close relationship among God, human, and nature by empowering all elements of the
earth, harmonious and balanced. The cycle of nature, life, culture, soul, body, energy,
water, materials and money need to be managed in an integrated and sustainable way
to gain economic, environmental and socio-cultural value (Agus 2017, 2018). The
