Kajian Pewarisan Budaya Jawa di Tiga Kelompok Generasi pada Masyarakat Kelurahan Srondol Wetan, Kota Semarang

Abstrak

Javanese cultural inheritance is vital for maintaining identity amid social change. This study describes patterns of cultural inheritance across three generations (Baby Boomers, Generation X, and Millennials) and the related challenges in Srondol Wetan Village. Using a descriptive, qualitative approach grounded in Berger and Luckmann's social construction theory, the research comprises observation, interviews, and documentation. Results indicate the inherited values across generations focus on etiquette, politeness, hapasor, and respect for elders, though each generation internalizes these differently. Baby Boomers rely on strong social habits and control; Generation X relies on role modeling and environmental influences; Millennials emphasize contextual practice and rationalization in everyday life. The inheritance pattern has shifted from an authoritative to an adaptive and participatory one. Challenges include declining use of the Javanese language, diminishing family roles, and the influence of globalization and technology, all of which affect cultural preservation.
