Abstract.The spatial planning of the sand dune area in Parangtritis still faces obstacles due to the lack of communication media and information dissemination to the public and related parties. The regulations issued by the local government of Bantul Regency as well as by the Yogyakarta Special Province related to the spatial planning of sand dune area are still too general and too difficult for the community to understand. One of effective and efficient spatial communication media is by using a 3-dimensional model. Therefore, this activity aims to create a 3-dimensional model of spatial planning in the sand dune area in Parangtritis. The model will be placed in Parangtritis Geomaritime Science Park (PGSP) because the number of visitors at PGSP is quite high, i.e., reaching 17,000 people in 2018. The method used in this activity is the study of literature, extraction of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, Focus Group Discussion (FGD) and delineation together with the community and decision makers about the structuring of the sand dune area. The method used in this activity is the literature study, extraction of Digital Elevation Model (DEM) data, Focus Group Discussion (FGD), and delineation together with the community and decision-makers about the spatial planning of the sand dune area. Communities who lived around the sand dune area have been actively involved in FGD activities, the preparation of 3-dimensional models, as well as the marketing strategy also the distribution of sand dune souvenir (e.g., keychain).
