Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of customary norms as customary institutions in environmental conservation and identify challenges in household waste management in Bayan District, North Lombok Regency. The study used a qualitative case study design to examine the values, norms, social practices, and institutions of the indigenous community. Data were obtained through observation, interviews with customary leaders, community leaders, and village government officials, and a review of documents related to forest and waste management. The results indicate that “awiq-awiq” has a strong role as a mechanism for controlling community behavior in the use of customary forests. However, the effectiveness of “awiq-awiq” has not yet extended to household waste management. This study concludes that strengthening ecological citizenship in Bayan society is not enough to rely solely on forest conservation through awiq-awiq. However, it requires a reinterpretation and revitalization of customary norms to address contemporary environmental issues, particularly waste related to tourism development. Integrating customary institutions, village governments, communities, and tourism actors is a crucial strategy for building more participatory and sustainable environmental governance.
