Society in the historical strata has had a fairly close relationship with religion since prehistoric times. For society, religion is seen as the beliefs and behaviors that society uses to address important problems that cannot be solved by the technical systems and organizational techniques for which it is known. To overcome this limitation, humans use the manipulation of supernatural powers. The notion of "culture" is generally understood as a complex definition. Culture or culture can be thought of as a concept whose definition follows the content of its users, although it also refers to objective reality. That is, one person may have an opinion about "culture" or "culture", but another person may object to the words used; Because it requires the person concerned to appreciate his culture. Like the definition of "culture" above, "religion" also has different meanings, both from the point of view of its adherents and from the point of view of the sciences that study it (Sena Adiningrat, 2010). In all areas of world society; religion, culture and belief are three important and very basic elements. All three have a very strong bond and correlation as the core of society, so that even in the craziest and sane times, they are never broken. Because where there is an association or community or society, there is a habitus, then lived and continues to exist, then it becomes a culture. Meanwhile, religion is a belief in one's conscience, which essentially has an inner connection with feelings and the desire to embrace something and believe in it. So religion requires faith or belief. So believing in something important in religion is called faith.

Cipacing Village, Jatinangor District, Sumedang Regency is an area that has extensive plantation land and rice fields. This village is still beautiful with lush green trees and vast fields which are its own attraction. Many people in Cipacing Village still use plant species to treat diseases. The aim of this research is to identify the use and utilization of medicinal plants in Cipacing Village. This type of research is descriptive with qualitative research methods. Sampling was carried out using purposive sampling technique. Data collection was obtained from the results of semi-structured interviews. There were 30 respondents in this study who were described by characteristics such as gender, age and level of education. Based on research conducted, the plants used as medicine by the community are 23 families, 28 genera and 29 species with the dominant family being Zingiberaceae (26%) and the co-dominant family being Piperaceae (8.7%). The highest habitus was found in herbaceous plants (40%) while the part of the plant that was widely used was the leaves (57%). The most dominant plant processing used is by boiling the leaves and then filtering the boiled water for drinking.

Mekarmulya Village Park, Cinambo District, Bandung City is a park in the middle of the city and industry. This area is designed to provide green open space in the midst of urban density, so it plays an important role in improving the quality of life in the environment. This research aims to conduct a diversity study and risk analysis of invasive plants in the Mekarmulya Village Park area. Sampling was carried out by roaming throughout the park area. Data processing is carried out qualitatively and is descriptive. The research results showed that the invasive plants found consisted of 11 families, 16 genera, and 16 spesies with the dominant family being the Poaceae family (25%) and the co-dominant family being the Asteraceae family (18.75%). Various habits were obtained consisting of seedlings, saplings and poles, with the largest habitus being the seedling habitus. These invasive plants have an risk on biodiversity and the ecosystem around the park.

Indonesia is a country with very high biodiversity both in flora and fauna groups so that Indonesia is nicknamed the "Megabiodiversity" Country. The flora group has high diversity so that it always provides space for continuous study. This can be continued from the provincial, district to sub-district levels. Like one of the provinces in the western part of Indonesia, namely West Java. This province has a wealth of flora that is spread to every corner, including in one of the areas directly adjacent to West Bandung district, known as Jatinangor District. Jatinangor District is one of the areas in Sumedang Regency which is currently in a transitional period towards urban areas. The transition period is certainly a study that needs to be considered because it will impact on the richness of the flora in the region. One group of plants that still survives and is quite often found in Jatinangor District is the Fabaceae or legume family. Fabaceae is a group of plants that ranks third largest (after Orchidaceae and Asteraceae). This plant belongs to the Angiospermae division or plants that have flowers. This family is interpreted as having around 730 genera and 19,400 species with the largest genus being Astragalus (has more than 2000 species), then Acacia (more than 900 species), then Indigofera (more than 700 species), then Crotalaria (600 species), and finally Mimosas (500 species). Fabaceae itself is grouped into 3 subfamilies, namely Mimosoideae, Caesalpinioideae and Papilionoideae. ), and Soybean (Glycine max L). Soybean is the main crop grown with quite a lot of results and uniform size. In addition, there are differences in habitus, leaf shape, and leaf surface between the three types of plants. The variation in the number of samples also indicates the diversity of plant populations in the Fabaceae family at the study site.    

Indonesia is a country with a tropical climate, so it can produce high diversity, and plants adapt. This includes educational areas with green areas and a fairly even level of diversity, especially in the Anacardiaceae family with special characteristics, such as woody trees, resin channels, plants belonging to the shrub habitus, and single and compound leaves. This study used cruise methods or cruising methods by calculating and analyzing the actual situation in the environment of State Islamic University Sunan Gunung Djati Campus I. There were two genera and three species found, namely the genus Spondias with its species Spondias pinnata or amra and the genus Mangifera with its species Mangifera indica or mango and Mangifera odorata or kweni.    

Sidoarjo Regency has a beach in the eastern region along 27 km which crosses several sub-districts such as Sedati, Buduran, Sidoarjo, Porong and Jabon. The Lapindo mud disaster that occurred in 2006 in Sidoarjo had a broad impact on people's daily lives. The Lapindo mud disaster was an event of hot mudflow and the emergence of gas onto the ground which claimed many lives and had a major direct impact on the community. The occurrence of the Lapindo mud disaster was initiated by oil drilling from PT. Lapindo Brantas Inc., which was later in the drilling process, experienced a failure resulting in an explosion from underground and then gushing out. Many were victims in the incident ranging from babies, children, adults to the elderly and many people, houses, villages, districts, schools and other buildings were drowned. In addition, many people have lost their jobs and their homes which makes them all feel stressed to the point of depression. Until now, the problems caused by the Lapindo mudflow disaster have not been resolved. This is because the responsibility for compensation that is given is not evenly distributed or does not even receive a penny. As a result, there are still frequent conflicts and prolonged demonstrations. Meanwhile, the victims of the Lapindo mudflow have used many strategies to survive and continue their lives so that they do not continue to mourn the sadness that exists.

Malvaceae is a plant family that is often known as the cotton tribe. Malvaceae is known as a plant that has various benefits both in the health sector as medicine, industry, art, ecological interests, and others. Generally, the Malvaceae family is found in bush or shrub habitus and is rarely found in tree form. The research aimed to find out how many families Malvaceae grow in a field and to be able to identify and classify the plants found in an area. In the research that has been conducted, 4 individual plants have been found, consisting of 2 Balsa species, 1 hibiscus plant, and 1 pulutan plant. Hibiscus and pulutan plants are widely used as medicines because they contain chemical compounds that reduce the risk of various diseases and balsa trees are used in carving as crafts, aircraft modeling, and industrial matters.
