Kerjasama dalam Rangkaian Acara Adat Baralek Pada Masyarakat Minangkabau di Nagari Sicincin, Kecamatan 2x11 Enam Lingkung, Kabupaten Padang Pariaman

Abstract

The implementation of the baralek event carried out by the Minangkabau ethnic community is strongly influenced by traditional rules. The organizers need a lot of help to comply with the customary rules. The implementation of cooperation in the baralek traditional event in the Minangkabau community in Nagari Sicincin involves several parties with their respective roles and functions. However, today's culture of cooperation has experienced many changes in its forms and practices. This is caused by modernization, thereby encouraging society to adapt to developments over time. Existing cultures or customs have undergone many changes and updates. The research was conducted using qualitative research methods with an ethnographic approach. Data collection in this research was carried out by conducting direct observations of collaborative activities at the Baralek event and conducting interviews with the organizers and several relatives involved. Apart from that, documentation was also created to complement the data obtained. The results of this research show that there are several forms of cooperation carried out by the community in Nagari Sicincin during the stages of the baralek traditional event. Many of the collaborative activities are carried out by members of the extended family and relatives of the same tribe who live in the same neighborhood as the organizers. The flow of modernization has given rise to innovations in people completing work, namely by using paid services to help with some of the work in the kitchen, such as cooking and washing utensils. The traditional baralek event carried out by the Minangkabau community in Nagari Sicincin involves a lot of the role of the family in carrying out cooperative activities. The form of cooperation carried out by the family during the Baralek traditional event assists in the form of energy, thoughts, equipment, and money. This makes the cooperation carried out by the people of Nagari Sicincin a form of cooperation. The presence of service providers to help with work during the Baralek traditional event does not change the tradition of community cooperation but rather becomes an innovation in saving energy and time.
