Abstract

Customary-based economic institutions aim to maintain the local wisdom of the community and accelerate national economic development. The economic life of indigenous peoples in Bali has increased through the presence of the Village Credit Institution (LPD). The existence of this LPD is an example of success in empowering indigenous peoples. The empowerment of indigenous peoples is based on the concept that each community member has an obligation to support their respective traditional activities. In getting this LPD capital, the traditional leaders make awig-awig as a basis for collecting donations from people who are entrepreneurs or trade-in the customary area. This institution was formed with the aim of making it easy for the community to lend venture capital and the costs of adat activities. With this financial institution, the community has experienced an increase in its economy and welfare. Based on this phenomenon, the problems that will be examined in this study are (1) How does the Balinese Adat Village build its community's economic system? (2) What are the forms of economic institutions of indigenous peoples in Indonesia? (3) What is the economic empowerment model for indigenous peoples as a strategy in accelerating national economic development?. In answering the above problem formulation, this research generally aims to produce an economic model of indigenous peoples as a strategy in accelerating national economic development. Specific objectives: To find out how the Balinese Indigenous Village community built their economic systems; to identify the forms of economic institutions of indigenous peoples in Indonesia; and to formulate the economic empowerment model of indigenous peoples as a strategy in accelerating national economic development. To achieve this goal, researchers conducted research on traditional institutions in 3 provinces, namely: Bali, North Sumatra, Central Kalimantan. This location was chosen because the lifestyle of the people is still determined by their respective traditional institutions. This research was started in Bali because the traditional economic institutions have succeeded in prospering members of the community so far. Researchers used qualitative and quantitative descriptive methods (mixed methods) with comparative case study research types. Thus, this research is expected to get a model in the context of accelerating national economic development. Data is collected and analyzed by observation, interview, and document. The findings are that the three customary settings between the Batak Karo, Bali, and Dayak found that there are similarities in the economic empowerment model of indigenous peoples that are able to meet the desires of each of its members. The conclusion is the existence of customary economic institutions that spur people to improve their economy in order to accelerate the development of the national economy which ultimately leads to the welfare of the lives of its people.
