Abstract:
This research discusses eco-spirituality in the tradition of the Tajakembang indigenous community - Cilacap, with a focus on sustainable agricultural management and the resilience of the cultural socio-ecological system.
Using an ethnographic approach and qualitative analysis, this research illustrates how this community integrates spiritual values in their agricultural practices, thus creating a sustainable and resilient agricultural system, referring to the development of harmonious relationships between humans and nature, as well as the integration of Islamic values oriented towards environmental balance. The application of community resilience theory and social practice theory in this study provides a critical perspective to analyse the dynamic interaction between structure and agency in social relations.
This research contributes to the understanding of eco-spirituality in indigenous community traditions, emphasising its role in sustainable agricultural management and the resilience of the cultural socio-ecological system and the integration of various values. The resilience of the cultural socio-ecological system refers to a community's ability to adapt and survive in the face of environmental and social change. Eco-spirituality values strengthen the resilience of the Tajakembang indigenous community, for example, resource sharing practices and traditional knowledge can increase the community's adaptive capacity to climate change.
