Pemali as defense ecovillage values in kampung kasepuhan babakan lama

Abstract

The exploitation of the environment occurs because there is an economic value that is generated for the benefit of humans. A damaged environment can cause a lot of harm to humans in the future. The research objective was to analyze and synthesize the concept of pemali in Kampung Kasepuhan Babakan Lama with the ecovillage values that were maintained in the village. Then analyze the environmental conservation model scheme applied in Kampung Kasepuhan Babakan Lama. A descriptive qualitative approach is used in research using interview instruments. The interview resulted in the findings that environmental conservation efforts carried out in Kampung Kasepuhan Babakan Lama are in accordance with ecovillage values. Environmental preservation is closely monitored by every community who lives in the village and implanted the concept of using the environment wisely through the concept of pemali. Pemali is applied in the socio-cultural, environmental, economic, architectural, and spiritual aspects. This is identical to ecovillage values. Thus, society and nature can coexist in harmony. This is what is starting to disappear in the current paradigm of environmental use, namely that only humans benefit without paying attention to environmental sustainability.
