Desa Ranto Sabon is a marginal area in Aceh Jaya District, Aceh Province. The village owns natural resources which can be developed into tourist attractions to encourage the development of Innovation and Tourism Village. Designing the tourism attractions are carried out using three methods, to cover Penta Helix collaboration, designing a roadmap, and conducting a technical workshop. The Penta Helix collaboration involves stakeholders from the government, universities, industry and business, the community, and the media. The roles of each parties are identified in detail to obtain significant involvement in designing the tourist attractions. Furthermore, this activity prepares a roadmap as a guide for the stakeholders in carrying out activities and achieving the goals. Lastly, this activity conducted a technical workshop to perform tourism mindset transformation and improve the knowledge and skills of the community.

Rumoh Aceh in its development has undergone various adjustment processes to the environment so that it can survive until now. But along with the development of modern era that demands efficiency and the fact of increasingly difficult to find good quality wood materials for the manufacture and maintenance of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh, then gradually fewer people build and maintain Rumoh Aceh. Although constrained in the difficulty of procurement of good quality wood materials and maintenance, the existence of Rumoh Aceh must be maintained. Therefore, this research needs to be done as an effort to understand the constraints of the availability of good quality wood materials for the manufacture and maintenance of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh and find alternative solutions that are environmentally friendly to support the preservation efforts of Rumoh Aceh. This qualitative descriptive research uses variety of primary and secondary data of traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh. The results of this study revealed the use of green structures and technologies as well as environmentally friendly engineering wood materials can be one of the alternative solutions in preserving the traditional architecture of Rumoh Aceh.
