Social norms and legal norms are expected to accompany the current development in the pattern of community relations. Social action theory was used to analyse the social behavior of the community with its attention on goal-oriented action and the motivation of the subject. Systems theory was used to analyse that life was a system, both in the context of micro (microcosm/ human) and macro (macrocosm/ the universe). Qualitative methods were used to reveal and understand something behind the phenomenon that occured. Social behavior of the community was held on the activities of Banjar Adat with Hindu community activities conducted by social interaction in the form of mutual assistance and cooperation which was also influenced by the rules imposed such as customary rules that people often knew with the name Awig-Awig to maintain the balance of human life both among human beings, between society and with natural environment. Every social behaviour of community members affected the social interaction of Banjar Adat.
