Abstract

Jakarta as the center of government and economy of Indonesia is a multicultural city, which was formed by the combination of various ethnic groups who inhabited the Jakarta area. Hence, Betawi ethnicity which is known as the original inhabitants of the city of Jakarta, is actually an ethnic group formed from the acculturation process of various ethnic groups in Indonesia and outside Indonesia. One aspect that stands out in Betawian culture is the influence of Islamic religious culture which was spread by ethnic Arabs. However, along with the times, the cultural forms of the Betawi tradition are thought to have changed from their initial form. One of them is the Palang Pintu tradition, which was originally part of a traditional Betawi wedding ceremony and is very strong with Islamic values, now it can be presented for building inauguration events or investiture ceremonies. There has been a transformation in the function and practice of the Palang Pintu tradition in modern times in Jakarta.

This research refers to the theory of cultural commodification to explain how the Palang Pintu tradition has now become a cultural commodity through sanggar budaya activities, as well as using qualitative methods and field research that focuses on Sanggar Gaya Bang Bens and its activities in the Rawa Belong area. Field research and interviews show that the development of sanggar and foundations is an effort to preserve and develop Betawi culture. In addition, modifications were also made to the Palang Pintu tradition to make it a livelihood for the Betawi people in Rawa Belong. Lenong and Pantun (poem) elements are very important supporting aspects in the preservation of the Palang Pintu tradition, so this tradition is constantly being attractive and gaining popularity among modern society.
