Abstract

This article is the research result of Bugis life in Karimunjawa. Buginese or Bugis is one of the tribes in Indonesia with great enthusiasm to migrate. This study aims to examine the reasons why the Bugis migrate to Karimunjawa, the reasons they settle, the adaptation strategies they use to survive in Karimunjawa and the social changes in their lives. The used method in this study was a qualitative method, with the data collection through literature studies, intensively observation by observing community activities accompanied by detailed records, and structured or unstructured in-depth interview. The results showed that Masompe ' (wander off) meant as a high prestige for the Bugis. The philosophy of Tellu Cappa ("three tips") is the capital of the Bugis to migrate. The adaptation that has been done by the Bugis tribe brings changes to the Bugis environment and the surrounding community, so as to create harmony in interaction.
