One of the ways that human activity impacts the environment, especially in rural areas where it causes drought and hydrological change, is through the problem caused by shifting land use. Therefore, the purpose of this study was to investigate, inventory, and comprehend the various forms of land-use change, their effects in rural regions, and the ways in which the local population responded and adjusted to them in light of their ecological knowledge or capacities. Direct observation and in-depth one-on-one interviews were employed to gather data, and secondary data was used for analysis. According to the study’s findings, the Cikalong-Sodonghilir village has experienced ecological disruptions and harm, including the depletion of water supplies as a result of watershed events, particularly in the arid season. Jamban, or the pond system, is one model development that uses water management to conserve water at the local scale and has been thought to be able to cope with drought, though it is not yet optimal, at least reduced to drought. This makes it necessary to manage water and the land in a friendly and conservative manner. Involving communities in land conservation is essential for long-term sustainability, especially in rural areas with steep to plateau (forest) terrain that should include catchment areas and efficient and compassionate ecological functions.
