Abstract

This research explores the integration of Javanese cultural and religious values in environmental preservation, focusing on how rituals and traditions in Tajakembang, Cilacap, embody harmony between humans and nature. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study investigates local practices that reflect deep-rooted cultural wisdom and religious teachings promoting environmental care. Findings reveal that Javanese rituals serve as a medium for transmitting environmental ethics, fostering community cohesion, and sustaining natural resources. Javanese cultural and religious values influence environmental preservation by embedding ecological ethics within ritual practices that promote harmony between humans and nature, fostering sustainable behaviors rooted in spiritual and social norms. The study highlights the significance of preserving these traditions amid modernization, offering insights for cultural-based environmental strategies.
