<![CDATA[ This study aims to describe the representation of the ecological crisis in the novel Perempuan yang Tunggu di Lorong Menuju Laut by Dian Purnomo and its relevance to writing learning in grade XII of vocational high school. This study uses a qualitative approach with a descriptive analysis method and Greg Garrard's ecocritical perspective which includes six categories, namely pollution, wilderness, apocalypse, dwelling, animals, and earth. The research data are in the form of quotations in the novel related to environmental issues. The results of the study indicate that the ecological crisis in the novel includes pollution, wilderness, disaster, dwelling, animals, and the earth. These findings indicate that the ecological crisis not only impacts environmental damage, but also affects social, cultural, and community identity aspects. The exploitation of natural resources, especially mining, is the main factor that triggers ecological degradation as well as social conflict. In addition, the results of the study show that this novel is relevant as a teaching material in learning to write environmental-themed stories in class XII of vocational high schools because it fulfills linguistic, psychological, and cultural aspects and supports contextual, meaningful learning, and is oriented towards the formation of environmentally conscious characters. Keywords: ecocriticism; ecological crisis; novel; learning; environment.]]>
