Recently, KPSB is not used optimally and and not put in good use due to lack of facilities. Therefore, landscape design of KPSB is needed as a reference for future development of KPSB. The purpose of this study is designing an experimental field with techno-ecologycal farming concept. This research used survey and descriptive method with the design phase approach followed Bell (2008). The main design concept is techno-ecological agro tourism. This design was not only concern about research and education activities, but also how to support agro tourism.
