Eksistensi Kesenian Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo di Desa Mulyorejo, Kecamatan Sungai Lilin untuk Pendidikan dan Pelestarian Budaya Lokal

Abstract

Traditional arts reflect the identity and social values ​​of the community. In Mulyorejo Village, Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo is an expression of Javanese transmigrant culture, facing modernization, shifting youth interests, and social dynamics. This study aims to analyze the existence of Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo Art, understand the factors that support its sustainability, and assess the role of this art in education and local cultural preservation. The study uses a descriptive qualitative approach with Berger and Luckmann's Social Construction Theory as an analytical framework. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews with members of the arts group, community leaders, and village officials, and documentation of Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo performances. Data analysis was carried out thematically through the stages of reduction, presentation, and verification, so as to obtain a deep understanding of social processes, cultural values, and the mechanisms of internalization of art in society. The results of the study indicate that Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo Art is in an active, stable, and institutionalized condition. The sustainability of this art is supported by internal factors, namely member solidarity, maintenance of traditional authenticity, and selective innovation, as well as external factors, such as village government support, community appreciation, and the use of digital media for the adaptation and dissemination of cultural values. Dialectically, Jaranan Turonggo Budoyo is objectified as a social fact in the Suro traditional ritual and internalized as a collective identity, thus functioning as a spectacle, cultural education, and formation of local character. These findings indicate the potential of this art as a model for cultural preservation through non-formal education, strengthening community identity, digital innovation, regeneration of artists, and strengthening social values ​​in society.
