The results of the literature review identify complex patterns of social transformation involving changes in cultural values, social structures, and interactions between the indigenous population and migrants. Social integration, challenges, and opportunities are identified through an understanding of the dynamics of intergroup relationships. This research also compares literature findings on social transformation due to migration in the Maluku Island with similar research in other regions, enriching cross-regional understanding of migration impacts. Through the literature review approach, this research provides a comprehensive foundation for understanding social transformation in the Maluku Island and contributes to academic literature related to external migration. The implications of the research findings are expected to support the development of more effective policies and strategies in managing social dynamics in the city of Ambon.
