Abstract
ABSTRACT The purpose of this study is to analyze the role of Bajau tribal wisdom in dealing with ecological disasters and their implications for regional environmental resilience. Ecological disaster is a problem in Torosiaje region, Gorontalo. The archipelago actually has wisdom that is empirically proven to be able to minimize environmental damage caused by human exploitation. Unfortunately, this wisdom is starting to be abandoned because it is considered unscientific and outdated.This research is literature research with hermeneutic method. This method is used to identify the essential meaning contained in the object of research, namely the local wisdom possessed by the Bajau Tribe related to their views on the relationship between nature and humans, then how the knowledge system based on that worldview is able to provide real implications for environmental resilience in the Torosiaje area in facing the threat of ecological disasters. The results of this study indicate that the local wisdom of the Bajau Tribe manifested in the knowledge system and attitudes of the Bajau Tribe in managing the natural environment in the sea can strengthen environmental resilience in the face of the threat of ecological disasters. The strategy taken to strengthen environmental resilience is to synergize the Bajau knowledge system with science in the form of marine resource conservation and marine tourism activities. The environmental resilience of the Torosiaj region is also supported by community participation and legal political instruments with an environmental paradigm
