Model Konservasi Hutan Berbasis Komunikasi Agama di Masyarakat Adat

Abstract

This article focuses on the study of the religious communication (Islam) of indigenous people of Kampung Dukuh Garut regency West Java in interacting with nature (forest). This research aims to find the original concepts in the conservation of forests. The research approach is a qualitative/ethnographic, and interpretive/ecological approach through participatory observation and in-depth interviews. The data obtained from these studies indicate that the religious pattern of Indigenous Peoples of Kampung Dukuh tends to be dialogical, compromising and accommodative, thus raising theoretical implications: (1) interdependence between religion and culture with their own uniqueness and peculiarities that are subjectively acknowledged by them as “Adat Islami”; (2) The model conservation wich are committed by indigenous peoples called “Theological Awareness Model”is oriented towards ecological awareness placed on the foundation of monotheism, worship, science, khilafah, justice, beauty, and welfare. (Eco-Theologi, Eco-Ushul Fiqih; and Eco-sofi (Tasawwuf)).
