Abstract

Industrial development remains a major driver of economic growth while simultaneously contributing to severe environmental degradation. This study aims to examine how industrial communities perceive and respond to the six key dimensions of the New Environmental Paradigm (NEP): anti-anthropocentrism, the fragility of nature’s balance, the possibility of an ecological crisis, rejection of human exemptionalism, limits to growth, and belief in human capability through science and technology. Using a descriptive qualitative approach, data were collected through semi-structured questionnaires and interviews with 21 respondents residing near the industrial zone of Kampung Kadingding, Tambak Village, Kibin District, Serang Regency, Indonesia. The results reveal a relatively high level of ecological awareness among respondents, particularly concerning the fragility of natural balance (mean score = 69) and the risk of an ecological crisis (mean score = 64). However, lower agreement was observed in the dimensions of anti-anthropocentrism (mean score = 60) and limits to growth (mean score = 68), suggesting persistent anthropocentric and growth-oriented perspectives. These findings indicate a cognitive dissonance between environmental consciousness and economic dependency within industrial communities. The study underscores the need for integrating environmental education, policy enforcement, and corporate social responsibility programs to bridge the gap between ecological values and industrial behavior.

Abstract

Indonesia is a mega-biodiversity country with a wealth of medicinal plants and strong ethnobotanical knowledge among indigenous communities. However, modernization and the declining interest of the younger generation have caused traditional knowledge and the availability of medicinal plants to be increasingly threatened, including in Kedayon Village, Kemanisan Subdistrict, Curug District, Serang City. This study aims to: identify the types of medicinal plants used by the Kedayon Village community, describe how they are utilized in traditional medicine, and analyze forms of conservation efforts that can be implemented by the community in a sustainable manner. The method used is descriptive qualitative through field observation, documentation, and interviews. The results of the study identified 16 types of medicinal plants utilized from various plant parts such as leaves, roots, rhizomes, and seeds, with simple processing techniques such as boiling, squeezing, or steeping. These findings indicate that the community still relies on natural resources for traditional health needs. Recommended conservation efforts include community-based in-situ cultivation through home gardens and yards, accompanied by education and routine maintenance. These efforts are important to maintain the scarcity of medicinal plants while preserving local knowledge for future generations.
