Abstract

This research explores the Merti Tirta tradition in Ponggok Village, Klaten Regency, as a form of local wisdom in environmental conservation, examined through the lens of Islamic eco-theology according to Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Merti Tirta is an annual ritual centered on the preservation of natural springs, which are regarded by the local community as sources of blessing and life. In the context of today’s ecological crisis, this tradition becomes significant as a cultural practice embedded with spiritual and ecological values. The study addresses two main questions: first, how the Merti Tirta tradition contributes to environmental preservation in Ponggok Village; and second, how the tradition can be interpreted through the eco-theological perspective of Seyyed Hossein Nasr. The aim is to understand the role of local traditions in sustaining nature and to explore the relationship between God, humans, and nature within a spiritual Islamic framework. This study employs a qualitative descriptive method, using data collected through interviews, observation, and documentation. The analysis applies Nasr’s ecotheological approach, which emphasizes the sacredness of nature and the human responsibility as khalīfah (steward) on Earth. The findings reveal that Merti Tirta functions not only as a cultural ritual but also as an expression of reverence for nature, perceived as sacred. Religious, social, and ecological values are interwoven in the tradition, reflecting an Islamic cosmological view as emphasized by Seyyed Hossein Nasr. Through this tradition, the community demonstrates a profound spiritual awareness of nature as God’s creation that must be protected and preserved.
