This type of research is descriptive qualitative. The determination of informants was carried out deliberately on 10 people with criteria, 1) Javanese Ethnic Community, 2) Staying more than 5 years, 3) Already married, and 4) Community leaders both formal and informal. Data collection techniques are observation, interview and documentation. The data validation technique used is persistence of observation and data triangulation.

The results showed that the desire to get a better and decent life was a goal to be wished by the Javanese community in Tanete Rilau District. The process of integration of the Javanese community in the social life of the Bugis ethnic community is built through the fabric of hospitality culture in communication based on the values of politeness and politeness, cooperation, assimilation, and acculturation, which has also encouraged the building of social solidarity between the two ethnically and culturally different societies. The factors driving social integration show that there is a process of adaptation of Javanese people who are of different ethnicity and culture before the development of social integration with a Bugis-ethnic society.
