Year: 2025
Type: article
Abstract: This research aims to explore climate change adaptation strategies based on local wisdom to drive the transformation of home industries towards a sustainable circular economy in Magetan Regency. In the context of the global climate crisis, home industries actors in this area face challenges in maintaining productivity and business sustainability. However, the local wisdom passed down through generations—such as energy-saving practices, the utilization of organic waste, and community-based production systems—becomes a potential social and cultural capital to shape a circular economy model. This research uses a qualitative approach with case study methods, in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation studies involving home industries actors, community leaders, and relevant institutions. The research results show that the integration of local wisdom with the principles of a circular economy, such as waste reduction, raw material recycling, and the innovation of environmentally friendly products, can enhance the socio-economic resilience of the community and reduce environmental impact. This research recommends strengthening local capacity through appropriate technology training, the development of networks among business actors, and local government policy support favoring a locally-based green economy model. Thus, the transformation of the home industries in Magetan can serve as a good practice example in building a circular economy that is adaptive to climate change and rooted in local culture.
