Abstract

This study aims to explore the opportunities and challenges presented by globalization in relation to local cultural identity in Merauke, focusing on various aspects such as the influence of mass media and technology, as well as changes in the lifestyles and values of indigenous communities. The research addresses an urgent need to understand how indigenous peoples navigate the pressures of globalization while striving to preserve their cultural richness and uniqueness. Merauke, as a region deeply embedded in local wisdom, faces significant globalization impacts, making it a compelling case study. This qualitative research employs a library research method to gather data, primarily through the examination of documents and scholarly articles related to globalization and its effects on local identity in Merauke Regency. Data analysis was conducted using the interactive model developed by Miles and Huberman. The findings reveal that globalization has a profound influence on local cultural identity in Merauke Regency. While some positive effects were noted, such as improved access to technology and information, the negative impacts—particularly those threatening the sustainability of local cultural traditions—are more pronounced.
