Abstract

This study aims to describe the development of multicultural communication patterns based on local wisdom in Ampenan City, West Nusa Tenggara (NTB). The efforts of the local government to integrate into harmony in Ampenan City, NTB, received a positive response from various parties as it could inspire other multicultural cities in harmonizing communication between people of different cultures. To achieve the goal, the study used a qualitative approach with a case study design. The benefit of the research is that it wants to make a practical contribution, namely discovering a model for developing multicultural communication patterns based on local wisdom in Ampenan, NTB. With the cultural background of Ampenan City people (Sasak, Malay, Chinese, Bugis), this research has produced a national integration model toward harmony. The data collection used in-depth interviews and Focus Group Discussion (FGD). Data analysis was performed using interactive analysis. To test the data validity, this study utilized the triangulation of sources, methods, and researchers. Several things supporting assimilation in Ampenan include past experiences, equal opportunities in the economic field, tolerance in religion, absence of dominant ethnicity in social interactions, use of regional languages in interethnic interactions, mixed marriages (amalgamation), and roles of Local Government in fostering the existing harmony. These factors support assimilation to produce a form of social interaction without being colored by conflict.
