Abstract

Infrastructure development is often positioned as a symbol of urban progress, but in practice, it often creates inequality of access and mobility, especially for marginalized groups. This research aims to examine how infrastructure is produced, interpreted, and contested in the daily lives of suburban urban communities in Makassar. With a critical ethnography approach, data was collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and field documentation, and then analyzed using the theory of spatial production (Lefebvre), dispossession (Harvey), habitus and social capital (Bourdieu), and Actor-Network Theory (Latour). The results of the study show that infrastructure in Makassar is not neutral, but rather an exclusive space that strengthens social inequality. Societies exhibit various forms of symbolic resistance—from replenishment of empty spaces to cultural adaptation to new systems. These findings show that space is a field of contention that continues to be produced and negotiated. This research emphasizes the importance of building inclusive and participatory infrastructure, by making citizens not just development objects, but active actors in the formation of urban space.

Abstract

This study aims to explore how migrant communities construct, sustain, and negotiate social structures in urban environments. Using a community ethnography approach, the research is grounded in Anthony Giddens' structuration theory and Pierre Bourdieu’s concept of socio-cultural capital. The research was conducted in Tamalate District, Makassar, involving participatory observation and in-depth interviews with 15 key informants. Findings reveal that social structures within migrant communities emerge from routinized daily practices such as communal gatherings, religious study groups, and collective neighborhood maintenance. Socio-cultural capital—manifested in networks, trust, and shared values—significantly influences individuals’ positions and roles in the community. Moreover, the younger generation is actively involved in shaping new socio-cultural spaces through digital adaptation and small-scale entrepreneurship. Migrant communities also employ symbolic strategies to navigate external challenges without engaging in open conflict, which reflects a form of silent resistance and social negotiation. This study highlights the remarkable adaptability and resilience of migrant communities in urban settings. Rather than being passive subjects of displacement, these communities actively reproduce and transform their social world, contributing to a dynamic and empowered urban life. The findings offer valuable insights into the interplay between migration, identity formation, and urban inclusivity, emphasizing the importance of culturally sensitive approaches in urban development policies
