Javanese Cultural Practices Maintained in The Area of Transmigration Destination (Study on the Practice of Festivity in a Person's Life Circle in Takisung District, Tanah Laut Regency)

摘要

The transmigration program as part of the internal migration in Indonesia not only moves the population from the origin to the destination, but transmigration also displaces the inherent culture of the transferee through the transmigration program. This study aims to investigate the practices of Javanese culture related to Selamatan (communal feast accompanied with religious activities) in a person's life cycle which is still maintained at the transmigration site. Through qualitative survey method, the results of this study indicate that the Javanese tradition related to the salvation in a person's life cycle is still implemented in the transmigration destination areas, especially in the District of Takisung, Tanah Laut Regency.
