Abstract

Arisan has become part of Indonesian society which not only functions as an economic activity, but also as a form of strengthening social capital, especially among housewives. In the context of social capital, social gatherings bring together individuals in a close social sphere, strengthening networks of trust, mutual help and solidarity. This research aims to examine the role of social gatherings as a means of social capital formation and economic resilience for housewives in times of crisis, especially in the Pinus Regency, Cinambo District, Bandung City. Using the qualitative approach of the case study method, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation and documentation. The research results show that social gatherings not only function as an informal financial mechanism, but also as a space for social interaction that strengthens social networks, trust between members, and solidarity. These three elements form social capital which has a direct impact on the economic resilience of social gathering participants' families, especially in facing post-pandemic economic pressures. This research concludes that social gatherings play a strategic role in strengthening social networks and household economic survival capacity in times of crisis.
