Abstract

ABSTRAK KONSTRUKSI IDENTITAS KEBERAGAMAAN PADA MASYARAKAT BUDDHA MULTI ETNIK DI DESA LEGUNDI KETAPANG KABUPATEN LAMPUNG SELATAN Oleh Edo Setiawan Penelitian ini membahas konstruksi identitas keberagamaan pada masyarakat Buddha multi etnik di Desa Legundi, Kecamatan Ketapang, Kabupaten Lampung Selatan. Latar belakang penelitian ini berangkat dari realitas sosial masyarakat yang hidup dalam keberagaman etnis dan agama, di mana identitas keberagamaan tidak terbentuk secara tunggal, melainkan melalui proses sosial, budaya, dan politik yang dinamis. Dalam konteks tersebut, identitas keberagamaan masyarakat Buddha tidak hanya dipengaruhi oleh ajaran agama Buddha itu sendiri, tetapi juga oleh tradisi etnis, interaksi sosial dengan kelompok agama lain, serta kondisi sosial-politik lokal. Penelitian ini menggunakan perspektif konstruktivisme sosial dan antropologi agama, khususnya teori fungsionalisme agama Émile Durkheim, untuk memahami proses pembentukan identitas keberagamaan dalam masyarakat plural. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode kualitatif dengan pendekatan penelitian lapangan (field research). Data diperoleh melalui observasi non-partisipan, wawancara semi-terstruktur dengan tokoh agama, tokoh masyarakat, dan umat Buddha, serta dokumentasi yang berkaitan dengan kehidupan sosial dan keagamaan masyarakat Desa Legundi. Analisis data dilakukan secara deskriptif kualitatif melalui tahapan reduksi data, penyajian data, dan penarikan kesimpulan, dengan tujuan menggambarkan secara mendalam proses konstruksi identitas keberagamaan serta faktor-faktor yang memengaruhinya. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa identitas keberagamaan masyarakat Buddha multi etnik di Desa Legundi dikonstruksi melalui interaksi antara ajaran agama Buddha dan budaya etnis yang beragam, seperti Jawa, Lampung, dan Sunda. Faktor sosial berupa hubungan harmonis dengan masyarakat mayoritas Muslim, faktor budaya berupa pelestarian tradisi etnis dalam praktik keagamaan, serta faktor politik berupa pengakuan sosial dan ruang kebebasan beragama berperan penting dalam pembentukan identitas tersebut. Simpulan penelitian ini menegaskan bahwa identitas keberagamaan masyarakat Buddha multi etnik bersifat dinamis, kontekstual, dan adaptif, serta menjadi fondasi penting dalam membangun toleransi dan kerukunan antarumat beragama di Desa Legundi. Kata Kunci: Konstruksi Identitas Keberagamaan, Multi Etnik, Interaksi Sosial. ABSTRACT CONSTRUCT OF RELIGIOUS IDENTITY IN A MULTIETHNIC BUDDHISM COMMUNITY IN LEGUNDI KETAPANG VILLAGE, SOUTH LAMPUNG DISTRICT By Edo Setiawan This study examines the construction of religious identity among a multi-ethnic Buddhist community in Legundi Village, Ketapang District, South Lampung Regency. The research is motivated by the social reality of a plural society in which religious identity is not formed as a fixed entity, but rather through dynamic social, cultural, and political processes. In this context, the religious identity of the Buddhist community is shaped not only by Buddhist teachings but also by ethnic traditions, social interactions with other religious groups, and local sociopolitical conditions. This study employs a social constructivist perspective and the anthropology of religion, particularly Émile Durkheim’s theory of religious functionalism, to analyze the formation of religious identity in a pluralistic society. This research uses a qualitative method with a field research approach. Data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews with religious leaders, community leaders, and Buddhist adherents, as well as documentation related to social and religious life in Legundi Village. Data analysis was conducted using descriptive qualitative techniques through data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing to comprehensively understand the process of religious identity construction and the influencing factors. The findings indicate that the religious identity of the multiethnic Buddhist community in Legundi Village is constructed through the interaction between Buddhist teachings and diverse ethnic cultures, such as Javanese, Lampungese, and Sundanese. Social factors in the form of harmonious relations with the Muslim majority, cultural factors through the preservation of ethnic traditions in religious practices, and political factors through social recognition and freedom of religious expression play significant roles in shaping this identity. The study concludes that the religious identity of the multi-ethnic Buddhist community is dynamic, contextual, and adaptive, serving as an important foundation for fostering tolerance and interreligious harmony in Legundi Village. Keywords: Religious Identity Construction, Multi Ethnic Society, Social Interaction.
