Capacity is the main element for farmers in achieving their goals. Farmer’s Capacity consists elements of knowledge, attitude, and skills. With the increasing number of visits in Bali, especially Jatiluwih Agrotourism, farmers should be the subject of management so that they can fully enjoy the benefits of the visit. With the existence of agrotourism, agriculture and tourism can be a pair of harmonious sectors. Tourist’s feedback on the satisfaction and intention to revisit can be an input in the effort to increasing the farmer’s capacity in agrotourism management for its sustainability. This paper analyzes Farmer’s Capacity for Jatiluwih Agrotourism Management and Its Influence toward Tourist’s Satisfaction and Intention to Revisit. Primary and secondary data were obtained through interviews and filling out questionnaires with the Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) analysis method. The results of Partial Least Square (PLS) analysis show that farmer’s capacity has a significant effect on tourists’s satisfaction, which leads to tourists’s intention to revisit. it is expected that higher capacity of agroutourism management among farmers will increase tourist’s satisfaction which affects tourist’s intention to revisit hence, improving the welfare of the community, especially farmers in Jatiluwih Agrotourism.

INTRODUCTION
The agricultural sector has an important and strategic role in the development of the national economy. The agricultural sector has proven to be the most survive in the economic crisis and it
opens awareness that the agricultural sector must continue to be strived as a basis for overcoming threats or crises and achieving national economic growth with full support from the government. The rapid development of
tourism in Bali has impacted the development of other sectors, especially agriculture. The role of the agricultural sector is declining while the role of the tourism sector is increasing. To minimize leakage and negative impacts of tourism development, the development of tourism attractions is recommended to optimize the potential of Bali-based natural and cultural tourism attractions and be directed at natural tourism attractions such as agrotourism, ecotourism, marine tourism, and rural tourism (Wiranatha and Suryawardani, 2018).
Jatiluwih Agrotourism is one of the favorite destinations. This is what makes Jatiluwih included in the World Cultural Heritage Site (WBD) by UNESCO. In addition, Jatiluwih Agrotourism has a management body that officially manages matters related to it. Tourist visits are increasing but farmers are still considered as objects in agrotourism activities. In facts, the benefits of visits have not been fully enjoyed by farmers. Therefore, farmers' capacity needs to be developed to build potential benefits in increasing information and knowledge transfer (Badamas, 2009 in Veronice et al, 2008).
The capacity of farmers in managing agrotourism must always be improved and developed in order to http://ojs.unud.ac.id/index.php/eot 3
achieve the expected goals. This capacity is reflected in the knowledge, attitudes and skills of farmers. In agrotourism management, farmers should be made the main subject or executor involved directly. With the high capacity of farmers in managing together with stakeholders, it is expected to be able to increase Tourists’ satisfaction and have implications for increasing revisit intention to improve the welfare of the community, especially farmers in Jatiluwih Agrotourism.
Based on the description above, research on "Farmers' Capacity in the Management of Jatiluwih Agrotourism and Its Effect on Tourists’ satisfaction and Revisit Intention" is very important to be carried out. With the high capacity of farmers in managing agrotourism, it is expected to increase Tourists’ satisfaction and have implications for increasing revisit intention to improve the welfare of the community, especially farmers in Jatiluwih Agrotourism.

