Abstract

The Surabaya Main Waste Bank (BSIS) represents an innovative approach to urban waste management by integrating environmental, social, and educational dimensions. This study aims to explore the communication system of BSIS and its role in supporting environmental education and community empowerment, particularly in the context of its integration with educational institutions. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through a case study method, data were collected via observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings reveal that BSIS functions not only as a waste management center but also as an environmentally oriented community learning space. Its structured and educational communication strategies enable BSIS to serve as a real-life learning laboratory for schools, particularly in supporting Adiwiyata programs and contextual, cross-curricular learning. Nevertheless, the study identifies key challenges, including the limited formal integration with educational institutions and the lack of teacher training related to community-based environmental education.To address these challenges, the study highlights the need for curriculum integration and community-based teacher training programs to strengthen the synergy between environmental management and sustainable education.

Abstract

Mahr the obligatory bridal gift in Islamic marriage functions simultaneously as a religious requirement, a cultural symbol, and an economic transfer. This comparative study examines contemporary mahr practices in Indonesia and Saudi Arabia, identifying the sociocultural, religious, and economic factors that shape mahr values and meanings in each country. Employing a mixed‑methods design, the study combines survey data from 612 married couples (Indonesia = 324; Saudi Arabia = 288) with 48 semi‑structured interviews. Quantitative results reveal significant cross‑national differences in median mahr amounts (USD 1,050 in Indonesia vs. USD 13,800 in Saudi Arabia) and in the weight of predictors such as bride’s education and family income. Qualitative analysis uncovers convergent themes of religious duty and social prestige, but divergent narratives around economic burden and women’s agency. By integrating both data strands, the study contributes a nuanced understanding of how local cultures negotiate global Islamic norms. Policy implications include the need for premarital counseling focused on financial literacy and the potential role of Islamic legal institutions in promoting equitable mahr agreements.
