Abstract

Lima Puluh Kota is one of the areas of natural origin of the Minangkabau known as Luhak Nan Tigo. Luhak Nan Tigo consists of three luhak (regions) which are the heart area of Minangkabau, because that is where the development of the Minangkabau natural area originated. This certainly makes this area the cultural centre of the Minangkabau people, which has very thick cultural values. However, along with the times, this area became a developing area inhabited by various ethnic groups and religions. This of course results in this region having a fairly high heterogeneous population, ranging from ethnicity, religion, language and so on, with the heterogeneity of this diverse population adding to the attractiveness of researchers to examine in depth how social solidarity is formed in communities in the region. Luhak Lima Puluh Kota which is also the area of origin of the Minangkbau nature in dealing with the heterogeneity of the local population. This research is developmental research from previous studies using descriptive qualitative methods. The research informants were elements of regional leadership (wali nagari), youth elements, traditional leaders, religious leaders and ordinary residents. The data collection techniques used were observation, interview, and documentation study techniques. The results of the research found were that there were many community associations based on social solidarity, ranging from neighbourhood groups, traditional groups, to other arisan groups. Where in it there are various elements of the diversity of ethnicities, languages and customs. Cooperation is formed in every mutual cooperation activity manifested by this community, such as in carrying out religious celebrations, ceremonies for the birthday of a village, and other rituals. Every community contributes to these activities regardless of differences. In addition, the existence of a customary philosophy that is still strong and thick in the life of the Minangkabau people is able to strengthen solidarity among its citizens. However, if the immigrants come from other ethnic groups and religions, then each element of the community members must of course respect the existing customary order.
