Abstract

The conversion of rubber plantation to oil palm cultivation in Riau province is raising concerns regarding the decline of rubber commodity. Historically, the province has been a key producer of such commodity in Indonesia. The community-owned rubber plantation, on the other hand, is diminishing, leading to a troubling cycle that makes it difficult to establish environmentally sustainable programs. Therefore, this research aimed to assess sustainability of smallholder rubber plantation in Riau. It was observed that the comprehensive RapRubber analysis yielded an index of 39.76, classifying status as less sustainable. The results showed that the management of rubber plantation was under pressure. In a more detailed analysis, the ecological dimension had an index of 43.22, placing it in the less sustainable category. The economic dimension scored 50.80, signifying a relatively sustainable status. In contrast, the social dimension reduced with an index of 25.25, classifying it as less sustainable. The attributes that contributed to the unsustainability of the ecological dimension were fire frequency and by-products, while the factors contributing to less sustainability of the social dimension included the initial land-clearing methods, preservation practices, and local wisdom. In the economic dimension, land status and pricing were essential determinants of sustainability.

Abstract

This study investigates the cross-cultural adaptation of zakat and sadaqah as instruments of Islamic philanthropy to foster socio-economic empowerment in predominantly non-Muslim superpower nations. Within the globalized context, these mechanisms demonstrate significant potential for addressing social inequalities, yet their implementation faces unique socio-cultural challenges. Through a systematic literature review, this research analyzes empirical studies on the integration of zakat and sadaqah in diverse societies, revealing that non-Muslim communities’ acceptance hinges on understanding their underlying ethical principles and socio-economic utility. Key barriers include cultural dissonance, regulatory constraints, and skepticism toward faith-based initiatives, which impede collaboration with local institutions. The study underscores the imperative of adaptive strategies—such as culturally tailored education, technology-mediated transparency, and interfaith dialogue—to bridge these gaps. By positioning zakat and sadaqah within localized frameworks of social justice, this research proposes actionable pathways for policymakers and philanthropic organizations to leverage Islamic finance for equitable resource distribution. Ultimately, a context-sensitive approach can transform these religious obligations into scalable tools for reducing inequality and enhancing community resilience in superpower states.
