| Summary: | Peatlands having undergone fires are often left alone and no longer managed by the community on the grounds of being less productive and efficient. This study examined how the community's perspective on the existence of burned land can be used as a location for developing agrotourism based on local wisdom. The location of the research was carried out on the people living around the area of Gelebak Dalam Village, Rambutan Subdistrict, Banyuasin District, considering that there was burned land which was used as a pilot model for agrotourism development sites in Banyuasin District. This study used analytical descriptive method. Data were collected using interview, observation and documentation techniques. The number of respondents was determined purposively as many as 30 people from the community living in Gelebak Dalam Village. The data analysis method used a Likert scale, through the submission of questions presented in the form of a questionnaire, and then the answers were given a score. The results of the study showed that the total score of the community's perspective measured from four indicators (mechanisms, benefits, rights and obligations) was 37.73 belonging to the good category. This shows that in principle, most of the community agrees and supports the use of burned peatland to be the location for agrotourism development in the Banyuasin District area. The mechanism indicator has the highest score in the sense that the mechanism being implemented was very good and easy for the community to understand. Meanwhile, the indicator of rights had the lowest score in the sense that some people still did not understand the rights obtained from the activities. However, it is necessary to conduct a feasibility study (FS) first in order to find out how big the economic prospects of this activity are in the future.
