The Urgency of Pancasila Values in the Implementation of Humane Public Policy in the Environmental Sector

Abstract

Developments in the industrial world have resulted in a paradigm shift in environmental management, resulting in environmental policies leaving far from ecological identity in every product produced. This article using the juridical empiricism method aims to discuss the urgency of Pancasila values in the implementation of humanist public policies in the environmental sector. Based on the studies conducted, it is known that changes in the world order due to technological and cultural advances have resulted in the degradation of the human paradigm in terms of environmental management. The degradation of this environmental management paradigm has left far the aspects of ecological needs for the environment. In short, this can be said to have released the human dimension in viewing the use of the environment which is obsessed with industrial profits alone. Pancasila through its balance teaching mandates that legal policies related to environmental management return to its soul, namely ecological awareness. The position of Pancasila is important because every value contained in the Five Pancasila Precepts is basically an accumulation of values of equality and values of balance. Operationally the values of Pancasila require recognition and protection for physical and spiritual needs related to the dimensions of social life as well as the human dimension as individuals, especially in terms of environmental policy issues
