Gugon Tuhon as Java’s local wisdom for supporting sustainable development goals

Abstract

Sustainability is a global issue in all countries. Various efforts are made to prevent and overcome damage to the earth’s surface, including through community rules and customs to support sustainability. Qualitative descriptive research was conducted to identify good experiences in community life in the form of Javanese community advice, namely Gugon Tuhon related to SDGs. The research began by taking Gugon Tuhon available on the internet by Agus Suksessetiono; then, a content analysis was carried out to describe the relationship between Gugon Tuhon and sustainable development goals (SDGs). The results of the analysis show that Gugon Tuhon supports sustainable development in the fields of clean water (SDGs 6), good health and welfare (SDGs 3), and zero hunger (SDGs 2). Local wisdom (Gugon Tuhon) must be disseminated through formal education (primary education) and non-formal (family environment) as a scientific context in learning to support sustainability.
