Abstract

The problem in this research is why there is resistance given by the isolated tribe in the implementation of the resettlement program implemented by the Ministry of Social Affair. The purposes of this study are to describe and to analyze the process of cultural resistance in the implementation of resettlement program for the isolated tribe. Research was conducting in the isolated tribe at Ulubongka sub district of Tojo Una-Una district of Central Sulawesi, and the research focuses on the implementation of resettlement program. The method used in this research is qualitative research method by using ethnography approach. The result of the study showed that the implementation of the resettlement program for the isolated community in Ulubongka sub district does not pay attention to the cultural value system which is applicable to the remote village. By the program implementer, the isolated populations are treated equally with other rural communities who have understood the modern housing system. A consequence of all that, the isolated communities cannot adapt in new environments, while culturally, they are still very devout and loyal to the chief. Thus, the whole of his group follows what the instructions and the actions of the head. This paper concludes that the implementation of resettlement program for isolated tribes in Ulubongka sub district was not successful because the application did not pay attention to the culture of the community.
