Design a Post-Mining Agrotourism BUMDes Wadas Purworejo Comparative Study

Regarding the proposed andesite stone mining in Wadas Village, Bener District, Purworejo Regency, SEMPAT presented both sides of the argument and came to the attention of the general public. The village is currently getting ready to welcome development.

The Sido Makmur Wadas Village Owned Enterprise (BUMDes), which studied four villages simultaneously, conducted a comparative study as the initial step. Four organizations—Umbul Nglanggeran in Patuk Gunung Kidul, Tebing Breksi in Prambanan, Mangunan Fruit Garden, and BUMDes Panggung Lestari in Bantul—taught management and development to as many as 14 administrators of Bumdes Wadas.

On January 21 and 22, 2023, the comparative study was completed. Fuad Rofik, the director of Bumdes Wadas, stated that the goal of this comparative study was to identify the factors that contributed to BUMDes' success in the other regions they visited.

"We are pleased with our village's development. One of them is by creating BUMDes," he stated on Monday (23/1).

He claims that BUMDes is a business platform for rural communities, with the village government holding the majority of the shares. The efforts to enhance the welfare of locals impacted by the andesite stone mining project, which will serve as the foundation for the Bener Dam, must therefore be accompanied by village economic institutions, in this case BUMDes Sido Makmur.

When working on large-scale projects, BUMDes perform not only business-related tasks but also social and political ones. In conversations and negotiations with the governor of Central Java, Ganjar Pranowo, and representatives from the BBWS Serayu-Opak, Fuad revealed that his party also requested that the BUMDes be involved in both implementation and supervision.

We can participate in observing andesite mining through BUMDes, he added, adding that this was something that they had initially rejected. His group will create a master plan for post-mining agrotourism in the future.

At the top of the former mine, in addition to the green belt, there will also be a pond. The reservoir is at its maximum level to irrigate the farms surrounding the site, according to his vision of the master plan, which is based on agrotourism.

It is hoped that a number of parties, especially Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo, will pay close attention in direct proportion to how serious the BUMDes are. "This demonstrates our commitment.

Additionally, the Governor must be sincere in his commitment to considering our goals, according to Fuad. The leader of Wadas Village, Fahri Setianto, added that his village would undergo significant changes as a result of the national strategic project.

Fahri claims that as a result of the project, the village he governs will go through significant changes in terms of its socio-cultural makeup, economy, and landscape. In order to maximize the positive impact and decrease the negative impact, it must be able to do both.

The Wadas Village residents should benefit from it by using it as a source of welfare, so that is the case's "positive impact. We must take lessons from other fields that have achieved success in this regard, he said.

He claimed that the support of Central Java Governor Ganjar Pranowo could not be separated from the effort to conduct a comparative study. The Governor, he claimed, is also dedicated to boosting the capabilities of BUMDes institutions and administrators.

Along with that, of course, there is capital assistance, added Fahri. The situation and surroundings in Wadas Village, according to Andri Kristanto, the head of the Purworejo Regency National Land Agency (BPN), are getting more favorable.

The third stage of the land survey has already started. There are now only 8 fields left out of the original target of 617 fields.

"This was accomplished because Ganjar Pranowo, the governor of Central Java, adopted a dialogical strategy and addressed the issue head-on. There have been at least five conversations between resident groups and the governor, he claimed.

His party is still talking to people who live on the remaining 8 fields as of right now. Fahri said, "We make sure there is no coercion, but we will continue to approach it.

The remaining 8 fields' owners are still being approached by his party (RO/OL-09). Fahri said, "We make sure there is no coercion, but we will continue to approach it.
