Living Culturally: The Pillar of Sustainable Development of the Multi Ethnic Country of Indonesia
Indonesia as a multi-ethnic country faces challenge to embrace many standards for development as every ethnic community adopts their own cultural values. There were cases by which government, on behalf of equalizing standard, create national policy and regulation to develop communities by the way of national standard. It was at that time that cultural values were considered by the government as a factor inhibiting development and wellness. Recently, critical awareness has emerged at the national level regarding the climate crisis, resulting in the emergence of a new paradigm in development. Modernization that leaves a large carbon footprint is no longer the only approach in development. A cultural way of life that is naturally more environmentally friendly at this point is interpreted as more ideal development because it is oriented towards sustainable prosperity. Various examples of culture-based life that represent a sustainable way of life will be presented.
