Abstract

This article investigated the irrigation sustainability and landslide prevention in the Sendi community, Mojokerto, East Java, by applying a cultural mapping approach to examine everyday practices through which local knowledge was enacted and produced, while linking the analysis to broader structural formations. The approach informed a participatory data collection process, that is also designed to protect the intangible cultural heritage of the community. The findings demonstrated how everyday practices function as an integral component of flood and landslide mitigation. This knowledge has been passed down through community archives since 1915 and included practices, such as planting local crops (bamboos and tree species like Gondang, Senokeling, Kenanga, and Mantin), recognizing natural signs (Ilmu-Titen), and developing seasonal adaptation strategies. These practices preserve cultural heritage while empowering communities by connecting them to the spatial and temporal dimensions of the environment.

Abstrak

Artikel ini mengkaji keberlanjutan irigasi serta mitigasi banjir dan longsor di komunitas Sendi, Mojokerto, Jawa Timur, melalui penerapan pendekatan pemetaan budaya untuk menganalisis praktik keseharian di mana pengetahuan lokal diproduksi dan dijalankan, sekaligus mengaitkannya dengan formasi struktural yang lebih luas. Pendekatan ini mendukung proses pengumpulan data partisipatif yang juga berfungsi untuk melindungi warisan budaya takbenda komunitas. Temuan penelitian menunjukkan bahwa praktik keseharian, seperti penanaman bambu dan berbagai spesies pohon (Gondang, Senokeling, Kenanga, dan Manting), berfungsi sebagai komponen penting dalam mitigasi banjir dan longsor. Pengetahuan ini diwariskan melalui arsip komunitas sejak tahun 1915 dan mencakup praktik budidaya tanaman lokal, pengenalan tanda-tanda alam (Ilmu Titen), serta pengembangan strategi adaptasi musiman. Secara keseluruhan, praktik-praktik tersebut tidak hanya berperan dalam pelestarian warisan budaya, tetapi juga memperkuat kapasitas komunitas dalam menghadapi risiko lingkungan melalui keterhubungan antara dimensi spasial dan temporal dalam kehidupan sehari-hari.
