Abstract

Background: Environmental degradation, particularly the global groundwater crisis, necessitates a fundamental shift in human behaviour towards more sustainable resource management. Objective: This study aims to design and evaluate an Integrated Conservation Edu-tourism (ICET) model in the Sulangai Tourism Village, Bali, with a focus on bridging the gap between technical conservation and experiential tourism. Methodology: The model was developed using the Ergonomics SHIP (Systemic, Holistic, Interdisciplinary, and Participatory) approach. This action research integrated technical infrastructure strengthening, such as Rainwater Harvesting (RWH) recharge wells, with human capital development through training and mentoring. The performance was measured using a pre-test and post-test framework to assess changes in community competency and awareness. Results: The SWOT analysis positioned the project in the "Aggressive Zone," indicating strong potential for growth-oriented strategies. Post-intervention results showed a significant increase in technical competency, particularly in water conservation and waste management, with technical skills surging by 15.17%. Furthermore, 83.90% of participants expressed readiness to serve as Disaster Response Village Squads. Conclusion: The ICET model effectively transforms the delivery of passive tourist experiences into active conservation participation, empowering local communities in managing the ICET and becoming competent environmental stewards. This approach provides a scalable blueprint for sustainable rural tourism.
