Abstract

This research is in the field of religious, social, and cultural studies, focusing on marine tourism governance from the perspective of governmentality and the interaction between power, spirituality, and sustainability. Papuma Beach in Jember Regency was chosen as the study location because it illustrates the complexity of coastal tourism management, which is fraught with economic interests and formal power, but on the other hand has a strong spiritual value system in the local community. This research aims to identify the forms of power at work in tourism management and understand how religion plays a role in the production of meaning around sustainability and resistance to technocratic development models. The methods used are a critical qualitative approach with participatory observation techniques, in-depth interviews, and documentary studies. The results show that the dominance of the state and market in the management of Papuma tourism creates cultural dislocation and marginalization of local communities. However, the community has developed various forms of symbolic resistance and alternative practices based on religious values and local wisdom. This study contributes to the development of governmentality theory in a local context and expands the discourse on sustainability by integrating maqāṣid al-sharī‘ah and eco-theology as analytical frameworks. In conclusion, equitable tourism development can only be achieved through participatory governance rooted in community values. These findings are important as a basis for formulating contextual, fair, and locally rooted sustainable tourism policies.

Abstract

This article is situated within the field of environmental sociology and adopts an interdisciplinary approach that integrates religious, cultural, and water resource conservation dimensions. The aim of this study is to analyze the rainwater harvesting movement as a social practice that is not only technically and ecologically oriented but also shaped by the construction of myths and religious values within society. The significance of this topic lies in the understanding that the increasingly complex water crisis cannot be viewed solely as an environmental issue; it must also be recognized as a social phenomenon intertwined with value systems, power dynamics, and the daily practices of communities. This study employs qualitative methods, specifically a case study approach that includes field observations conducted in the Banyu Bening Community of Tempursari Hamlet, Sardonoharjo, located in the Ngaglik Subdistrict of Sleman Regency in the Special Region of Yogyakarta. The research also features in-depth interviews and narrative analyses of community practices and interpretations related to rainwater. The findings reveal that the rainwater harvesting movement has emerged from a tension between environmental conservation rationality, mythological beliefs, and the legitimization of religious values. While this practice serves as an adaptive strategy to confront the water crisis, its effectiveness is heavily influenced by how well religious values are internalized as ecological ethics that inspire collective action. This research contributes to strengthening the hydrosocial perspective within environmental sociology by identifying religion as a crucial factor in conservation practices. The findings emphasize the necessity of integrating local knowledge, religious values, and environmental policies to achieve sustainability. Consequently, this research provides an essential foundation for developing contextually relevant and sustainable conservation strategies that are deeply rooted in culture and religion.
