description This paper analyses the emerging role of mosque as a new public space for catalyzing environmental movement. Beyond the environmental initiatives spearheaded by governmental bodies, NGOs, environmental activists, and concerned communities, mosque situated along the banks of the Code River have emerged as a significant local institution actively engaged in fostering environmental consciousness and contributing to river restoration efforts. In addition to its traditional role in fostering religious devotion, the mosque is increasingly recognized for its capacity to enhance awareness of the surrounding environment. This research adopts a qualitative approach with a focus on a case study. Data collection was facilitated through in-depth interviews, observational methods, and documentation studies. Drawing upon McCarthy & Zald’s Resource Mobilization Theory (RMT), this study reveals that mosques have evolved into valuable resources for riverbank residents, serving as platforms to mobilize communities towards fostering environmental awareness. This mobilization is achieved through various activities including awareness campaigns, strategic planning, and the expansion of networks aimed at fostering environmental management.
