Abstract

In Ciletuh, Sukabumi, Indonesia, there is a natural heritage in terms of geology, biodiversity, and culture. Having been introduced as a National Geo-park since 2015, this place has been visited by a lot of tourists and scientists. This leads to the necessity of its local people to play their role in preserving nature. Thus, early education on local wisdom to the local people is important. This study uses survey promoting interview technique to find out the condition of the local people in a remote area namely Taman Jaya, Ciemas, Sukabumi, Indonesia to develop local wisdom education. The results show that local wisdom education within the area of Ciletuh Geo-park emphasizes more on the local people participation, particularly youth participation, as a well-educated tour guide so that local wisdom and geo-diversity keep being preserved. For a long-term target, there needs to be formal local wisdom education starting from primary school to higher education so that Ciletuh Geoprak can be a learning facility for both intra-curricular and extra-curricular activities. © Published under licence by IOP Publishing Ltd.
