Abstract

This article discusses social capital owned by indigenous village communities in the process of maintaining social harmonization, especially in religious life. The research is conducted in the Tenggerese community, Tosari District, Pasuruan Regency, East Java. The research aims to identify the inter-religious harmony process that occurs in the Tenggerese indigenous community; and looking for social capital relations of the indigenous people in the process of social harmonization. The method used in this study is a qualitative method and a case study approach. Data sources are obtained through in-depth interview, participatory observation, focus group discussion, and literature study. Just like other villagers, the Tenggerese indigenous community also experiences social change and transformation. The changes occur due to the unstoppable flow of modernization and the occurrence of migration which results in people becoming increasingly heterogeneous. Existing diversity brings about a challenge in the development of indigenous people. The social capital of the Tenggerese community is in the form of trust, obligation, hope, norm and sanction, as well as information is able to be a foundation for the Tenggerese community to achieve social harmony in the midst of the diverse cultures they have. Existing social capital is driven by local leadership or traditional leaders called "dukun". Dukun in the Tenggerese indigenous community has a dual role as a customary leader as well as a religious leader or in other words besides leading the community, dukun also leads the community.
