Abstract

Currently, citizen consciousness in environmental conservation becomes important. As population growth increases, environmental damage becomes increasingly out of control. The lack of citizen consciousness of this environment occurs not only in a particular group of people, but also in all circles. Both occur at the household level, small forest encroachment communities, and at the level of large scale organizations such as companies. This condition illustrates the need for people to protect the environment and be conscious of the existence of the environment. An independent and cultured village is one of the efforts in providing education and environmental consciousness to people who have nawacita conception. The approach used in this study is qualitative approach. It provides information that can be obtained in a focused and in-depth manner.