LITERATURE REVIEW
Farmers' Capacity
Marliati (2008) defines the capacity of farmers as the power of farmers to run an ideal farm in accordance with the expected goals (better farming, better living, better business, and better environment). Suprayitno (2011) added that the level of capacity is related to knowledge, attitudes, and abilities in overcoming various problems faced by farmers in terms of technical, managerial, and social skills.
Tourists' Satisfaction
Kotler (2002) defines that Tourists’ satisfaction is a feeling of pleasure or disappointment that arises from the results of comparing expectations with the reality experienced. In other words, that Tourists’ satisfaction is a comparison between the e-ISSN: 2407-392X. p-ISSN: 2541-0857
performance of the products produced and the performance perceived by tourists. If it is below expectations, tourists are not satisfied. If performance meets expectations, tourists are satisfied. If the performance exceeds expectations, tourists are very satisfied.
Revisit Intention
According to Ferdinand (2011), intention to revisit is a behavior that arises as a response to objects that indicate the customer's desire to make a repeat purchase. Interest in repeat visits can also be interpreted as part of the visitor loyalty stage. Revisit intention is the desire and actions of customers to make a repeat visit because of the satisfaction received (Puspitasari, 2011).
RESEARCH METHODS
The research was conducted from May to October 2019 at Jatiluwih Agrotourism. This location determination was done purposively based on various certain considerations. The study was conducted with respondents of farmers and tourists in Jatiluwih Agrotourism using questionnaire and interview methods. Sampling using simple random sampling method and combined with accidental sampling method. The total sample was 100 respondents consisting of 50 farmers
and 50 tourists. Analysis of data using the analysis of the Structural Equation Model (SEM) with the help of SmartPLS 3.0 software. The indicators used were 46 divided into five factors.
Contribution of Stakeholders to the Jatiluwih Agrotourism Community
Contributions made by stakeholders in economic matters such as support surrounding the production of seeds, purchase of liquid and solid fertilizers, as well as land management were as much as 247 million rupiahs by the Government of Tabanan Regency. In addition, assistance such as solid fertilizers and irrigation improvements with irrigation improvement funds around 180 million rupiahs by the Provincial Government of Bali, and a special financial assistance fund (BKK) of 50 million rupiah. Of the revenue funds, operational management divides funds for agency operations 10%, facility and infrastructure development 20%, operational management 35%, and villages and regional governments 35%. Operational funds consist of 12.25% for operational needs such as office stationery. In addition, 5.25% for Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) and 17.5% for wages to HR in Operational Management. The village and regional government funds
consist of 15.75% for the regional government and 19.25% for the village and organization of the irrigation system of Subak. The village and subak funds consisted of 5.775% for the Jatiluwih Traditional Village, 4.8125% for the administrative village, 4.0425% for the Jatiluwih Subak, 3.85% for the Gunungsari Customary Village, 0.385% for the Subak Abian Jatiluwih, and by 0,385% for Subak Abian Gunungsari. The contribution of the Operational Management of Jatiluwih Tourism Destination Region to Subak can be said to be unfavorable because farmers are only used as objects or supporters of tourism. This is evident from the number of payments given to subaks of only 4.8125% of 100% of total revenue funds.
The operational management of the Jatiluwih tourism area should make farmers as an important subject because the main object of agrotourism is terraced rice fields where farmers have a large role in the management of agrotourism. Based on this, the distribution of subsidized funds for subaks should be greater which will have an impact on the welfare of farmers' families. This is because farmers know more about the technical aspects of the field and environmental conditions in the village of Jatiluwih including the types of plants suitable for planting during certain seasons.
Contributions in terms of social life are reflected in the empowered community so that they are involved in the development of Jatiluwih Agrotourism. This is consistent with the results of research in the attitude factor of farmers (X2) on the indicator of farmers empowered in the development of agrotourism (SP6) that the average farmer answered strongly agreed. The environmental benefits are also reflected in the existence of a 3R (reduce, reuse, recycle) Garbage Disposal Site (TPS) in Banjar Kesambahan Kelod and a rule that wastewater must not enter the irrigation channel so as not to pollute the rice fields. Promotion of the subak system in Bali was also carried out for example at the Majapahit International Travel Fair in Surabaya. The Jatiluwih tourism management agency also held the Jatiluwih Festival for the third time in September 2019. The series of events included a dance performance from the PKK women’s organization of 400 people in front of the Pura Dewi Sri Subak Temple, a local culinary exhibition, camping and cultural camp (there is a traditional game involving 17 elementary and vocational schools).

i) Validity Indicator
The validity of convergence reflects the strength of the interlation between variables and their indicators. In Figure 1 (before being dropped) there are eleven indicators that have a loading factor value <0.7, that is, variable X1: PP3; PP8; PP9; PP10; PP11; X2: SP9; SP10; SP13; SP14, X3: KP6, and KP7. According to Chin (1998), the loading factor value below 0.7 must be dropped so that the PLS analysis is repeated. After re-analysis, the loading factor value of the whole indicator meets the convergence validity criteria. Figure of the model before dropping the indicator can be seen in Figure 1 while the model figure after dropping the indicators in Figure 1, can be seen in Figure 2.

1. GoF Test
The feasibility of a structural equation model, in its entirety, was carried out by calculating the value of Goodness of Fit (GoF) using the following formula (Tenenhaus et.al, 2005 in Suryawardani, 2018):
GoF = √Communality x R2 = √AVE x R2
Using this formula, the GoF of the model is calculated at 0.813. This shows that the model can be accepted and interpreted.

Based on Table 8, it can be seen that the R2 value of tourist satisfaction variable is 0.828. This means that 82.8% of tourist satisfaction variables can be explained by farmers' knowledge, farmers' attitudes, farmers' skills and the remaining 17.2% is explained by other variables outside the research model. R2 value of tourist revisit intention variable is 0.773, meaning that the revisit intention variable of 77.3% can be explained by tourist satisfaction and the remaining 22.7% is explained by variables outside the research model. The value of R2 on the variable of tourist satisfaction and tourist revisit intention has a strong predictive power because the value of R2 is above 0.75 (Henseller et.al., 2009 in Santoso, 2018).
DISCUSSION
The Effects of Farmers' Capacity on Tourists’ Satisfaction in Jatiluwih Agrotourism
The effects of farmers' capacity on tourists' satisfaction in Jatiluwih Agrotourism are discussed in three sections as follows:
-
1. Effects of Farmers' Knowledge on Tourists' Satisfaction
The results of testing the first hypothesis showed that the relationship between farmers' knowledge factor (X1) and tourist satisfaction (Y1) showed the Original Sample (O) value of 0.238 and P-value of 0.026 <0.05, then H0 was rejected. Based on the results of data processing, it can be concluded that the knowledge of farmers (X1) significantly influences tourist satisfaction (Y1), meaning that the knowledge of farmers with their indicators significantly influences tourists' satisfaction factors.
The most significant indicator contributing to this factor is the knowledge of farmers in maintaining environmental comfort as part of the implementation of the Sapta / seven-charm program in the tourism sector with a loading factor of 0.971 and a P-value of 0.026. In addition, the indicators that have the lowest significant value are farmers' knowledge in supporting facilities and infrastructure with a loading factor value of 0.930 and a P-value of 0.026.
