Abstract
To assess the relationship between the environmental impact of tourism and the involvement of stakeholders in the community, it is necessary for researchers to comprehend the intricate workings of the procedural framework. To determine the amount and influence of environmental impact on stakeholders' community participation, a macro scale of scrutiny was created using 300 respondents selected at random. This covers the phenomenon being studied, the goals of the research, the type and quality of the investigation, the applicability of the findings, and the resources that are available. On the other hand, investigating how tourism affects the environment has an impact on community involvement because raising awareness of these effects may lead to new ideas for long-term advantages. Together with quantitative descriptive analysis—which stresses objective facts, statistics, and computer methods—and survey-based research, researchers also looked at the link between two or more factors. The researchers' own questionnaire is utilized to collect data, and the statistical techniques in this study are Mean and ANOVA. The results show that there is a significant degree of community participation and tourism's environmental impacts. Lastly, the Dependent Variable Community Participation of Stakeholders is significantly impacted by the Independent Variable Environmental Impact aspects of Tourism.
