Kampung Urug, a traditional village having rich heritage and cultural sites, is in Bogor, West Java. This village is divided into three parts: Urug Lebak, Urug Tengah, and Urug Tonggoh. Kampung Urug has a cultural identity that triggered distinctive socio-cultural awareness. This identity is created from two big narratives of the government and the key figure of Kampung Urug. The aim of this research is to explore the mythical narrative, social norms, and rules of capitalism in Kampung Urug. It specifically answers a research problem trying to discover how traditional culture and modernity meet in the social realm of Kampung Urug. This research applies ethnography method through in-depth interviews and field observations aiming to collect data and information from the interviews, photos, and video documentary. Cultural studies approach is used to explore Abah Ukat as the key figure when describing Urug Lebak society. In conclusion, this article will offer new perspectives on Kampung Urug as a part of Geopark Pongkor and how the people created their own boundary by working with the Government to retain their cultural identity and cultural heritage.
