Identity, Ruwah Village, Local Wisdom, Young Generation, ModernizationAbstract
The Ruwah Desa tradition in Mojoruntut Village, Krembung District, Sidoarjo Regency represents enduring local wisdom amid globalization and modernization. More than an ancestral ritual, it serves as a space for negotiating cultural identity, strengthening social solidarity, fostering mutual cooperation, and maintaining spiritual ties with the environment. This study examines how identity negotiation is practiced within Ruwah Desa and how the community interprets the tradition in a modern context. Using a descriptive qualitative method with a phenomenological approach, data were collected through interviews, observations, and documentation involving five key informants from the community. The findings indicate that identity negotiation occurs through individual participation in rituals, collective efforts to preserve tradition, reinterpretation by younger generations, and adaptation to modernity through social media. Overall, Ruwah Desa remains dynamic and adaptive, sustaining local wisdom while reinforcing the cultural identity of the Mojoruntut community.
