Abstract

This research focused on a cultural adaptation of Indonesia-Timor Leste border communities to the modernization of bureaucracy and infrastructure. The direct observation method was used by applying in-depth interview technique using the cultural adaptation strategy theory by Kaplan. The modernization of bureaucracy and the development of infrastructure and facilities in Indonesian border have an impact on how the way people respond and adapt to the new environment. Indigenous people combine both active and passive adaptations. They have contribution by inserting traditional values into border management. They change the administrative behavior in the state borders from traditional administrations into international standard bureaucracy and governance
