Abstract
Purpose –This is a methodological proposalthat describes the access to information as a starting point,
and the importance of access to information as the backbonefor the values of investment with the notion of
culture as shared beliefs, supported by information to communicate and provide awareness about issues
related to environmentalpolicy that is consistent with sustainable development. Data collectionis done from
census data of Cikarawang population,observation and in-depth interviews with informants of community
leaders. Constructivetheory constructs to identify the diversity of existing construction of and placingin the
consensus.The goal of this methodology is to produce an informed andknowledgeable construction of, which
simultaneously improving continuously. Constructivists do not intend to predictand control the real world
and divert it but to reconstruct the world at the point of its existence: in the mind of the people of the
community in Cikarawang village. The view of the importance of cultural institutions and traditional
knowledge should not be ignored in reachingthe target of practical dissemination of information regarding
environmentalpolicy should be conducted for further study the model of and the model for the construction of
the constructed. The use of applicationin documenting myths and rituals of Cikarawang people is enabling
the access of informationof the people in learning the culture and languageof Cikarawang. Moreover, it is the
way to reach the goal of sustainableenvironment for the next generations.
Design/methodology/approach –The goal of this methodology is to produce an informed and
knowledgeable constructionof, which simultaneously improved continuously. Constructivists do not intend
to predict and control the real world and divertit but to reconstruct the world at the point of its existence:in
the mind of the constructor. In the process related to two aspects, : hermeneuticand dialectical. Aspects of
individual construction of hermeneutic describe as compare and contrast to the dialectical aspects of
individual constructionof, so that each respondent was entered into the construction of another andentirely
fused.
Findings –The access of information on asrito face global warming is to demonstrate the hybridity and
syncretismof thiseveryday locality and to show how this global sense of place is a progressivesense of place
which avoids defensiveand exclusionary definitions of place and culture becausethey cannot be sustained in
a world where understanding a place means understanding its connection to other places. However, the
youths of Cikarawang are likelyto self-identify, as liberals are also more supportive of progressivedomestic
social agendathan older generations. They are less overtlyreligious than the older generations.
Research limitations/implications –The access of information, is about trying to establish the
existence of the collectivity by defining what makes it a community –isolating national characteristics,
defining crucial historical moments or significant places. None of these implies that these meanings can be
fixed. There might be useful to think of nationsas projects which are never fullyachieved. There are always
alternative accounts which are being given, and alternative interpretations being made from different
positions. Climateinformation needs to be made in accordance with the local context and activitiesof both of
the content,format, timing and distribution (dissemination).
