Mengenal Desa Tunas Jaya, Kecamatan Popayato Barat, Kabupaten Pohuwato: Sejarah, Budaya dan Masyarakat

Abstract

This research aims to understand the socio-cultural dynamics of the Javanese transmigrant community in Tunas Jaya Village, Gorontalo. Through interviews, observations, and documentation methods, this study found that the integration process between the Javanese and Gorontalo communities has taken place naturally and peacefully. However, there are still several problems that need attention, such as the lack of local historical documentation and the decline in understanding of Javanese culture among the younger generation. This research also found harmonious forms of cultural acculturation between the Javanese and Gorontalo peoples, such as in the implementation of the tradition of salvation, marriage, and mutual cooperation. The results of this research are expected to be a reference for the development of cultural preservation and social development programs in transmigrant areas.
