Introduction
From year to year, Indonesia's forests
have decreased in all areas, such as in
2000 natural forest cover of 106.4
million hectares, until in 2017
Indonesia's forests decreased to 82.8
million hectares or 43% of Indonesia's
land area.
Forest management shows
that the rate of deforestation
from community-managed
forests is lower than
protected forests.
14 countries that have forests such as in Latin America,
Africa, and Asia that countries that give legal rights to
forest ownership to indigenous and local communities
are better able to control deforestation than if the forests
belong to the state.
The community's tradition of
managing forests is an indicator of
forest success
Forest management in Aceh cannot
be separated from the role of local
communities with traditions that
are still being preserved to this day.
the authors want to know in
advance how the Acehnese people's
perceptions of the local wisdom of
the Pawang Uteun then explore the
values of the pawang uteun in Aceh
province.

deforestation and keep forests sustainable [7].

systems, and cultural systems, reflected in environmental management, customs
that regulate social relations, and cultural artifacts such as land use, residential
materials and architecture, styles and styles of clothing, furniture, and ceremonies
ushering in the cycle of life [8].

Result and Discussion
Public Perception of Pawang Uteun
Item 3.This shows that the community wants forests in Aceh
province to be managed wisely and with social aspects in mind.
Then this is also in line with the local government that has proposed
several Aceh forest areas to be used as customary forests to the
Ministry of Environment and Forestry in determining Aceh's
customary forests.
Item 4.This shows that the respondents still doubt the role of the
pawang uteun in preserving the forest. Therefore, it is necessary to
make efforts to maximize the role of the pawang uteun. One of them
is the role of the government, such as cooperation between the
pawang uteun and the POLHUT (forest ranger).
-
Pawang Uteun is the
spearhead of preserving
the forest
The community wants this
custom not only to be
contained in the qanun law,
customary forest law, but
also to be disseminated to
the community
the community wants this
uteun pawang custom to be
reintroduced.
in the era of globalization and in
millennial society, they don't know
many traditions in society, so they
need to be reintroduced as in an
educational environment.
Because in addition to raising
concern for the environment, it is
also to preserve the local wisdom
of the uteun handlers and also
some other local wisdom so that it
is not lost to the times.

everyone from entering the
forest on a certain day which
has been determined by the
pawang uteun based on his
knowledge
rituals and rules in protecting the forest which is led by the pawang uteun and have the following
powers:
-
Conclussion
there is a need for socialization to the community
around the forest regarding the rules in the forest that
exist for the pawang uteun and introduce them to
students so that they know about the culture in their
environment where they live in protecting the
environment
Future research the values contained in the pawang
uteun adat can be implemented in learning. It is
hoped that in the field of education it can introduce
learning resources from the environment around
students, one of which is the traditional pawang
uteun in protecting the forest.
The pawang uteun is one of the traditions of the
Acehnese community in the field of forest
conservation. The community's perception of the
importance of forests is very high and this is
why they want this forest to be managed by
indigenous peoples with their wisdom.
The local wisdom of pawang uteun can be used
as reading material on social media in an era of
technological sophistication. And in the field of
education, it can be linked with materials about
the environment, culture, and natural resources.
