| dc.description.abstract | This study aims to describe the level of national identity in the keris community in
Indonesia. The background of this research is based on the urgency of preserving
local culture as an integral part of the nation's identity. This study used a
descriptive quantitative approach involving 105 participants from various keris
communities in Indonesia. The instrument used was the National Identity Scale
which consists of three main aspects, namely national pride, exclusive national
belonging, and national devotion. The results showed that 95% of respondents had
a high level of national identity, with a high proportion of scores on all aspects:
99% for national pride, 96% for exclusive national belonging, and 92% for national
devotion. This finding indicates that individuals who are members of the keris
community tend to have a strong attachment to national identity. This is reinforced
by the high scores on the three aspects of national identity that were measured. In
addition, the majority of respondents who were of Javanese origin and Muslim also
showed high levels of national identity, suggesting a link between cultural and
religious backgrounds and the strengthening of national identity in the context of
traditional cultural preservation. | en_US |
