Abstract

This study addresses the problem of how indigenous communities maintain cultural continuity, ecological balance, and health resilience amid the pressures of modernization. Focusing on Kampung Adat Miduana in Cianjur, West Java, this research aims to analyze the relationship among local knowledge, ritual practices, ecological wisdom, and longevity within the community. This study employs a qualitative ethnographic method, collecting data through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation with traditional leaders, ritual practitioners, elders, and community members. The results show that the longevity of the Miduana community is closely related to a natural lifestyle, including a plant-based diet, consumption of untreated spring water, regular physical activity through farming and walking in mountainous areas, and a balanced psychological-spiritual life rooted in Islamic values and local traditions. The community also utilizes approximately 120 medicinal plants and maintains ecological practices that support both health and environmental sustainability. In addition, agricultural rituals and communal traditions function as mechanisms of social cohesion, cultural transmission, and environmental awareness. This study concludes that Kampung Adat Miduana represents a sustainable indigenous model of living that integrates health, spirituality, local knowledge, and environmental harmony, although modernization remains a challenge to cultural preservation.

Abstract

This study examines the internal conflict within Nahdlatul Ulama (NU) triggered by the organization’s involvement in a funding request to the Ministry of Social Affairs through the Social Welfare Service Charity Foundation (YDBKS), which managed the Social Philanthropy with Prizes (SDSB) program a scheme widely associated with gambling. Although the funds were intended for the renovation of the Hasyimiyah Foundation in Tuban, the issue escalated into a major controversy because it contradicted NU’s official stance on SDSB. Previous studies have discussed NU’s institutional politics, yet the specific dilemma arising from its entanglement with state-linked fundraising mechanisms has not been sufficiently analyzed. Therefore, this research aims to clarify how the NU dan SDSB case reflects tensions between pragmatic institutional needs and normative religious principles. Using the historical method consisting of heuristics, source criticism, interpretation, and historiography, the study reveals that the conflict was not merely administrative but exposed deeper moral inconsistencies, internal leadership fragmentation, and contested legitimacy within NU. The findings demonstrate the urgency of ethical coherence and transparent governance in religious organizations facing socio-political pressures. The study contributes novelty by framing the NU–SDSB controversy as a critical lens for understanding the negotiation between moral authority and pragmatic decision-making in modern Islamic institutions.
