Abstract

ABSTRACT: Sustainable architecture is not just a matter of technology-related material, the energy use efficiency, land use efficiency, material use efficiency, the use of technology and new materials, and waste management, but also about cultural attitudes and education. In traditional societies, for example, sustainability is happening not only by art e fact form , but rather on a belief in the values underlying the respect and understanding to keep the harmony of nature. Therefore, this study wants to focus on two things. First ly , describ ing how the behavior patterns of traditional village culture in interacting with the natural environment and the built environment (architecture) in harmony and sustainable. Second ly , examin ing how patterns of behavior are maintained and passed through a learning process to the next generation. The ethno - architecture and et h no-pedagogy research will use qualitative research methods, which not only focuses on the process (behavior) but also on art e facts as cultural architecture products. The research focus on ethno-architecture shows that the landscape setting of Ciptagelar cultural village in Sukabumi, West Java, Indonesia is generally fit to the sustainable architecture parameters. Meanwhile, ethno-pedagogy sides shows that the tales, advices, poems and children’s songs, myths, symbolisms, and belief are some learning pattern of tradition inheritance which content has an effort to live in a harmony with the nature, environment knowledge, environment awareness, and the implementation of environment conservation.
