Abstract
The world of tourism today continues to experience significant growth. One of its forms can be seen from the increasing number and development of tourism in the area which is packaged in the form of a tourism village. Tourism villages are efforts to develop local community-based tourism development that has a sustainable development flow. One of the important aspects in the development of tourism villages is the existence of the Tourism Awareness Group (known as Pokdarwis). Pokdarwis is a community institution consisting of business actors in the tourism sector who have a sense of concern and responsibility as driving agents in maintaining and developing regional tourism. The existence of tourism villages and Pokdarwis in carrying out their activities needs to be strengthened with a legal protection to ensure legal certainty. To answer these problems, the type of research used is juridical normative by examining various laws and regulations and literature that are relevant to the theme discussed. So that this study came to the conclusion that there is a legal emptiness related to tourism villages as an effort to develop tourism in Indonesia, the legal emptiness results in not optimal duties, functions and roles of Pokdarwis in efforts to advance tourism villages.
