Erosi Kultural dalam Polemik Tanah Adat Masyarakat Tengger di Taman Nasional Bromo Tengger Semeru

Abstract

Tourism in Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park has long been regarded as an important driver of the local economy for surrounding communities. On the other hand, the expansion of tourism has triggered changes in land use that have led to the shrinking of customary spaces, including sacred lands that serve as the center of religious activities and cultural identity for the Tenggerese people. This study aims to critically analyze the relationship between the economic benefits of tourism and the utilization of ecological resources in the conservation area. The research employs a descriptive approach with a normative legal method through library research and a review of previous studies. The findings are expected to provide insights into the position of the Tengger indigenous community in development planning within Bromo Tengger Semeru National Park and to offer considerations for balancing economic interests with ecological protection and biodiversity conservation in the Tengger area.
