This study explores the intersection of classical Islamic philosophical thought and modern environmental ethics to propose a Sharia-based eco-theology model for addressing global sustainability challenges. It investigates key Islamic environmental principles, such as khalifah (stewardship), amanah (trustworthiness), and mizan (balance), which emphasize humanity’s responsibility to protect and preserve the environment. These values, derived from Islamic teachings, offer a moral and spiritual framework for ecological stewardship, aligning closely with contemporary concerns like sustainability, biodiversity preservation, and climate change mitigation. The research integrates these Islamic principles with modern ecological ethics, including ecocentrism, deep ecology, and environmental justice, to construct a holistic eco-theological model. Through this framework, the study emphasizes the importance of balancing ecological, economic, and social factors to promote environmental justice. The findings suggest that Islamic eco-theology can play a significant role in fostering environmental responsibility within Muslim communities and beyond, contributing to global sustainability efforts. Practical applications of these principles are seen in educational initiatives, such as the incorporation of eco-theology into curricula at Islamic institutions, and in community-based environmental projects. The research also highlights the challenges and limitations of traditional interpretations of Islamic environmental ethics, suggesting the need for progressive and adaptive approaches in addressing modern environmental issues. Future research directions include exploring the integration of this eco-theology in policy-making, Islamic education, and cross-cultural applications, ensuring its relevance to diverse communities facing environmental challenges.

Mutual cooperation is also a local wisdom of the Toba Batak community, which is often referred to as Marsiadapari, a mutual cooperation activity carried out by the Toba Batak community in providing labor assistance without giving wages to the people who help them. Marsiadapari is carried out voluntarily to help each other in the community around their rice fields who need help. The aim of the research is to find out the local wisdom of Marsiadapari carried out in Marhobas at Batak Feasts and to find out the Modernization of Marsiadapari: Ecological Reflections in Marhobas at Batak Feasts. The method used in this research is a qualitative method based on case studies and literature studies and uses reliable and accurate sources such as journals, books and the Bible. Marsiadapari: ecological reflection in marhobas at Batak festivals is local wisdom that has long existed, but with the rapid modernization that is creating many changes, Toba Batak people need to be more critical in responding to current modernization, not to turn a blind eye to the modernization of local wisdom of the Batak community Toba, and can also maintain the ecology of Marhobas at the Toba Batak party.

This research aims to find out how ecopedagogy is implemented in elementary school learning to increase environmental awareness and student involvement. This article was prepared using the systematic literature review (SLR) method. Searches were carried out using Google Schooler. In the initial stage of the journal search, 235 journal articles were obtained with a time limit, namely from 2014 to 2023. The procedure for searching and selecting articles in this study used preferred reporting items for systematic reviews & meta-analyses (PRISMA). Ecopedagogy discusses three main areas, namely technical ecoliteracy , critical ecoliteracy, and cultural ecoliteracy. The implementation of ecopedagogical integration in elementary school management which aims to instill environmental character values ​​from generation to generation can be carried out in several forms, namely integration in the curriculum and learning by including an understanding of ecology in the subjects or materials taught and the application of methods or media. Environmentally caring character education aims to instill values ​​and awareness of the environment in students. Case studies of the application of ecopedagogy in education show that it can be applied through digital media and multi-dominant learning to develop cognitive, psychomotor and environmental awareness. Barriers to implementing environmentally caring character education in schools include internal factors such as students' bad habits and lack of knowledge, as well as external factors such as inadequate learning support equipment and lack of cooperation between teachers and parents. Collaboration between teachers, students, parents, and the community is essential for successful implementation.

The church is faced with an urgent responsibility to address the environmental crisis by building awareness of eco-tourism. By promoting eco-tourism as a tool to preserve nature and support sustainable development, the church not only provides theological understanding but also acts as a real agent of change in supporting environmental conservation efforts. A literature review of environmental ecology theory, eco-tourism theory, and Christian religious views provides a foundation for understanding human behavior towards nature. This research, using a descriptive qualitative method, combines literature analysis with the author's field experience to formulate a theoretical proposal. The church is considered to have a crucial responsibility in protecting the environment and building eco-tourism by supporting environmental programs, collaborating with NGOs, providing environmental education through worship, playing an active role in commemorating environmental days, and taking concrete steps in the development of sustainable eco-tourism. Conclusions highlight three concepts of the human view of the environment, with humans together with nature approaching the values of Christian eco-theology, while suggestions include church support on government environmental programs and close cooperation with NGOs to raise the environmental awareness of its members.  

Ecology is a branch of biology that studies the relationship between living things and their habitats. Basically, living things depend on other living things or their habitats, so there is a reciprocal relationship between living things and other living things or their habitat. This relationship between organisms or their habitats is an interaction that can be in the form of predation, parasitism, commensalism, and mutualism. This study collected data through direct observation in the field. Mahogany is a semi-tolerant tree that is easy to grow and adapts well to various types of land, including beaches, teak forest edges, and even roadsides. Mahogany plants are often planted on the roadside as protective trees (Prasetyono, 2012). Mahogany has many advantages, because its wood, bark, sap and leaves are all available, and the interaction of biotic and abiotic factors with organisms greatly affects the growth of organisms. The relationship resulting from factors that occur in sonokeling trees, ketapang trees, mango trees and durian trees is an interaction between symbiotic symbiosis and parasitic symbiosis. Symbiosis Symbiosis is a relationship between two organisms where one benefits and the other is not harmed or benefited, that is, the interaction between durian trees and ferns and dragon scales. Parasite symbiosis is a relationship of two organisms in which one benefits and the other is harmed, that is, the interaction between mango trees and benalu.

