Abstract

Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk menganalisis transformasi kepemilikan tanah masyarakat lokal serta mengkaji respons religius-ekopastoral Gereja dalam konteks perubahan sosial pedesaan di Kecamatan Dimembe, Minahasa Utara, Indonesia. Penelitian ini penting karena penyusutan kepemilikan tanah tidak hanya berdampak pada keberlanjutan ekonomi rumah tangga, tetapi juga memengaruhi struktur stratifikasi sosial, identitas kultural, dan keseimbangan ekologis masyarakat lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan pendekatan campuran (mixed methods) dengan desain deskriptif-eksplanatif melalui observasi lapangan, wawancara mendalam, dokumentasi, dan survei terhadap masyarakat di Desa Matungkas, Laikit, Dimembe, dan Tatelu. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa kepemilikan tanah masyarakat lokal mengalami penyusutan signifikan akibat ekspansi perumahan, pertumbuhan sektor perdagangan dan jasa, aktivitas pertambangan emas, serta tekanan kebutuhan ekonomi rumah tangga. Transformasi tersebut menggeser rezim kepemilikan dari model tenurial berbasis kerja menuju model berbasis modal, sehingga tanah beralih dari ruang hidup produktif menjadi komoditas investasi. Pergeseran ini memperlemah ketahanan ekonomi rumah tangga, mengubah pola penghidupan agraris, memperdalam stratifikasi sosial berbasis kepemilikan lahan, serta meningkatkan kerentanan sosial-ekologis wilayah peri-urban. Penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa penyusutan kepemilikan tanah merupakan persoalan sosial-ekologis yang menuntut respons struktural dan kultural. Oleh karena itu, pendekatan ekopastoral Gereja perlu diintegrasikan dalam strategi pemberdayaan masyarakat melalui edukasi ekologis, advokasi perlindungan tenurial, dan penguatan spiritualitas ekologis berbasis keberlanjutan. Penelitian ini menawarkan kebaruan dengan mengintegrasikan analisis sosial-agraria dan religiusitas sebagai variabel normatif-struktural dalam memahami transformasi agraria pedesaan di Indonesia.

Abstract

Scholars increasingly understand the global ecological crisis not merely as an environmental problem but as a civilizational crisis rooted in the relationship between humans, God, nature, and the social order. This article examines the implementation of ecotheology in Islamic education at Ma’had Al-Zaytun, Indramayu, West Java, by positioning it as a form of religious educational practice that seeks to respond to the ecological crisis through the integration of faith, scientific knowledge, and ecological responsibility. The study employs a qualitative approach, using field observations conducted on December 10–12, 2025, in-depth interviews, and document analysis. The findings show that ecotheology at Ma’had Al-Zaytun does not remain at the normative level; instead, the institution operationalizes it as lived theology through an interdisciplinary curriculum, sustainable agricultural practices, an environmentally friendly lifestyle culture, and the management of socio-ecological relations with surrounding communities. However, this implementation also faces structural challenges, cultural resistance, and theological controversies related to interpretive religious authority and institutional sustainability. This article argues that Ma’had Al-Zaytun can be understood as a socio-ecological laboratory where Islamic ecotheology undergoes practical experimentation while simultaneously attracting critical debate. This study contributes to the development of ecotheological scholarship in Indonesia by positioning the pesantren as a significant arena for the renewal of Islamic education that responds to the ecological crisis, while acknowledging the social and theological tensions that accompany such efforts.
