This study aims to examine the meaning and practice of the value of soméah hadé ka sémah as a form of cultural sensitivity among the traditional community of Cikondang Village in Bandung Regency, West Java, toward outsiders. Using a qualitative descriptive approach, data was collected through in-depth interviews and participatory observation with traditional leaders and local residents.
