Sustainable Development in the Perspective of Sundanese Cultural Wisdom

Authors : Mella Ismelina Farma Rahayu

Abstract: Every country is striving for doing sustainable development in order to increase the people’s welfare. Each development certainly needs natural and human resources. Apparently in doing the development there are still many countries which do it conventionally that is by in general orienting it to the economic growth result. Sometimes, the environmental and social aspects are ignored in spite of the fact that good development is the one capable of balancing the three interests, namely the economic, environmental and social interests. The ignorance of the environmental interest in doing the development will destroy and pollute the environment as well as degrade the natural resources. When the social interest is ignored, only few people will enjoy the result of the development while many other people are still in the poverty and limitation line. This condition requires a development model which can give sustainable results in the economic, environmental and social areas which can simultaneously move toward the people’s welfare in a comprehensive way. This study will discuss the concept of sustainable development seen from the perspective of Sundanese cultural wisdom which offers harmony, conformity and balance in doing the development.
