Ecological guidelines should require specific information for their use, should include precise instructions that can be followed and corporation with socio-economic restrictions on the conservation of biodiversity. Through the local culture and traditional adat values, ecological guidelines can bring environmental preservation and natural resource sustainability.
The purpose of this study explores the relationship between environmental preservation and gender equality. Efforts to overcome the impacts of climate change in cities through environmental preservation must be carried out by all communities’ participation. Gender equality very important to strengthen providing access to women to preservation activity in the urban environmental management. This study was conducted qualitatively with a literature review using a qualitative systematic review. The findings show that there are still obstacles to achieving gender equality in preserving the environment physically and non-physically. The gender aspect need to be elaborate the preservation activity with emphasis in human aspect to prevent environmental damages. Because women’s way and their consistency contribution in environmental preservation shows that a gender equality approach is very important in environmental conservation activities to achieve urban area sustainable. To conclude, there is important relationship regarding environmental preservation with aspects of gender equality, regarding access and forms of involvement in activities.

Indonesia is a country that has cultural diversity and Adat law, one of which is the culture of the Baduy tribe. However, social and economic changes that impact the environment led researchers to identify how the Baduy tribe maintains an environment based on cultural and adat laws. This paper used observation and interview methods to identify the environmental preservation that the Baduy tribe has been doing. Baduy Luar has used modern goods, but Baduy Dalam still does not use it. Both do not cut down trees in protected forest areas and still rely on the river to meet their daily water needs, from farming, drinking, or only bathing and cleaning the furniture. They believe and trust “ancestral rules”. That beliefs make them trust to Pu’un as someone with authority, which always preserves that ancestral rules. Pu’un can decide on preserved their ancestral rule. These are fundamental aspects as the laws here represent how the culture tries to reserve the environment. That is much needed as the laws will not do it anymore to prevent environmental damage by society. However, this paper results can be used to build the culture and law for preserved the environment in national society with further study.
Ease of access for people to be involved in urban environmental preservation is an important factor in overcoming the current problem of global warming and environmental degradation. The gender responsive with social protections program became of efforts to support women to be involved in environmental preservation and climate change adaptation. Efforts to strengthen the community, including vulnerable groups, must be made to maintain urban resilience. The aim of this study to describe the importance of strengthening the involvement of women in environmental preservation activities through social protection programs. This study was conducted with a qualitative approach using literature reviews, with combined type of the descriptive and integrative literature reviews. The results of the study indicate that the social protection program is complementary in environmental preservation activities. In addition, social protection programs are aimed at strengthening women as a vulnerable group so that they can adapt to global warming and improve community welfare through environmental preservation activities. Efforts to strengthen women in preservation activities are related to ecosystem-based management approaches, which also emphasize aspects of stakeholder support in environmental protection activities. This study has a contribution as an alternative capacity building in environmental protection policies with gender responsive approach.
