Abstract

This study aims to analyze a community-based waste management model through the zero-waste program at Salman Mosque ITB as an effort to address social and ecological issues caused by waste generation. The zero-waste approach is crucial because the growing population is not accompanied by adequate awareness and mindset in managing waste, resulting in the overcapacity of Final Disposal Sites (TPA). This research employs a qualitative method using field studies and literature reviews. The data were collected through observation, interviews, documentation, and literature studies from books, scientific articles, and relevant online sources. The findings reveal that the Salman Environment Rangers (Savior) community, empowered at Salman Mosque ITB, plays a central role in educating the public about waste sorting and management, as well as implementing a waste donation program to reduce the burden on TPA. The implications of this study demonstrate that a community-based approach through the zero-waste program can foster responsible consumption and production patterns and contribute to achieving the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The originality of this research lies in its direct observation of community-based waste management practices in a mosque setting, which remains underexplored in the context of zero waste in Indonesia.

Abstract

This study explores the socio-economic impacts of climate change on coastal communities in Indramayu, Indonesia, focusing on livelihood changes, social mobility, and local adaptation processes. Amid growing global concern over climate vulnerabilities, this research underscores the importance of addressing human dimensions in climate responses. Employing a qualitative approach, data were collected through online observations and literature reviews, then analyzed thematically to identify recurring patterns and adaptive behaviors. The findings reveal that climate change has severely affected traditional economic sectors—especially fisheries—triggering income diversification through microenterprises and nature-based tourism. Social solidarity, informal leadership, and collective environmental actions such as mangrove rehabilitation emerged as key components of community resilience. Nonetheless, disparities in access to information, resources, and policy support hinder equitable adaptation, particularly for marginalized groups like small-scale fishers and female-headed households. This research contributes to the literature on climate adaptation by illustrating how socio-economic transformation is both a necessity and consequence of environmental stress. It calls for inclusive, evidence-informed policy interventions that empower communities and reduce adaptation inequality. The originality of this study lies in its emphasis on socio-economic adaptation processes within Indonesian coastal communities—an area underrepresented in existing scholarship.​

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role and function of Bale Zakat Sedekah (BAZAS) West Java in spreading da'wah through the management of zakat, infaq, and sedekah as a socio-religious instrument. The research method uses a qualitative approach, with data collected through interviews, observations, and documentation, to obtain a comprehensive picture of the institution's implementation of da'wah and empowerment. The results show that BAZAS has a strategic role in distributing Islamic philanthropic funds in a structured manner, both in economic, social, and da'wah aspects. From an economic perspective, zakat management can improve the welfare of mustahiq through empowerment programs that encourage financial independence. From a social aspect, this institution contributes to strengthening solidarity and welfare equality through the distribution of aid to groups in need. Meanwhile, in the context of da'wah, zakat distribution activities become a medium for da'wah bil-hal that presents Islamic values through concrete actions, not just verbal lectures. Thus, BAZAS functions as a transformative da'wah institution that positions zakat not only as ritual worship, but also a means of empowering the community in the modern era. However, optimizing the role of institutions still requires strengthening governance, transparency, and program evaluation to maximize the measurable impact of da'wah and empowerment. This research is expected to serve as a reference for developing an adaptive, productive, and sustainable zakat institutional model based on da'wah.

Abstract

The Ar Ridho Foundation is an institution that actively empowers orphans and the poor through educational programs that emphasize equality, inclusivity, and the elimination of social classes. In the context of multicultural Islamic education, efforts to eliminate social classes are an important aspect that is rarely studied in depth, especially at the level of religious institutional practice. This phenomenon is important to study because it shows how Islamic values ​​​​of human equality, respect for dignity, and empowerment can be realized through structured educational programs. This study aims to analyze the implementation of multicultural Islamic education at the Ar Ridho Foundation and identify educational empowerment strategies used to eliminate social classes between orphans and the poor and children in general. The research method uses a qualitative approach with a case study, involving in-depth interviews, moderate participant observation, and documentation as data collection techniques. Data analysis is carried out through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions interactively. The results show that the Ar Ridho Foundation implements multicultural Islamic education through a commensurate institutional culture, non-discriminatory social interaction, and educational programs such as tutoring, educational counseling, career guidance counseling, and the provision of technological facilities. These programs have been shown to improve academic ability, self-confidence, and educational opportunities, significantly reducing class barriers. This study recommends expanding educational collaboration, improving learning facilities, and strengthening mentors' capacity as strategic steps to enhance the sustainability of class-based education efforts.

Abstract

This study explores the profound cultural and social significance of the sisingaan tradition in the Panganten Sunat ceremony in Cibiru District, Bandung City, Indonesia, through the lens of Victor Turner's ritual theory. Rooted in local customs, this tradition is not merely a form of entertainment but serves as a symbolic ritual of social transition, marking the passage from childhood to adulthood for individuals undergoing circumcision. Using a qualitative approach, the research highlights liminality—a transitional phase in which participants shift in social roles and identities. The findings reveal that the sisingaan tradition fosters an egalitarian sense of community (communitas), breaking down hierarchical barriers and reinforcing social solidarity and cohesion among participants. Through rich symbolic elements such as lion effigies, traditional music, and ceremonial processions, the ritual acts as a vehicle for preserving cultural heritage and strengthening the collective identity of the Cibiru community. The study concludes that the sisingaan tradition serves as both a cultural preservation mechanism and a social tool for teaching values to younger generations. Its contributions extend beyond the ceremonial, highlighting the role of traditional rituals in fostering unity, maintaining cultural integrity, and shaping societal structures.
