<![CDATA[This study aims to analyze the social functions of the Yasinan tradition and the use of incense in the lives of the people of Jorong Sariawan Laweh. The Yasinan tradition is a form of religious activity that is still practiced by the community. It is not only related to religious worship but also plays an important role in building and strengthening social relationships within the community. The use of incense in this tradition has become part of a customary practice passed down from generation to generation and carries particular meanings for the people who practice it. This study employs a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. The data were collected through observation, interviews with community leaders, religious figures, and community members who participate in the Yasinan tradition, as well as documentation. Data analysis was conducted through the stages of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results are expected to show that the Yasinan tradition serves important social functions, including strengthening relationships among community members, increasing solidarity, fostering a sense of togetherness, and providing a means for mutual assistance and social interaction. Meanwhile, the use of incense in the Yasinan tradition is not merely regarded as a customary practice but is also associated with the community's interpretation of a tradition inherited from previous generations. The existence of the Yasinan tradition and the use of incense demonstrate the relationship between religious values, cultural practices, and the social life of the people of Jorong Sariawan Laweh. This study is expected to provide an understanding of the existence of local traditions and their social functions in maintaining social relationships and community solidarity.]]>
