Abstract

The aim of this study to reveal the application of Emily Durkheim’s theory in solidarity through ‘Mapalus’; a Minahasan Culture; in North Sulawesi; Indonesia. In conducting this study; the cultural and sociological approaches are applied to see ‘mapalus’ as a Minahasan culture and social facts occurred in the community of ‘Mapalus’.‘Mapalus’ is an activity formed; created and done by a certain group of people in a certain place of living; in this case; Minahasan people; for the same interest. They do it together to reach the same goals. To have a fair agreement this activity is done with some rules that must be obeyed by the members. Thus; those rules push the members to do the activity. Since this is a social activity so it has become a social fact as its consequences. The phenomenon found in ‘mapalus’ shows the embodiment of Durkheim’s theory of mechanical solidarity.
