- Abstract
The complexity of the contemporary era requires society to adapt to various changes and demands of the times, including coastal Muslim communities. The development of technological devices and the massive flow of information have also placed coastal Muslim communities as part of global society. This has a practical impact on the identity construction process and various community activities. This study focuses on the forms of adaptation and negotiation of coastal Muslim communities in Sayung District, Demak Regency in responding to changes in the contemporary era. The geographical and topographical location of the Sayung coastal area has left a latent problem for the community, namely prolonged tidal flooding. This is a special condition that must be addressed by coastal Muslim communities to survive, bearing in mind that prolonged tidal floods often have the potential to marginalize coastal Muslim communities. Qualitative research methods with a descriptive narrative approach are used to examine the experiences and meanings of society. In this context, the theory of social capital is used to portray the self-actualization of coastal Muslim communities through the trust that is built between individuals, the construction of social norms and efforts to build networks with other stakeholders. There are three main findings in this study, the first is the socio-cultural-religious historical value which becomes the philosophy of life and binds the social relations of coastal Muslim communities. The second relates to the process of constructing social norms which represent the process of adaptation of coastal Muslim communities in responding to various social changes. The third refers to various community efforts in building relationships with elements of government and religious leaders, especially in formulating policy formulations as an effort to find problem solving for problems that arise in people’s daily lives.
