ABSTRACT
Tulamben, Karangasem, Bali is worldwide known for coastal and underwater tourism, with consistent growth in the ocean area, spread along the coastline of this village. This research aims to find the range of the adjustment process by the community that has been involved in tourism development. The range of community participation in Tulamben's development of tourism is measured in the form of quantitative research using questionnaires that relied on the level of community participation established by Arnstein Sheery with the purposive sampling technique. The level of consultation shows that the government asks for inputs from the community after pieces of information are provided. In conclusion, there is a necessity for the programs to be shaped by a suggestion from the needs of the community and they must implicate the community directly for tourism development following the nature and strength of the community itself.
