Abstract

Instability and inequality in the socio-ecological system in Labuan Bajo, Indonesia, are due to the lack of awareness of coastal communities and tourists towards the environment/ecology. The orientation of this study aims to determine how the coastal community of Labuan Bajo understands human interaction with the environment/ecology (socio-ecological system). This study used a qualitative method with 32 informants (native people, volunteers, and officers). We asked them how coastal communities interpret their environment, their interactions with the environment/ecology, their experiences maintaining socio-ecological systems, and survival strategies in tourist areas. The study results showed that the traditional knowledge of coastal communities contains local wisdom values ​​that are useful in socio-ecological systems. For example, they have in-depth knowledge of the natural cycle, fishing seasons, and the behavior of certain marine species. They also understand the condition of the local ecosystem. Knowledge of local ecosystems such as coral reefs, mangrove forests, endemic species, and how to maintain ecological balance. They also have literacy about the impact of tourism activities. Understanding the potential impacts of tourism activities on the environment and how to minimize them, such as good waste management.
