Abstract

In this article, researchers examine the solidarity that grows in local wisdom in the lombok community. The community recognizes the betetulak tradition as a form of concept or tool to strengthen the solidarity of the pengadangan village community. Betetulak culture in lombok is one of the cultures that aims to strengthen solidarity between communities where betetulak comes from three syllables "be" meaning ayok, "te" meaning a group and "tulak" meaning back. Betetulak is a tradition of gratitude for the sustenance given by god as well as a tool for reflection or remembering that without god we cannot do anything. This paper explains how the batetulak tradition plays a role in increasing the solidarity of the pengadangan village community in east lombok. It is a well-known fact that the more differences there are, the more conflict is prone to occur. This is what we are interested in discussing in this article, namely how the batetulak tradition acts as a community unifier to prevent conflict from occurring.
