Abstract :
This study aims to determine the strategy of
the Adang community's customary institutions in
maintaining and preserving regional culture, especially
the belis culture. This research uses descriptive
qualitative method. Data collection techniques using
interviews, observation, and documentation studies. The
research results show thatthe strategy of traditional
institutions in preserving belis cultural values is to
continue to carry out adat according to the procedures
or customs of the Adang people. Based on the data
obtained from the field and the analysis described above,
the values contained in the belis culture in the
implementation of traditional marriages are as follows:
Sahol Maeh sey Alepang (Knowing each other), Fang
Abul (Honesty), Ada aholhormat (Mutual Respect) , Uli
(Courtesy), Tenagel (Brotherhood), Tolerance, Bang Om
(Family), Sadel en (Responsibility), Tey ta ta (Gotong
Royong), Religious, Appreciate, Lamuil (Courage), keep
it well maintained. The strategy carried out by
traditional institutions so that the values contained in
belis are well maintained is carried out in 3 ways,
namely: simplifying by reducing the beneficiaries of belis
goods, simplifying by replacing the main belis with other
types of moko, simplifying with just two moko,
simplifying with just one moko. Meanwhile, the obstacles
faced by the traditional institutions of the Adang
community in implementing the strategy for preserving
belis culture are (1) the lack of understanding of the
community in interpreting the values contained in belis
culture and belis goods which are increasingly difficult
to obtain. (2) Lack of coordination between all interested
parties between the village government and customary
institutions. (3) the unpreparedness of the male family in
preparing belis goods. While the obstacles faced by the
traditional institutions of the Adang community in
