Abstract

Water conservation amid the climate crisis requires a holistic approach based on eco-mysticism that integrates ecological knowledge with cultural and spiritual values. This study examines the role of local eco-mysticism as a basis for water conservation at Sendang Tawun, Ngawi. The research focuses on ritual practices and local beliefs of the Tawun community in preserving water sources. The aim is to understand the relationship between mystical rituals, customary prohibitions, and environmental conservation efforts. The method employed is qualitative research with a case study approach through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation. Data were obtained from traditional leaders, local communities, officials, vendors, and visitors. The findings show that local eco-mysticism is manifested through the Keduk Beji ritual and prohibitions against taking turtles, fish, and plants from the spring area. These beliefs are grounded in ancestral reverence, faith in spiritual guardians, and fear of misfortune. Such practices have proven effective in sustaining water sources, preserving traditions, and promoting tourism-based economies. Thus, eco-mysticism can serve as a model of culturally rooted water conservation.

Abstract

Financial inclusion is a condition in which everyone has fair and equitable access to a wide range of financial products and services, including sharia-compliant ones. The use of Islamic finance has not been optimal in empowering rural women because there is still limited access to inclusive Islamic financial institutions. This study aims to analyze the role of Islamic financial inclusion in increasing women’s economic empowerment through community-based financial practices. This qualitative, phenomenological research explores the role of Islamic financial inclusion in advancing women’s economic empowerment through community-based financial practices. The locus of this research is KSPPS Barokah Nur Muttain, Tebon Village, West District, Magetan Regency, serving as a model of sharia financial inclusion for the Yasinan Barokah Nur Muttain pilgrim community. Data were obtained through participatory observations and in-depth interviews with cooperative administrators, Yasinan Barokah Nur Muttain congregational mothers, community leaders, and related officials at the Cooperatives and MSEs Office, as well as documentation on the performance of KSPPS Barokah Nur Muttain. The study results show that implementing sharia financial inclusion within the Yasinan congregation community at KSPPS Barokah Nur Muttain effectively supports women’s empowerment by integrating access to sharia financing and spiritual activities. The supporting factors include religious values, solidarity, and trust among members, while the main challenges are limited capital and low financial literacy. This Islamic financial inclusion empowers 45 women, as seen in improved family finances, the development of small businesses, and strengthened social networks through Yasinan activities. This research is expected to create an effective Islamic financial inclusion model for women’s empowerment at the local level.
