| Abstract | This study aimed to 1. examine the level of community participation in the context of camping tourism, 2. analyze the influence of community participation on the development of draft agreements between business operators and local communities, and 3. develop a framework that supports sustainable tourism. A sequential explanatory mixed methods design was employed. Quantitative data were collected from 451 participants using questionnaires and stratified random sampling, and analyzed using descriptive and inferential statistics (Chi-square). Qualitative data were obtained from 12 key informants, including focus group discussions, and analyzed through content analysis.The research findings revealed that** the overall level of community participation was high ( X ̅ = 3.88). The most prominent aspects included resource management, land use, and the regulation of tourist numbers. However, the community also expressed concerns regarding water usage, waste management, environmental impacts, and safety issues. In addition, statistically significant differences were found among certain groups of respondents. In particular, age was identified as a significant factor influencing the evaluation of agreementsThe study developed a draft agreement consisting of 7 key dimensions and 21 components, covering resources, land use, environment, safety, local economy, management, and monitoring mechanisms. Among stakeholders, 85.6% agreed that the framework is practically applicable, and 81.2% considered it verifiable. The Chi-square test revealed that age significantly influenced the evaluation of the draft agreement (p < 0.001). Overall, most stakeholders perceived the agreement as both feasible and accountable, and additionally proposed the establishment of a local fund to support community development and conservation efforts.In conclusion, the proposed agreement framework effectively balances economic growth, environmental sustainability, and community empowerment. The study also presents an integrated model linking participation theory with practical agreement mechanisms, offering a valuable prototype for sustainable community-based tourism development in other contexts. |
