from a study conducted by the University of Exeter found that access to wellmaintained recreational areas is linked to improved mental health and physical activity among children. This is particularly relevant in the context of Sekar Wilis, where the community's engagement with the environment is vital. The repainting efforts included using non-toxic, weather-resistant paints that ensure longevity and safety. The repairs addressed structural issues such as broken swings and slides, which were replaced or reinforced to meet safety standards. In the case of other countries, similar initiatives have shown positive outcomes. For example, a project in Melbourne, Australia, involved the refurbishment of local playgrounds (Lapuz, 2023; Naidoo, 2021), which led to a 30% increase in family visits to the area within six months. The project also reported a notable rise in community pride and involvement in local tourism activities. Similarly, a study in Norway highlighted that enhancing playgrounds in tourist areas contributed to a 25% rise in visitor satisfaction and a 15% increase in tourism-related revenue. The improvements made in Sekar Wilis are expected to yield comparable benefits (Chan, 2021; Kihima, 2019). The enhanced play areas not only provide safer environments for children but also serve as focal 126 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 122-134 Zain, L . et al., ││ Restoration of Sekar Wilis Local... points for family-friendly tourism. This aligns with the broader objectives of the project to boost the attractiveness and sustainability of the Sekar Wilis tourist destination, promoting positive environmental and social outcomes for the local community. Table: Empirical Evidence Supporting Playground Enhancements Study/Location Findings Impact NRPA, USA (Wani, Well-maintained Increased visitor 2024) playgrounds attract more satisfaction and visitors and encourage repeat tourism longer stays University of Exeter, UK Access to well-maintained Enhanced community (Zhuang, 2019) recreational areas improves well-being and mental health physical activity Melbourne, Australia Refurbishment led to a 30% Rise in community increase in family visits pride and local tourism activities Norway (Purnomo, Playground enhancements Boost in tourism2020) increased visitor satisfaction related revenue by 25% By leveraging these insights, the Sekar Wilis project anticipates significant community and tourism benefits, fostering a more vibrant and sustainable environment for all stakeholders. C. Installation of Additional Facilities and Infrastructure To further enhance the attractiveness of Sekar Wilis, additional facilities such as benches, picnic tables, and trash bins were installed (Halim, 2022; Jehan, 2023). The restoration of public toilets and the reinstatement of water access were crucial steps in improving the overall visitor experience (Tiwari, 2021; Zhang, 2020). Previous research indicates that the availability of basic amenities is a significant factor in tourists' decision-making process and overall satisfaction with a destination. Including these facilities aligns with findings from various studies (da Silva, Restoring public toilets and Reinstating 2019; Leal, 2022). According to a study by Crompton and Love (1995), quality amenities significantly impact visitor satisfaction and loyalty to a destination (Chang, 2020; Saarinen, 2019). Based on surveys conducted in multiple urban parks in the United States, this study concluded that amenities such as seating areas, clean restrooms, and waste disposal facilities contribute substantially to the overall enjoyment and repeat visitation of tourists. Similarly, a comparative analysis of tourist destinations in Italy by De Carlo and Canali (2013) found that destinations with well-maintained public amenities and infrastructure tend to attract more visitors and receive higher satisfaction ratings. Ensuring the availability of essential amenities is beneficial for visitor comfort and plays a significant role in preserving the area's environmental quality. By providing trash bins, for instance, the likelihood of littering is reduced, thereby maintaining the cleanliness and natural beauty of the tourist site. Empirical evidence from the restoration activities at Sekar Wilis supports these findings. Postinstallation surveys indicated a marked increase in visitor satisfaction, with specific praise for the new benches and picnic tables (Soares, 2021; Wang, 2024), which enhanced the leisure experience (Bichler, 2021; Weaver, 2022). The restoration of public toilets and water access was particularly well-received, as these facilities are fundamental for the convenience and hygiene of visitors. Such positive feedback underscores the importance of investing in basic infrastructure to boost the appeal and sustainability of local tourism destinations. In conclusion, the installation of additional facilities and infrastructure at Sekar Wilis has proven to be a pivotal aspect of the