to fulfill household needs. Bawang Village, Blado Subdistrict, Batang Regency with an
altitude of 625-1125 meters above sea level which is a fertile mountainous and hilly area
and high rainfall. The natural potential possessed by Bawang Village such as nature tourism
is curug (waterfall), hot spring and beautiful scenery. Other potentials such as agriculture,
clove and coffee plantations, culinary and culture can be an income for the village
