Historical non-human elements are reflected in the phenomenon of destruction of Kulon Progo land elements and phenomena of environmental destruction such as the burning of houses and patrol posts in coastal villages. The legitimacy of the interests of non-human elements towards humans is reflected in the fact that plants provide success with the abundant harvests of the Kulon Progo community and sand provides a connection between the community and the environment. Human responsibility for nature is reflected in the Kulon Progo community making various efforts such as physical responsibility, intellectual responsibility, and spiritual responsibility.
