Abstract

Abstract: Bangkalan Regency, located in the western part of Madura Island, is recognized as one of the strategic tourism destinations based on the Regional Long-Term Development Plan (RPJPD) of Bangkalan Regency 2005–2025, which emphasizes the tourism sector to improve community welfare. The selection of Rato Ebhu Tourism Park is based on the government's plan to develop a tourism hub, the impact of tourism globalization, and the lack of recreational-educational facilities that contribute to regional underdevelopment.This study aims to develop a design concept for Rato Ebhu Tourism Park using a neo-vernacular architectural approach, integrating religious values, art, and local Madurese culture comprehensively. The research method applies a qualitative approach through descriptive analysis and literature review.The design concept adapts traditional Madurese architectural styles into modern forms to preserve local identity while meeting contemporary functional and aesthetic needs. Local materials, traditional ornaments, and indigenous architectural wisdom are the main elements in the design process. Sustainability and energy efficiency are also prioritized through the use of environmentally friendly technologies.The results of the study produce a tourism destination concept rooted in local wisdom that is high-quality, competitive, and sustainable. This approach promotes community empowerment and supports Madura's economic development through innovative strategies for local tourism advancement.
