Abstract

This study examines Balinese migration to South Lampung from the colonial period through the New Order era, as well as its impact on the formation of cultural identity and socio-religious relations with the local Muslim community. The main issue raised is how state-driven migration policies engineered demographic transformations, created cultural enclaves, and influenced the dynamics of life in multicultural areas. Using a qualitative-historical approach based on a literature review, this research analyzes three theoretical frameworks: Henri Lefebvre's production of social space, Stuart Hall's concept of diaspora identity, and Max Weber's sociology of religion. The results show that Balinese migration is a state-engineered social space project (conceived space), which has led to the creation of Hindu-Balinese enclaves alongside Muslim villages in Lampung, thus establishing symbolic boundaries within a shared social space. In this context, the Balinese community maintains its dual identity, preserving its cultural and religious traditions (being), while also adapting to Lampung Islamic culture (becoming). Meanwhile, Weber's concept of religious ethics reveals a dual role: promoting economic cooperation and integration, yet also serving as a source of segregation and conflict when structural problems like economic and land inequality arise. The 2012 Balinuraga incident was the culmination of this accumulated tension. This study concludes that the interaction of space, identity, and religious ethics explains the patterns of integration and conflict in South Lampung. Theoretically, these findings extend the application of Lefebvre, Hall, and Weber's theories within the Indonesian context, while also emphasizing the practical importance of resource equity and interfaith dialogue in maintaining harmony in a multicultural society.

Abstract

This study examines the Sekura tradition of the Saibatin community in West Lampung as a dynamic form of local genius, which has undergone a transformation from a pre-Islamic animist ritual into a contemporary socio-religious festival. This study employs a descriptive-analytical qualitative method with a social history approach and cultural analysis based on literature review, focusing on the cultural context of the Saibatin community in the West Lampung region, particularly in Liwa and Krui. The findings reveal that Sekura demonstrates cultural resilience in preserving core values such as Piil Pesenggiri and social solidarity, while simultaneously adapting through processes of Islamic acculturation, tourism commodification, and digital mediation. This transformation also indicates a shift in the authority of meaning from traditional structures toward a more open digital public sphere, which implies the potential for a reduction in the philosophical significance of the tradition. Therefore, this study proposes preservation strategies based on epistemic integration through cultural education, the regeneration of traditional leadership, and models of digital curation and creation that encourage collaboration between traditional stakeholders and the younger generation. This study contributes to understanding the dynamics of resilience and local cultural transformation amidst the currents of globalization and digitalization.
