Abstract

In the social sciences, social structure is a patterned social order in a society that emerges from and determines individual actions (Coleman, 2004). Society is seen as a social system, namely a pattern of social interaction consisting of an ordered and institutionalized social component. The characteristics of a social system, namely the social structure that includes the status and roles in social units, give rise to values and norms that will regulate the interaction between these social statuses and roles (Coleman, 1966). Therefore, social structures are structures and patterns that have internalized and become part of people’s lives. To observe the nature of the social structure, it is necessary to observe the community’s daily activities, except for the social structure of rural communities. The social structure in rural areas is related to patterns of social relations, interactions that are intensely intertwined, and create interdependence that takes place continuously, which will then form an organized pattern and the functions and roles that exist in the rural social structure. Regarding the land conversion action, the social structure of the Ngringo community, which is increasingly open and dynamic, it is possible to open access to the land-use change action. For Durkheim (Coleman, 1986), social structure is as objective as nature itself. According to him, the nature of the structure is given to citizens from the moment they are born, just as nature has given to natural phenomena, whether living or not. We don’t choose to believe in somethingwenow believeorchoosethe action we take now. We learnto thinkordoallofthesethings. Theexistingcultural rules determine our ideas and behaviour through socialization. In another case with Durkheim, Max Weber (Frank, 1990)seessocial structure as the basis of the economy, status and power. So that society can rank high in one or two of the class level dimensions while being in a low position in other dimensions. The occurrence of land conversion actions in Ngringo Village due to spatial relations and orbital causes an increase in the number of public settlements, commercial and industrial development, and economic facilities. This situation causes land prices to increase and encourages landowners to sell land to developers
