The Carik Injeman Area is a land owned by Cibodas Village, with an extent of 20 Ha, which is yet to be optimized until today. The potentials contained its surrounding areas are highly potential to be developed as an agro-ecotourism area. One of these potentials identified in the Carik Injeman area is the application of the Integrated Farming System, which is also a part of the cultural aspect found in Cibodas Village society. The other potentials that support the initialization of agro-ecotourism in this area are the cultivation of 110 forest trees species, various types of vegetables, and coffee plantation. This research aims to measure the people’s perception of Carik Injeman area optimization as an agro-ecotourism area. This research is conducted using a descriptive-qualitative method with observation, interview, and focus group discussion (FGD) as data collection methods. The people in Cibodas are divided into 14 RW. The sampling technique in this research is a random sampling technique with the heads of the family as samples. The result of this research reveals that the Carik Injeman area is highly likely to be developed into agro-ecotourism by adding numerous supportive attractions, which will improve the prosperity of the people in Cibodas Village.
