Theocentric and Ecocentric Perspectives on Sharia Traffic Enforcement in Central Lombok as a Tool for Legal Education
Keywords:
Theocentric;, Ecocentric;, Sharia Traffic; , Legal EducationAbstract
Traffic law enforcement in Central Lombok faces serious challenges related to low public awareness of safe, orderly, and environmentally friendly traffic. This requires a new approach that is not only repressive but also educational, based on religious values and sustainability. This study aims to analyse the application of theocentric and ecocentric perspectives in the enforcement of Sharia traffic laws as an instrument of legal education. The research method used is qualitative with a socio-legal approach, through in-depth interviews, field observations, and document studies on the practice of Sharia traffic fines in Central Lombok. The research findings indicate that the integration of theocentric values can foster religious awareness, morality, and divine responsibility in traffic behaviour, thereby enabling traffic fines to function as an educational legal training tool. Meanwhile, the eco-centric approach, through environmentally friendly indicators, has proven to encourage drivers to be more mindful of socio-ecological aspects, thereby strengthening the sustainability of both the law and the environment. Thus, the combination of theosentric and eco-centric approaches makes the enforcement of Sharia traffic law not only about maintaining order but also about educating and building a sustainable legal culture.
