Abstract

Meeting between two cultures and interacting with each other certainly requires adaptation, the adaptation that is carried out does not easily happen just like that, Jayapura City as one of the eastern regions of Indonesia which is inhabited not only by ethnic Papuans but also ethnic Bugis who are the second most ethnic group in Jayapura City, problems that occur in jayapura city are one of the obstacles in adapting. This study aims to analyze the obstacles faced by the Bugis and Ethnic Papuan communities in their Adaptation process in the city of Jayapura. To achieve this goal, a descriptive qualitative approach with the type of phenomenological research was chosen. The technique of digging for information uses in-depth interviews with the Bugis ethnic and ethnic Papuan communities. The results of this study show that the adaptation process carried out by the Bugis ethnicity and the Papuan ethnic group has obstacles in the process, language is an obstacle that is deeply felt in the adaptation process, language that is often a misunderstanding of the meaning that is interpreted differently so as to make it an obstacle in the adaptation process. Therefore, interactions often occur misunderstandings in their interpretations, there is a compensation pattern that tends to maintain distance and choose to separate from other individuals, environmental factors also affect the cause of Jayapura City as a city that still often has problems, causing fear or distrust in the place. The advice given to the community in Jayapura City from this study is expected to be able to understand each other’s cultural differences and of course be able to establish a harmonious relationship between the two cultures and minimize existing obstacles.
