Abstract
The history of a village in Indonesia is always framed by kinship, homogeneity, and a simple institutional structure. In agriculturally based rural communities, people used to work hard but feel relief from working within the framework of agricultural circles. At the busiest times, the extended family is usually unable to cultivate all the land or fields. During this period, people can hire additional people or ask for help from villagers (Zargustin et al., 2018). This can be found in Ngringo Village (Kanto et al., 2020). Village development with rice and livestock-based economic growth and pride at each harvest period is of little value, but the owners enjoy it very much. What happens if a village is considered to have resources, as Ngringo Village currently has?Previously, we understood the village community as explained by Soejono Soekanto (Soekanto, 2001) that, in essence, rural communities are gradual. People in one village have a closer relationship with the people in their village than people in other villages. Group life is based on the kinship system. Although they work as carpenters, tile and brick makers, and construction workers, villagers generally have a livelihood in agriculture (Geertz, 1974; Scott, 1998; White, 2007). Society is characterized by interactions, unique patterns of behavior in all aspects of good and sustainable life, and a sense of identity toward the group, where the individual concerned becomes a member of the group (Yap and Ng, 2018). Thus, of course, the Ngringo community will experience changes and will no longer be what Soejono Soekanto, Clifford Geertz, James Scott, and Thomas Ben White previously said. Farmers are visualized as actors in land conversion. However, in real conditions, this conversion process occurs due to several factors such as geographical location, land availability, community acceptance of the entry of industry, and new economic location. Regarding the situation in Ngringo Village, the book entitled “Population Principles” written by Malthus states that human development is faster than the production of agricultural products to meet human needs. The amount of agricultural land in Ngringo Village as one of the leading production factors has remained even reduced drastically; agricultural land will be reduced due to building housing, factories, and other infrastructure. This situation then brought changes in society. Spencer distinguished four stages of human evolution: multiplication or addition stage, complexification stage, division or differentiation stage, and integration stage.
