This study examines the dynamics of the Galasi community in Cobodoe Village as a form of traditional organization based on mutual cooperation that has played an active role in shaping the social and economic order of the local community for more than five decades. Through a descriptive qualitative approach, this study explores how social capital values such as trust, participatory leadership, and collective responsibility are the main foundations of community sustainability. The results of the study show that community work practices, such as a division of labor system using a local tool called Duga, deliberation-based work time management, and leadership regeneration rooted in social legitimacy, are the main pillars of community sustainability. In addition to contributing to meeting economic needs through monthly and annual crop management, the Galasi community has also been proven to have a positive impact on social development, including increasing access to education for the younger generation. These findings indicate that local values-based development approaches and social solidarity are still very relevant in strengthening community resilience, especially in the midst of the flow of modern social change that is individualistic.