restoration project. The enhancement of amenities not only improves visitor experiences but also promotes sustainable tourism practices, ensuring that the site remains attractive and environmentally viable for future generations. D. Planting of Various Plant Seeds 127 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 122-134 Zain, L . et al., ││ Restoration of Sekar Wilis Local... The planting of various plant seeds was a critical component of the Sekar Wilis restoration project. This initiative aimed at promoting biodiversity and ensuring ecological balance within the region. Studies have shown that increasing plant diversity can significantly enhance ecosystem resilience and stability. According to a study by Tilman et al. (1997), ecosystems with higher plant diversity tend to be more productive and better at withstanding environmental stressors, which underscores the importance of this approach in the restoration efforts at Sekar Wilis. To ensure the effectiveness of this strategy (Jiménez, 2022; Rao, 2021), the project team selected a range of native plant species known for their adaptability to local conditions and their role in supporting local wildlife (Jiao, 2020; Stone, 2020). For example, the inclusion of flowering plants like Heliconia rostrata and Hibiscus rosa-sinensis was intended to attract pollinators such as bees and butterflies, thereby enhancing pollination and contributing to the overall health of the ecosystem. Furthermore, the planting of trees like Ficus benjamina and Terminalia catappa provides habitat and food for various bird species, promoting avian biodiversity. Empirical evidence from similar restoration projects in other countries supports these practices. A study conducted in Costa Rica by Holl et al. (2003) demonstrated that reforestation with a mix of native species led to significant increases in both plant and animal biodiversity over time. Similarly, a project in India by Chazdon et al. (2009) highlighted that the reintroduction of native flora contributed to the recovery of ecological functions and services, such as soil fertility and water regulation. In conclusion, the planting of various plant seeds is not only a vital step in restoring Sekar Wilis but also a proven method supported by extensive empirical evidence (Bronzini, 2022; Gautam, 2023). By fostering a diverse and resilient ecosystem, this initiative aims to create a sustainable environment that benefits both the local community and the broader ecological landscape. The continued involvement of Kesugihan Village residents and youth organizations will be crucial in maintaining these efforts and ensuring the long-term success of the project. E. Installation of Warning Signboards and Gathering Community Feedback Safety and community feedback were integral components of the project. Warning signboards were installed to guide visitors and ensure their safety. They were strategically placed at critical locations such as entrance points, nearby water bodies, and around play areas to mitigate potential hazards. Various studies and practices in other tourism destinations have widely supported this proactive safety measure. For instance, research by the World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) highlights the importance of wellplaced informational and warning signboards in enhancing tourists' safety and overall experience. Community feedback was gathered through surveys and interviews (Sharpley, 2023; Yu, 2022), enabling the assessment of the project's effectiveness and identification of further improvement areas (Ghaderi, 2019; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2022a). Prior studies, such as those conducted by the Tourism Management Institute, emphasize the role of continuous community engagement and feedback in sustaining tourism projects. For example, empirical evidence from a study on community-based tourism in Thailand (Garner, 2019; Sampath, 2021) shows that active community participation leads to more successful and sustainable tourism initiatives. In Kesugihan Village, the feedback collected revealed a positive reception towards the newly installed safety signboards (Toselli, 2019), with community members acknowledging an increased sense of security (Andrade-Suárez, 2020; Freites, 2019; McLoughlin, 2019). Additionally, residents provided valuable insights into areas where further improvements could be made (Wijijayanti, 2020), such as enhancing the visibility of certain signboards and incorporating multilingual information to cater to international visitors (Hernandez-Maskivker, 2021; Higgins-Desbiolles, 2022b; Yi, 2022). The feedback mechanism improved the current project and fostered a sense of ownership and responsibility among the local community (Goodwin, 2019), which is crucial for the long-term sustainability of the restoration efforts. 128 JIPDIMAS: Journal of Innovation and Development of Community Service Results | 122-134 Zain, L . et al., ││ Restoration of Sekar Wilis Local...
