This study uses a qualitative descriptive method that describes and explains the area. Using observational data collection techniques, in-depth interviews, documentation, and literature studies in the Cikiwul Village. The data analysis was carried out using qualitative data analysis. The results of this study indicate that the entry of industrialization in the city of Bekasi in 2000 did not necessarily make the community progress and get used to the changes that occurred in their lives. It took years to adapt to modern life so that after people get used to changing, they can utilize and develop natural potential, namely Curug Parigi. The development of Curug Parigi invites many perceptions in society. Many people are happy with the result of the beautiful Parigi waterfall. There are also many people's opinions who are disappointed because the development of the Parigi waterfall is not perfect because the facilities needed in a tourist attraction have yet to be fulfilled.
