Abstract

Environmental degradation in Jambi City such as the pollution of the Batanghari River, increasing floods, and the decline of green open spaces demonstrates the urgent need to strengthen environmental conservation movements based on religious values. In this context, women activists occupy a strategic position as agents of change due to their close connection with community social dynamics. This community service program focuses on strengthening the capacity of women activists in mainstreaming ecotheology, utilizing local assets as internal community strengths, and developing cross-sector collaborative networks. The objectives include enhancing conceptual and practical competencies, optimizing local assets for ecological movements grounded in religious values, and expanding support through multisector partnerships. The program’s implementation shows that capacity building for women is a key factor in developing ecological awareness and encouraging environmental preservation at the community level. Conceptual and practical training strengthened skills in advocacy, leadership, and program management, enabling women to act as strategic drivers of change. The Asset-Based Community Development (ABCD) approach ensures program sustainability by utilizing individual, social, cultural, and physical community resources. Networking with government, religious institutions, educational organizations, media, environmental communities, and the business sector reinforced movement consolidation and opened broader collaboration. These efforts have the potential to foster an inclusive, participatory, and sustainable ecotheology movement.

Abstract

This article focuses on examining structur contributions in the community and the participation of local actors in maintaining religious harmony in Kuala Tungkal. This article uses qualitative research methods, data obtained through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted by following the stages: data reduction, data presentation, and data verification. This article finds that the contribution of the structural approach in maintaining religious harmony is inseparable in managing religious harmony. Structures in society, religious organizations, religious institutions, pesantren, and the government have become systemic networks that can collaborate in social work, especially maintaining religious harmony. This can be maintained if there are local actors who have power and interest in religious harmony. Local actors become an important and strategic consideration as a figure and are considered a person who practices religious teachings and can be a role model for their worshipers. Therefore, this article concludes that the elite-structural approach is not relevant if it is only carried out separately, but must involve local non-structural actors who have complementary roles in mobilizing society and peacemaking.
