Abstract

This study was conducted to determine the extent of the influence of Green Paradise ecotourism on the welfare of the community in Bumi Agung Sub-district, Pagaralam City. The research employed a quantitative approach using a survey method. Data were collected from 100 respondents who are residents living near the tourism area. The analysis revealed that Green Paradise ecotourism has a positive and significant effect on the level of community welfare. This is supported by the results of a simple linear regression analysis, which produced the regression equation Y = 26.343 + 0.569X, with a significance value of 0.000, which is less than 0.05. This indicates that the alternative hypothesis (Ha) is accepted and the null hypothesis (H0) is rejected. Moreover, the t-test showed a calculated t-value of 8.933, which is greater than the t-table value of 1.660. The coefficient of determination (R Square) was 0.449 or 44.9%, indicating that Green Paradise ecotourism can explain 44.9% of the variation in community welfare, while the remaining 55.1% is influenced by other factors not examined in this study. These findings clearly indicate that the existence of Green Paradise ecotourism has a positive impact on the welfare of the surrounding community.
