Abstract. Pajangan is located in the south-west highlands of Bantul Regency. It has a strategic location that facilitates transportation routes. Pajangan has three villages namely Guwosari, Sendangsari, and Triwidadi. Pajangan has the potential for natural tourism and biodiversity. The potential could be developed into EduTourism Village. The concept of EduTourism is the development of ecotourism based on the environment and added educational content. EduTourism in Pajangan supports the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) concerning sustainable cities and communities and protecting terrestrial ecosystems. The targets of this program are students and public. In its implementation, there are several programs that have been carried out, including the Development of the Anugrah Farmers Women’s Group, Pajangan Orchid Tourism, Biodiversity School, and Diversification of Cultivation Methods with Hydroponic Methods, and Sendangsari Ballet Training. The long-term hope of this village is the creation of a sustainable education and still preserving its flora and fauna.
