Abstract

Sociology is the queen of social sciences. This statement was said by the pioneer of sociology, Auguste Comte to our generation of sociologists for the superiority of this social science. The term queen refers to the height of the sociological level which is the reference for the birth and development before other social sciences.This research aims to apply the Comte’s statement above. Therefore, the research method used in this paper is literature studies and a qualitative approach with PAR (Participatory Action Research) approach. In PAR, the subjects of research are community /local activist of Cagar Hamlet, Bulukerto Village, Temas Hamlet, and Activist of Cultural Tourism in Tlogorejo Hamlets, Bumiaji Village. The activities of this research are 1) Community empowerment by Public Speaking Training, 2) Development of Ecology Village in Temas Batu City, 3) and Strengthening awareness of Cultural Tourism in Tlogorejo Hamlet, BumiajiVillage.Applied sociology is one of ways to “empower” sociology and communities. This kind of sociology is developed through field or participatory action research. In the follow-up stage, beside the proffesionalization of PAR owned by sociologist, the problems of communities arise so that the synergy of program with stakeholders is needed. Stakeholders must continue the initiated program. Thus, it can be said that the development of applied sociology is not easy because it must refer to practical languages and according to the needs of actors. Competition with stakeholders and practitioners makes this challenge difficult to overcome.
