Sragen is one of the poorest districts in Indonesia with a poverty rate of 13.8%; this figure is higher than the poverty rate of Central Java Province that was 11% in 2018 (sragenkab.bps.go.id). One of the poorer villages in Sragen is Krikilan Village, Kalijambe District that also a part of the Sangiran tourist area. However, the existence of this Sangiran museum has not had much impact on the community economic development. The poverty portrait is not only seen from the community income level, but also can be seen from the quality of most semi-permanent housing. The government efforts to overcome the poverty are still focused on developing the Sangiran Museum physically and have not involved the local community. The lack of good cooperation in the tourism development in Sangiran and its surrounding area is the important key that needs to be studied further. Therefore, this study aims to identify the stages needed in the development of Krikilan Tourism Village based on the principle of sustainable rural tourism especially on institutional and policy aspects. The research method used is qualitative with several objectives; starting from mapping potentials and problems carried out to determine the main issues. Then, identification of tourism development policies and stakeholder mapping to find out related actors in the development of Krikilan tourism village. Likewise, some lessons learned from best practice in developing rural tourism has become one of the inputs in the formulation of stages. Whereas the data collection method of is done through field observations and interviews with stakeholders in Sragen Regency, the analysis method used is qualitative descriptive.
