ABSTRACT
This study examines various Islamic approaches to supporting sustainable development by analysing local traditions in Indonesia, using a literature review as the primary research method. The research aims to identify the most effective approaches, understand how these approaches address fundamental issues related to local traditions, and highlight best practices from the analysed studies. The focus aligns with contributions to the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 11 (Sustainable Cities and Communities) and SDG 16 (Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions). The findings reveal that interdisciplinary approaches are the most frequently employed in studying Islam and local traditions, as demonstrated in traditions such as Tepuk Tepung Tawar and Patuntung in Ammatoa Kajang. These approaches effectively preserve local traditions while reinforcing Islamic values. Best practices include conducting in-depth contextual analyses and fostering collaboration among multiple stakeholders to ensure meaningful outcomes. The study recommends that policymakers adopt holistic, community-based, and collaborative strategies to support sustainable development. Future research is encouraged to incorporate interdisciplinary and transdisciplinary approaches in studying Islam and local traditions to enhance the effectiveness of development initiatives and policy implementation.
