PEMAKNAAN FILSAFATI KEARIFAN LOKAL UNTUK ADAPTASI MASYARAKAT TERHADAP ANCAMAN BENCANA MARIN DAN FLUVIAL DI LINGKUNGAN KEPESISIRAN
Abstract
The purpose of this research was to study the philosophical meaning of local wisdom that developed in
the communities in the coastal environment, particularly in the eastern coast of Central Java. The method
used for this philosophical meaning using the approach of geomorphological hermeneutics and disaster
semiotics. The results of this research indicate that identified local wisdom in the form of cultural semiotics
and faunal semiotics to anticipate the hazards of climate change as marine hazard and fluvial hazard.
Cultural semiotics found in the form of advise that still need to be interpreted with a geomorphological
hermeneutics approach order to use it to adapt to the coastal environment against marine hazard. The
cultural semiotics has a geomorphological philosophical meaning as natural cycle that leads to dynamic
equilibrium, not the philosophical meaning that leads to the view of anthropocentrism. In addition, also
found cultural semiotics of “Dina Rèntèng” based on the philosophical views of ecocentrism. The cultural
semiotics is used in society to adapt to the fluvial hazard. Faunal semiotics found in the form of
anomalous crab behavior as a form of adaptation due to its response to environmental condition. The
faunal semiotics has been used as a guide for the community to adapt to the fluvial hazard. Because of the
local wisdom is loaded with philosophical meaning, it can be metatourism assets, so it can convert harm
into benefit.
