Abstract. Geographically, Jongkangan is a sub village located in Tamanmartani Village, Kalasan District, Sleman Regency. The position of the sub village is very strategic, because it is located along an alternative road connecting Yogyakarta-Klaten in the north. This road is also one of the alternative roads from Prambanan Temple to Kedulan Temple so it is one of the most crowded roads by vehicles. Topographically, Jongkangan sub-village consists of river ledok, homeland, agricultural land and plantation land. Along this river there are also several sources of eternal spring water that are very clear, namely: Water sources (umbul) Gilang whose water is used for irrigating rice fields in the southern hamlet of Jongkangan, and the spring (belik) which is said to be the bathing place of Raja Balitung after hunting in the bush around Kedulan Temple. Based on the conditions in the Jongkangan Hamlet, the existence of a spring (belik) which is said to be the bathing place of the King of Balitung and the remaining stones from the ruins of the Jongkangan Temple Site has the potential to become a new tourist attraction in Yogyakarta. The objectives of the fostered village-based community service activities in the Jongkangan Hamlet Tamanmartani Village are: (1) Increasing the tourism potential in the Jongkangan Hamlet of Tamanmartani Village to become a nature-based tourism tour and environmental-based education through the arrangement of tourist sites in the Raja Belitung Park site; (2) Preparation of competent human resources in the management of tourism villages through training and assistance in making tourist leaflets and determining tour package prices; (3) Making leaflets and websites for promotional media; and (4) Making agroforestry demonstration plots that combine the management of agricultural and forestry plants as a complement to natural attractions.
