SEJARAH MIGRASI DAN EKSISTENSI MIGRAN ETNIS BUGIS DI PERANTAUAN

This study aims to analyze the history of migration and the existence of ethnic Bugis in Jambi Province. The results showed that: the history of Bugis ethnic migration to the Jambi region was a long history since the period after Indonesia became independent. The political and security turmoil after Indonesian independence encouraged Bugis ethnic to migrate to areas they considered safe and there were networks of Bugis ethnic communities in the region. The ecological adaptation process is carried out by ethnic Bugis because of differences in environmental conditions faced by environmental conditions in the area of origin. Bugis ethnics carry out a process of ecological adaptation that is different from the origin area with the aim of supporting efforts to develop livelihood systems overseas. The livelihood systems developed by Bugis ethnicity are related to intra-social fabric links and between ethnic Bugis communities that are overseas. Social capital in the lives of ethnic Bugis overseas makes it easier for them to develop a livelihood system, supports the process of adaptation to new environments overseas and is even able to encourage a number of individuals to own assets and control the overseas economy. The social capital involved also engages close social relations with other ethnic groups in overseas locations such as the ethnic Malays and ethnic Duano who are indigenous people in the Kuala Jambi region as well as other ethnic migrants who also migrate to the region.
