Abstract

This qualitative study aims to provide a background picture of the shipwright families in Tanah Lemo, Bulukumba Regency ini South Sulawesi and the cultural values used to guide and stabilise their lives. The subjects in this study were the families of shipbuilders in Tanah Lemo, consisting of a family of courtiers (boat entrepreneurs) and worker families. Besides, key informants were also selected: the village head, the head of the religious affairs office, educators, and community leaders. Data collection is done with in-depth interviews, observation, and documentation. Analysis of the data used descriptive analysis technique. The study found that the life of the shipwright families and communities in Tanah Lemo was vibrant by the coast's nature, living close to where they made Pinisi boats. Within simplistic houses, they carried out a process of socialising. Especially gaining self-taught skills in making boats, relatively small-income workers would send their children without tertiary education orientation. They only have graduate school at the junior or high school level and then marry. The fact is done as a form of dignity and one way to protect the family from disgrace. They also tend to Punggawa families (business owners). The Punggawa children's education has begun to change; some of them have already graduated; the Punggawa family's success is marked by its relatively luxurious home and the title of Hajj. Sawi (worker) families' life is strongly influenced by cultural values, including their view of the nature of life, work, time, and human relations. This study implies future studies with more detailed descriptions and comparisons of shipwrights in different geographical locations.
