How does the Integration Process of Tionghoa and Javanese Ethnics in Malang City, Indonesia?
Abstract
This study aims to describe the factors that support the integration of Chinese and Javanese ethnic communities, express Javanese ethnic understanding, attitudes and behavior to Chinese ethnic groups and vice versa, and explain the beliefs, mutual understanding, and shared values between Javanese and Chinese ethnic groups. This research was conducted in Malang City, East Java, Indonesia with a qualitative approach. The research subjects were determined purposively. The data collection method is done by observation, interview, and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). This study revealed that the factors that support the integration of the ethnic communities are tolerance, mutual respect for each other's culture, structural, and marriage. Javanese ethnic understanding of the ethnic Chinese is strongly influenced by the history of the entry of Chinese in Indonesia. The shared trust and values between the two ethnic groups are inseparable from the change between values and policies regarding the increasingly tolerant and rational relations of the nation's children. This is also inseparable from the increasing mutual trust between the two parties, the emergence of cooperation in various fields of life that has a positive impact on both parties and for the future of the Indonesian State. The limitation of this study is that the findings of this study do not explain the Indonesian government's policy on tolerance between ethnicities, which is very important to know the comparison of ethnic Chinese and Javanese adherence to state regulations and to the socio-cultural values formed in people's lives.
