Traditional Development of Hatobangon as Quasi Legitimation for Eliminated Religious Conflict in South Tapanuli District

Abstract

The aim of this research is to find a model of tribal and religious partnership in increasing Hatobangon's capacity as a quasi-legitimacy so that it can be sustainable as a traditional institution in the Angkola tribal community in South Tapanuli. The approach used in this study is a qualitative approach. The locations chosen were villages in South Tapanuli Regency which were determined based on the strength of Hatobangon's presence in Village Development totaling 212 villages. The partnership pattern that occurs between the government and Hatobangon in the development of villages in South Tapanuli Regency is (a) Subordinate union of partnership, namely the government is still more dominant in carrying out its functional role in development (b) Linear union of partnership, namely the government's partnership with traditional institutions is outlined in the decision letter so that cooperation can be established between the two partnering parties. (c) Linear Collaborative of Partnership, namely a partnership between the government and traditional institutions in village development not only focused on economic growth, but also on improving the quality of Human Resources (HR).
