Maritime Ecolexicon in Bajo Community of Kolaka Regency Coast and its Implications for Ecology

Abstract

Abstract This study described deeply about the survival of Bajo language on the coast of Kolaka Regency and its implications for maritime ecology. Data collection was done through: (a) lexicon competency test, (b) observation, (c) interview, and (d) documentation. The results showed that 53.75% of the maritime ecolexicon was no longer survived. It means that the maritime ecolexicon of Bajo language was on the verge of the most extinct loss of maritime flora and fauna. The causes of this inadequacy were: ecological changes, lack use of Bajo language, low environmental awareness of the community, loss of several marine traditions, and transfer of community work from fishermen to other jobs. The recommendation of this study is: Bajo language should be one of the local content materials in schools, government and the community need to run a maritime environment that has an impact on the survival of Bajo language and environmental sustainability.
