Summary: | This research aimed to determine the environmental conservation value of the Tengger tribe's traditional ceremony in
supporting the Mount Bromo tourism area. This research applied a qualitative ethnographic approach in Sukapura District,
Indonesia. The data was collected through in-depth interviews, non-participatory observations, and documentation, then analyzed
using six steps of a qualitative approach. The pujan kasanga, pujan kasada, and unan-unan ceremonies show the value of belief in
the sacredness of Tengger’s land, harmonious relationship with the environment, worship of the occupied land, respect for the
environment, and gratitude for the blessing of fertile land. The values are expressed in daily life for self-regulating the
environment of the Mount Bromo tourism area. The series of traditional ceremonies provided an additional attraction in the form of the beauty of agroforestry land management, the cultural attraction that many are concerned with reducing plastic waste, and
the cultural attractions that show the man and environment harmony.
