Abstract

Social transformation driven by modernization and globalization poses challenges to the sustainability of traditional communities’ cultural systems. This study aims to analyze the adaptation strategies and socio-cultural resilience of the Mapur indigenous community in Bangka Regency in responding to social change. The research employs a qualitative approach with a case study design, involving 8 informants selected through purposive sampling, including traditional leaders, community members, youth, and local officials. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. The results show that the community adopts modern elements selectively without abandoning local values and strengthens customary institutions as a form of resilience. This study contributes to the development of sociological perspectives on cultural resilience and supports policy formulation based on local wisdom.
