Revitalization of Local Wisdom for Environmental Protection and Sustainable Spatial Planning in The Bopunjur Area

Abstract

The Bogor Puncak Cianjur (Bopunjur) area is a region with high ecological and cultural diversity, presenting significant challenges, particularly in terms of environmental degradation and spatial planning conflicts. This research aims to analyze how the revitalization of local wisdom can be integrated into environmental protection and spatial planning policies in Bopunjur. The study employs qualitative methods with a normative juridical approach, using data collection techniques such as interviews, field observations, and documentation. The findings suggest that the revitalization of local wisdom plays a strategic role in preserving cultural values within the community, particularly in the context of environmental protection and spatial planning. Given Bopunjur's rich tourism potential and natural resources, integrating local wisdom into government policies is crucial for sustainable development. Factors contributing to the erosion of local wisdom in Bopunjur include globalization, changes in people's mindsets, agricultural modernization, lack of socialization about local wisdom, individualism, fading of traditional institutions, limited access to education, and economic shifts. The study concludes that effective integration of local wisdom into policies will support cultural preservation and environmental sustainability in Bopunjur.