Botanical gardens and zoos are living collection areas designed to preserve living plant and animal species. Biodiversity throughout the Indonesian archipelago represents the country's potential, and each region of the Indonesian archipelago has its own unique species of flora and fauna. Therefore, in addition to establishing protected areas as a conservation measure, rare animals and nature tourism from each region are also identified. Cocoons and national animals characterize and identify each region. National animals with puspa.  Used as a mascot or regional identity.

The development of digital technology and social media has driven a major transformation in the study of linguistics, particularly in understanding the evolution of global languages and the emergence of digital dialects. Interactions on platforms such as Twitter, Instagram, and TikTok accelerate the formation of new vocabulary, the use of slang, and the spread of cross-cultural expression. Antony and Tramboo (2023) highlight the digital metamorphosis in language, while Friedrich and De Figueiredo (2016) explain the birth of digital Englishes in a sociolinguistic perspective. Language research challenges on social media have also emerged, such as the limitations of dialect processing (Jørgensen et al., 2015) and the influence of digital linguistic ecology (Klushina, 2022). Advances in natural language processing (NLP) have also strengthened this study. Cambria and White (2014) and Skaria et al. (2024) show the development of NLP from sentiment analysis to its application in education (Khensous et al., 2023) and multilingual text analysis (Agüero-Torales et al., 2021). The systematic review of Sundaram et al. (2023) and Prihatini et al. (2023) reinforces the evidence that social media expands language skills and enriches contemporary discourse, while Sun et al. (2021) show an increasing trend of digital linguistic research through bibliometric analysis, including cultural gaps (Rani & Samjetsabam, 2024). Overall, language not only evolves naturally, but also through human interaction with technology and digital culture. Digital dialects, slang, and online communication patterns are part of the global linguistic evolution that opens up interdisciplinary research opportunities between linguistics, computing, and cultural studies.

This sociological study of religion attempts to explain the relationship between humans and spirits in the syncretism of Theravada Buddhism tradition with case studies in Indonesia, Cambodia, and Myanmar. In these countries, before the influence of the Indian Dharmic Religion, people practiced Theravada Buddhism side by side with folk beliefs. This study uses the theory of correlational theology from Paul Tillich as the search for common ground in reflection of the syncretic folk belief of worshipping Danghyang among Javanese people in Indonesia, Neak Ta among Khmer people in Cambodia, and Nat among Burmese people in Myanmar. The method used literature research and field observations in three countries in 2020. The results of this study are in the exploration of doctrinal concepts from religious texts and the acculturation practices on cultural heritage between the folk belief with the view of wholeness theology in Theravada Buddhism cosmology. Humans live in harmony with other creatures in this world according to the law of attachment and reciprocity, or Paticcasamuppada, consisting of 31 realms of existence. In the context of the three countries, these spirits articulate three relations: the relationship between guardian spirits and the people, the relationship between the deceased spirits and the living, and the relationship between spirits and the social environment, as in line with spiritual ecology (215 words)

This study aims to analyze the interaction of local culture and climate change from an environmental science perspective, with a focus on the socio-ecological adaptation strategies of coastal communities in the Indonesian archipelago. Climate change has had significant impacts on coastal areas, ranging from increased tidal flooding and coastal erosion to decreased fisheries productivity. In this context, coastal communities rely not only on technical approaches but also utilize local wisdom that has been passed down through generations. The research method used is a qualitative study with an environmental ethnography approach, which allows researchers to explore the relationship between culture, ecology, and environmental adaptation. Data were collected through participant observation, in-depth interviews with traditional leaders, fishermen, and local communities, and analysis of cultural documents covering rituals, customary rules, and traditional ecological practices. Data analysis was conducted thematically to identify adaptation patterns, then compared with technical approaches in environmental studies. The results show that coastal communities in the Indonesian archipelago have various forms of culturally based adaptation that are relevant to the challenges of climate change. For example, the practice of marine sasi in Maluku serves to preserve fishery resources, traditional rituals in Bali support collective ecological awareness, and mutual cooperation (gotong royong) on ​​the coast of Java helps mitigate tidal flooding. These practices demonstrate that local wisdom serves a dual purpose: strengthening social cohesion and sustainably protecting the environment. The study's conclusions confirm that adaptation strategies will be more effective if they integrate local wisdom with science-based technical approaches. This integration not only strengthens ecological resilience but also ensures the socio-cultural sustainability of coastal communities.

The concept of the smart city has emerged as a strategic response to rapid urbanization, increasing population density, and escalating environmental degradation. It is designed to create more efficient urban management through the integration of information and communication technologies, with the primary goal of enhancing public services, optimizing resource use, and improving citizens’ quality of life. One of its most significant promises is its potential to mitigate ecological challenges, particularly in monitoring and reducing air pollution levels. This study aims to analyze the impact of smart city implementation on urban ecology and quality of life, focusing on air quality as a key indicator. A quantitative comparative approach was applied, using both primary data from air quality measurements PM2.5, CO₂, NO₂, and AQI and secondary data from government reports, environmental agencies, and academic publications. The research was conducted in five major Asian cities recognized for adopting smart city initiatives. The results reveal varied outcomes: Tokyo and Kuala Lumpur demonstrated substantial improvements in air quality and livability, while Beijing and New Delhi continued to struggle with severe pollution. Jakarta showed partial progress, though improvements remain limited. These findings indicate that while technology is critical, it alone does not ensure ecological sustainability. Effective governance, public participation, and context-based strategies are equally crucial. This study highlights the need for smart city policies to prioritize ecological resilience and human well-being as central elements of sustainable urban development.
