The construction of a new road connecting Sleman Regency and Gunungkidul Regency, which passes through Nglanggeran Village, has brought changes to the lives of the surrounding community. The development has not only provided greater ease of mobility but has also resulted in changes in the social, economic, tourism, and environmental aspects of the community. Therefore, development needs to be viewed from the experiences of the people who directly experience these changes. This study aims to identify and understand the impacts of the new road construction on the community in Nglanggeran Village. The theory used in this study is Alex Inkeles’ modernization theory, which examines social change through the characteristics of modern individuals. This study employs a qualitative method with a phenomenological approach. The research informants consisted of 10 people, including community members, traders, and managers of Nglanggeran Tourism Village. Data were collected through observation, interviews, and documentation, and were analyzed through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The findings reveal that the road construction has had diverse impacts on the community. Socially, it has improved accessibility and mobility but has also caused noise, raised concerns about criminal activity, and reduced social interaction in some areas. Economically, it has created new business opportunities, although the benefits have not been evenly distributed. In terms of tourism, the road has facilitated tourism integration between Sleman Regency and Gunungkidul Regency, improved access for visitors, and supported the promotion of Nglanggeran Tourism Village. Environmentally, the construction has affected agricultural land, damaged irrigation channels, and damaged Kedung Kandang Waterfall. Overall, the road construction has brought changes to the lives of the community, with benefits and impacts that need to be managed sustainably.301 Sosiologi2026-10-05UIN SUNAN KALIJAGA YOGYAKARTA;FAKULTAS ILMU SOSIAL DAN HUMANIORAThesis
