Transformasi Bentuk dan Fungsi Keluarga di Desa Mekarwangi

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the transformation or change in the shape and function of the family in Mekarwangi Village. The background of this research is the occurrence of temporary transfer or mobility on the grounds of seeking knowledge or working elsewhere far from the village. The research method used is a qualitative method with data collection techniques using observation and interviews. The analysis uses structural functional theory and symbolic interaction theory. His findings show that the shape and function of the family undergoes a change but is not permanent. The conclusion of this study shows that there is a change in the form and function of the family in the Mekarwangi Village community due to the temporary transfer or mobility of family members, but the changes are temporary or not permanent due to the strong ties of kinship in the nuclear family and extended family. The structure of the family may change but the function of the family does not change because even though they do not live in the same place, the function of love, education, religious and economic functions can still be carried out with long-distance interactions using communication tools which are now easy and fast
