SANTRI DAN KONSERVASI LINGKUNGAN (Studi Pandangan Hidup Santri di Kawasan Pegunungan Dieng)

Abstract

Environmental issues are receiving great attention from almost all countries in the
world. But unfortunately until now the rate of environmental damage is still
ongoing which resulted in frequent occurrence of natural disasters. Especially in
the Dieng mountains in the last few decades there are frequent landslides and
floods. Environmental damage occurs due to the exploration of natural resources
to meet the needs of human beings without regard to environmental sustainability.
The utilization of the environment without regard to environmental sustainability
leads to more exploitation that leads to environmental crises and disadvantages the
community.
In the midst of incessant environmental problems that are increasingly
uncooperative with human beings emerged a caring attitude and interesting
response that emerged from the santri. Conservation efforts by cultivating
cultivation from potato plant to carica plant begins by some farmers who
notabenenya is dropout pesantren (santri). The concern of santri on the
environment becomes an interesting phenomenon to be studied. Because in
various parts of the world emerge a series of issues of religious fundamentalism,
precisely dieng Dieng Islam comes with a completely different face, they are more
responsive and enthusiastic to be active in environmental control efforts.
Departure from the phenomenon then there are two problems that want to answer
researchers that is how the process of environmental conservation in the mountain
area Dieng? and How the view of life santri Dieng mountainous area that
encourages the conservation of agricultural land? This research uses
phenomenology approach to reveal the view of life of santri in Dieng mountains.
The result of this research reveals the life view which is used as the foundation by
the santri is hablum minal 'nature so the conservation of the environment is a
manifestation of their love to nature, both hubbul Waton minal their faith sees that
love the homeland part of the faith they manifest by doing environmental
Conservation. Third, their awareness as khalifatullah fil ard. Thus, the
conservation efforts undertaken by the santri depart from their sense of
responsibility as the Caliph on earth.
