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

Ethnobotany of timber is a field of study that examines the relationship between humans and the use of plants as building materials. However, changes in lifestyles, particularly among the younger generation, have led to a decline in knowledge about the use of local plants as building materials. This situation raises concerns about the loss of ethnobotanical knowledge of woodworking, which has been passed down through generations. This study aims to examine the utilization of coconut (Cocos nucifera) and bayur (Pterospermum javanicum) trees as building and furniture materials by the community of Jabang Bayi Kebon Village, Serang, Banten. A qualitative descriptive method with an ethnobotanical approach was applied through field observations, semi-structured interviews, and documentation. The results show that coconut trees are mainly used for house structures such as walls, roofs, and fences, while bayur wood is utilized for furniture production by local craftsmen. The utilization of these plant species is based on local knowledge, material availability, and traditional practices passed down through generations. This study highlights the important role of local knowledge in supporting the sustainable use of plant resources.
