Abstract

The study of toponymy provides insights into human life, the natural environment, and the relationship between the two. The applications of toponymy studies are numerous and diverse, encompassing contexts as diverse as ecology and history, as well as disaster mitigation. In addition, the results of toponymic studies can be used to identify the various strategies that societies have developed to cope with challenges, including the spread of ecological awareness. The aim of these studies is to obtain information on the resilience of Muria communities in the context of various crises, especially those related to their environment and climate change. Considering the above, this study utilizes an ethnopedological approach in archaeological-historical research with the aim of gaining insight into the enduring ecological consciousness of the Muria community. Through the ethnopedological approach, it can be seen that the ecological awareness of the Muria people is represented in several village names whose meanings are closely related to the morphology and environmental conditions of the Muria Strait area, such as tanjung, karang, banyu, tlogo, sumber, jati, wono, undaan, and other toponyms. Toponymic data on villages along the former Muria Strait is expected to contribute to a broader understanding and become a valuable component of a knowledge system that can inform crisis management strategies, particularly those currently affecting Muria communities.
