Journal Title: GeoJournal of Tourism and Geosites - Year 2018, Vol 21, Issue 1
Abstract
One of the existing natural and environmental uses in Aceh (Indonesia) is tourism. Among the aspects that determine the development and sustainability of tourism are the institutional and community aspects. Sustainable tourism is a picture of both the ecosystem sustainability and socio-economic development of the community. This study aims to reveal and find out the local wisdom practices and explore local knowledge owned by Sabang Island community in managing and conserving of the environment to support the realization of sustainable tourism. This study uses rationalistic paradigm and qualitative research method. The data that has been collected is analyzed descriptively. The local wisdom and local knowledge are reflected in how society has a unique way of looking at and understanding of the nature and interacting with it. In the Aceh community, there are customary institutions that regulate the rules or interactions of the community with the environment, including “panglima laot”, “keujreun blang”, “peutua seuneubok”, “pawang glee or peutua uteun”, “haria peukan” and “syahbanda”. Local wisdom and local knowledge have great potential in maintaining, preserving and sustainability of the environment used by communities to meet their living needs. Ecological, social, and religious intelligence formed through local wisdom and local knowledge are the functional aspects in maintaining environmental sustainability in order to build sustainable tourism on Sabang Island.
