RISK MANAGEMENT AND SUSTAINABILITY OF ISLAMIC BOARDING SCHOOLS: ANALYSIS OF EXTERNAL THREATS AND MITIGATION STRATEGIES IN A GLOBAL CONTEXT

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the external threats faced by Islamic boarding schools and formulate sustainable mitigation strategies through a risk management approach in a global context. The research method used a qualitative approach with a case study conducted at the Mukhtar Syafaat Islamic Boarding School in Blokagung, Banyuwangi. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, documentation, and audio analysis, then analyzed using Miles & Huberman's interactive model, which includes reduction, presentation, and conclusion drawing. Data validity was ensured through triangulation of sources, methods, and observers. The results of the study show that Islamic boarding schools face challenges in the form of national and international regulations, economic dependence on limited resources, and technological disruption. However, mitigation strategies based on Islamic values and collaboration with the government, the business world, and educational institutions are able to strengthen the resilience and sustainability of Islamic boarding schools. The contribution of this research is to offer an integrative, applicable value-based risk management model, while also providing practical recommendations for the development of Islamic education policies to be more adaptive and visionary.
