ABSTRACT
The inheritance of the values of local wisdom is an effort to foster a sense of concern for the environment from the negative impacts caused by the current globalization that cannot be avoided. This effort is needed because the impact of globalization can be a serious threat to the younger generation if they do not have an awareness of the importance of traditional values that exist in society. The research objective was to analyze the form of inheritance of Telaga Mangunan's local wisdom in environmental preservation. Qualitative research methods, with a case study approach, were used in this research. The research was conducted in Tlogohendro Village, Petungkriyono District, Pekalongan Regency. The research informants were youth groups, guardians, village heads, and local community leaders. The data were collected through interviews, observation, and documentation study. The data were analyzed using descriptive qualitative method. The results showed that the local wisdom of Telaga Mangunan's community is being maintained and developed as an effort to conserve the environment. The people of Tlogohendro Village have implemented the inheritance of local wisdom values as an effort of environmental care through Nyadran tradition, with an enculturation process and socialization media, which are expected to provide understanding to the younger generation regarding the importance of preserving local wisdom as a part of environmental preservation.
