Abstract

Purpose- This study aims to explore the paradigm shifts in environmental awareness and disaster theology among Muslim communities on the North Coast of Java, particularly focusing on generational differences between Gen X and Gen Z in responding to ecological crises such as floods. Design/methods/approach- This research employs a qualitative method using surveys and in-depth interviews, supported by literature review. The phenomenological approach is used to examine individual experiences and meanings related to disasters. The analysis framework is based on Peter L. Berger and Thomas Luckmann’s theory of the social construction of reality. Findings- The findings reveal that Gen Z tends to perceive disasters through the lens of environmental degradation and socio-political factors, influenced by digital media exposure and global ecological discourse. In contrast, Gen X adheres more to classical theological interpretations, viewing disasters as divine tests or punishments. However, both generations demonstrate ethical responses that are not solely rooted in theological understanding, but also shaped by evolving social values and knowledge. The typology of ethical-theological attitudes includes fatalism/vitalism in both passive and active forms. Research Implications- This research highlights the dynamic interaction between theology, ecology, and social construction in shaping environmental awareness. It underscores the need for strategic environmental education that integrates religious narratives to foster sustainable behavior, especially in disaster-prone communities with strong religious identities.

Abstract

This article investigates the ideological, identity-based, and geopolitical dynamics of the Salafist movement in Indonesia. Employing qualitative methods through an extensive literature review, the study utilizes Social Identity Theory as its primary analytical framework to examine how Salafi groups construct a distinct collective identity by asserting symbolic and doctrinal boundaries. To complement this framework, the concept of post-Islamism is interpretively applied to capture emerging tendencies within Indonesian Salafism that reveal greater flexibility, pragmatism, and selective engagement with democratic institutions. Findings indicate that while Salafi actors remain committed to doctrinal puritanism, they are simultaneously negotiating their presence in the broader Indonesian Islamic landscape through targeted digital da‘wah strategies and community integration efforts. Internal fragmentation and external socio-political pressures contribute to the development of more contextualized and fluid expressions of Salafism. Rather than a monolithic or static movement, Salafism in Indonesia constitutes a complex, evolving identity shaped by interactions among theology, digital media, state-religion relations, and global ideological currents.
