Abstract

This research seeks to explore the Pamali culture (taboo) in indigenous peoples in Kampung Pulo, Garut, West Java as an internal control practice. Phenomenomology is used as a research method with traditional leaders (Pakuncen) and members of indigenous peoples as informants. This research found that there are five Pamali (Beating gongs is prohibited; Prohibited from making a prism-shaped roof; Four-legged animals are prohibited; Pilgrimage is prohibited on Wednesday; It is prohibited to add or subtract basic buildings) as internal control and life philosophy (simplicity, togetherness, loving nature, spirituality, and honesty). The informants applied five Pamali in their daily activities. Pakuncen always reminded the importance of complience to pamali. Fellow members of the community always remind each other. Regular meetings between members of indigenous peoples as a place to remind one another and solve problems. Pamali complience has an impact on the sustainability of indigenous peoples in Kampung Pulo.
