The issue of welfare and food security has become a global issue. This has an impact on countries such as Indonesia. Increasing population accompanied by population growth resulting in limited land is one of the causes of reduced welfare and food security. The challenge is how to realize sustainable development with optimal use of natural resources so that welfare and food security can be achieved in line with the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Village which has a function to support urban areas and has natural resources become potential to be developed. This is because the village itself is not necessarily able to supply its own needs regarding food security. So it is important to realize an environmentally cultured village. The main objective of this planning is to analyze the aspects that affect the area to support the development of food security ecovillage, identify ecovillage design criteria for adaptive and effective food security through the use of natural resources with the final result of the area masterplan planning. Through the Global Ecovillage Network (GEN) method, five influential aspects in ecovillage planning were reviewed. Data obtained from observations, interviews, and questionnaires will be analyzed and synthesized. The contribution of this research is to provide recommendations for masterplan planning for villages that support the value of welfare and food security based on GEN guidelines. It is expected to be an added value for the village in utilizing natural resources to support sustainable development. The analysis was conducted based on five aspects: ecological, cultural, social, economic, and design integration. The results of the analysis show that the main food needs in KP2B Sarimukti are met by self- grown commodities, local wisdom that is owned is the existence of a waterwheel so that even though the dry season irrigation of rice fields can run smoothly. This is supported by the value of mutual cooperation of the local community due to the formation of farmer groups. The number of farming professions that resulted in the formation of farmer groups because of the natural aspects that support the large number of agricultural areas. The application of modern systems is applied with the availability of hydroponic areas in KP2B Sarimukti. The results of the analysis show that the Sarimukti KP2B planning has three zones related to food security, namely (1) The agroforestry zone, is a zone that functions for food production such as rice, corn supported by the concept of agro-tourism. (2) Silvopasture zone, is a zone that combines forestry and livestock components supported by woody plants and productive fruit plants supported by lower plants as animal feed. (3) Agrofishery zone, which is a combination of the rice-fish system cultivated together. Integrated economic system planning creates a balance between local ecosystems, green industries, and local households that can drive local economic growth. This research contributes to masterplan planning that offers the concept of ecovillage that has a role not only for the environment but also society and the economy that supports human welfare. With criteria, examples of application, and masterplan planning, it is expected to be able and suitable for villages that wish to create an environmentally cultured village with natural resources owned by the surrounding environment.
