Based on the study about potential of GI's implementation (Viriyadhika 2014), it was found that Bandung Regency and West Bandung Regency are areas which have high necessary of GI which is about 5.800 Ha. One of the sub district that has high priority of GI is Lembang. However, the willingness of villagers is still unrecognized. As already mentioned before the characteristics of GI it self such as an initiative coordination should be considered. Therefore, there are some important things which shall be observed ; the acceptance rate, the knowledge development, and opportunity of the willingness of rural communities. People perception of GI have big impact for the willingness of rural communities to apply it, and the positive perception on GI is needed as an important criteria to improve the willingness of society. Positive perception is developed by two things, the affection process (interest rate) and the cognition process (introduction).
