Abstract

There are many areas which coverage of death data recording is still below the predicted mortality rate in the region. Death data recording in the Bumiayu region exceeds the predicted mortality rate in the region. In the pre-study there were indications of a link between the social system and the bureaucracy in the work of data collection. This study aims to analyze the social system that develops in the Bumiayu community if there is a death of a family member, explaining the integration of the social system and the bureaucratic system in the work of collecting death data, and analyzing hegemony relations that develop in the recording of death data. A qualitative approach with ethnographic strategy was used in this study. The hegemony relationship that developed started from the idea of recording death data into an ideology, an active commitment, until an equilibrium was formed between the governing and governed parties making it easy for the activities to run. Implementation of death data recording needs to understand and apply the local social system through approach of Gramsci’s theory of hegemony.
