Abstract

This study on integration of local wisdom in coastal management is urgent because there's no connection between social, economic, and environmental aspects in implementing local wisdom in Cimerak and Cijulang subdistricts, Pangandaran Regency because besides the community itself, the government also plays a big role in promoting local practices that have been proven effective for a long time. The lack of such integration has led to disparities in coastal area management characterized by conflicts over resource use, declining environmental quality, and loss of the local community's role. The forms of local wisdom still practiced by communities of Cimerak and Cijulang need to be identified and analyzed as part of efforts to integrate or link them with the management of coastal resource potential and its impacts on the local community's socio-economic conditions. The objectives of this study are to identify forms of local wisdom in coastal area management, analyze how such wisdom is integrated into the management of resource potential in fisheries, tourism, and agriculture sectors, and evaluate its impacts on the social, economic, and environmental conditions of coastal communities. The method used is descriptive qualitative with five villages as research locations and has covered the agriculture, fisheries, and tourism sectors. Data analysis techniques involved reducing interview data to obtain relevant and focused information. The research findings indicate that local wisdom is still practiced by the local community in the fisheries sector (traditional nets), agriculture (organic materials), and tourism (sea rituals, local culture) resulting in positive and safe environmental impacts. Meanwhile, the social and economic impacts on communities of Cimerak and Cijulang have improved compared to previous conditions.
