Abstract

The growing interest in religious tourism, particularly in Muslim-majority countries, underscores the need for sustainable development approaches that align with Islamic values. This study explores how sustainable architecture can revitalize religious tourism sites while supporting energy management strategies guided by the principles of Maqasid Shariah. A structural equation modelling (SEM) approach was employed to examine the relationships among Islamic beliefs, visiting behaviour, energy awareness, and support for sustainable design. Data collected from 350 Muslim visitors in Indonesia indicate that Islamic religiosity significantly influences energy-conscious behaviour. Practically, this research provides a strategic framework for urban planners to utilize religious commitment as a driver for environmental policy. By framing energy management as a religious duty (khalifah), local authorities can increase public support for green architectural mandates. Policy-wise, these findings advocate for integrating spiritual-environmental indicators into the planning guidelines for religious tourism zones to ensure both ecological preservation and enhanced spiritual experiences
