Abstract

Background. Indigenous rituals have long played a vital role in shaping human–nature relationships, often embedding ecological knowledge within cultural practices. In many forest-dependent communities, these rituals function not only as spiritual expressions but also as informal governance systems regulating resource use, biodiversity conservation, and environmental stewardship. The growing pressures of modernization, land-use change, and climate variability raise concerns about the continuity of such traditions and their ecological implications. Purpose. This study aims to examine the performance of indigenous rituals and their contribution to forest ecosystem sustainability within local communities. Method. An ethnographic research design was employed, involving participant observation, in-depth interviews with ritual practitioners and community elders, and analysis of ritual artifacts and narratives. Fieldwork was conducted over six months in two forest-dependent communities known for their active ritual traditions. Results. Findings reveal that rituals act as socio-cultural mechanisms for enforcing sustainable harvesting norms, protecting sacred groves, and transmitting ecological values intergenerationally. However, external economic pressures and declining youth participation threaten their efficacy. Conclusion. The study concludes that integrating indigenous ritual knowledge into formal conservation policies can strengthen forest governance and cultural resilience. Recognition and empowerment of such practices are essential for holistic and culturally grounded ecosystem management strategies.

Abstract

Background. Environmental history in the Indonesian archipelago has often relied on geological data, colonial records, and contemporary environmental reports, leaving indigenous textual traditions underexamined as potential sources of ecological knowledge. Babad Tanah Jawi, a key corpus of ancient Javanese historiographical manuscripts, contains rich descriptions of natural events, celestial signs, and social responses to environmental disruptions, yet its value as an ecological archive has not been systematically explored. Purpose. This study aims to investigate how these manuscripts document patterns of climate variability, environmental calamities, and ecological transformations, and to assess their relevance for reconstructing long-term environmental change in Java. Method. A philological research design was employed to analyze selected manuscript variants through textual criticism, intertextual comparison, and thematic ecological coding. The analysis identified recurrent references to volcanic eruptions, prolonged droughts, exceptional rainfall, crop failures, and shifts in river courses, which align with known geological and climatological data. Results. The findings also highlight indigenous interpretive frameworks that connect environmental disturbances with moral, cosmic, and political meanings, revealing the epistemological foundations through which premodern Javanese societies understood ecological instability. Conclusion. The study concludes that Babad Tanah Jawi offers valuable supplementary evidence for reconstructing historical climate patterns while also enriching contemporary environmental humanities through its integration of cosmology, ecology, and social memory. These insights underscore the importance of indigenous manuscripts as cultural-ecological repositories that can broaden interdisciplinary approaches to climate history, disaster studies, and resilience research.

Abstract

Background. The rapid ecological degradation occurring across Southeast Asia has intensified scholarly interest in indigenous philosophical systems that articulate holistic models of human environment relations. Tri Hita Karana (THK), a foundational Balinese philosophical framework emphasizing harmony among humans, nature, and the divine, has increasingly been invoked in discussions of sustainability; however, empirical and conceptual examinations of how THK can inform contemporary environmental ethics remain limited. Purpose. This study aims to analyze THK as a philosophical foundation for sustainable practices by exploring its metaphysical assumptions, socio-cultural manifestations, and potential integration into modern sustainability paradigms.   Method. The research employs a qualitative hermeneutic design, combining textual analysis of Balinese lontar manuscripts, ethnographic documentation, and thematic synthesis of secondary environmental studies. Results. The findings reveal that THK offers a distinctive triadic model of relational ethics parahyangan (divine harmony), pawongan (social harmony), and palemahan (ecological harmony) that collectively provide normative guidance for sustainable living and resource management. These principles demonstrate compatibility with contemporary ecological frameworks while offering culturally grounded motivations for environmental stewardship. Conclusion. The study concludes that the THK philosophy constitutes a viable ethical foundation for sustainable development, supporting integrative approaches that blend spiritual values, communal responsibility, and ecological awareness. The philosophical coherence and cultural rootedness of THK suggest strong applicability in policy design, environmental education, and community-based conservation efforts.

Abstract

Background. The “Hijrah” movement among Indonesian urban professionals and celebrities represents a contemporary form of Islamic revivalism shaped by the intersections of faith, modernity, and social identity. This study investigates how participants in this movement construct and perform piety within the context of urban consumer culture and digital visibility. Purpose. The research aims to explore the sociological dynamics underlying their motivations, networks, and self-representations as expressions of a quest for “pious modernity. Method. Using a qualitative ethnographic approach, the study combines in-depth interviews, participant observation, and digital ethnography across Jakarta, Bandung, and Surabaya from 2023 to 2024. Results. Findings reveal that the hijrah phenomenon is not merely a religious transformation but also a form of social repositioning and identity negotiation in response to moral uncertainty in modern life. Hijrah communities utilize social media, fashion, and entrepreneurial ventures to embody Islamic ethics while remaining embedded in urban capitalist systems. Conclusion. The study concludes that the hijrah movement exemplifies a hybrid religiosity merging spiritual authenticity with middle-class aspirations thereby illustrating the ongoing negotiation between Islam and modernity in Indonesia’s post-reform urban culture.

Abstract

Hamzah Fansuri, one of the earliest Malay Sufi poets, represents a significant intellectual and spiritual synthesis in the history of Islamic thought in the Malay Archipelago. His poetry, infused with metaphysical symbolism and Sufistic language, serves as a reflection of the deep assimilation of Islamic mysticism into local cultural and linguistic contexts. This study aims to analyze the mystical dimensions and intellectual foundations of Hamzah Fansuri’s works to understand their role in shaping early Islamic intellectualism in Southeast Asia. A qualitative textual analysis was employed, focusing on hermeneutic interpretation and semiotic examination of selected verses from his syair and rubaiyat. The findings reveal that Hamzah Fansuri’s writings embody the principles of wahdat al-wujud (unity of existence), while simultaneously integrating Malay linguistic aesthetics and metaphors of maritime culture. His intellectualism is marked by a synthesis between Islamic metaphysics, local cosmology, and poetic expression. The research concludes that Hamzah Fansuri’s mystical poetry not only symbolizes the indigenization of Islamic thought but also represents an early articulation of philosophical discourse in the Malay literary tradition. The study reaffirms his position as a foundational figure in bridging Islamic intellectualism and cultural creativity in the region.
