Description

This research aimed to analize the participation of local formal and non formal institutions in agrotourism
management of Wonorejo Reservoir. Institutions studied were formal and non formal institutions operating in
the reservoir area. There were 120 respondents from 12 local institutions comprising 6 formal institutions and 6
non formal constitutions. Of each institution, there were 10 repondents. Leaders of each institution were
selected purposively to serve as key informants, the next nine respondents were selected by using snow ball
method. Agrotourism management observed included activities of planning, organizing, coordinating, and
controlling. Data were analyzed by using descriptive analysis. The result revealed that the participation rates of
both local formal and non formal institutions in the agrotourism management were still low classified as
Moderate Participation. The participation rate of local formal institutions in agrotourism management was
slightly higher than that of local non formal institutions. Obstacles of local institutional participation in the
agrotourism management were: 1) Public Company Jasa Tirta I Tulungagung that was supposed to be
the leading institution for developing agrotourism was only a branch of Public Company Jasa Tirta I Malang and
did not have full authorities in agrotourism management; 2) There was not any coordination among local
institutions. 3) There were uncertainties of duties and authorities among formal institutions; 4) agrotourism was
only considered as a byproduct.
