Practicing Environmental Communication: Lessons Learned from a Unique Community in Indonesia

The environment is essential to human life. People need to protect the environment, as it plays a vital role in our daily lives. One of the ways to protect the environment is through environmental communication. Using Robert Cox’s (2010) perspective, this study aims to examine the role of a community of haunted place explorers in practicing environmental communication. This research uses a qualitative research method. The data were collected using interviews, observation, and documentation. The study results show that the Semarangker Community has performed two functions of environmental communication, i.e., (1) pragmatic and (2) constitutive. They do it as a proof of their concern about the environment and contribution to protecting nature
