The Strategy of the Delta Punk Art Community in Changing Negative Stigma: a Case Study in Kampung Seni Sidoarjo

Penelitian ini menganalisis strategi komunitas Delta Punk Art dalam mengubah stigma negatif masyarakat berikut berbagai tantangan yang dihadapi. Substansi ini dicermati dari teori strategi adaptasi John W. Bennett bahwa adaptasi merupakan upaya membangun pola hubungan sosial dan membebaskan diri dari masalah yang dihadapi. Adaptasi di sini terbagi menjadi tiga, yakni adaptasi perilaku, siasat, dan proses. Penelitian ini menjadi penting mengingat selama ini masyarakat masih menganggap bahwa semua komunitas punk meresahkan dengan perbuatan anarkisnya. Pada faktanya, terdapat juga komunitas punk yang berusaha keras mengubah pandangan masyarakat melalui berbagai strategi yang dimiliki. Metode yang digunakan adalah studi kasus, mengacu pada pendapat Robert K. Yin. Subjek penelitian adalah anggota komunitas Delta Punk Art yakni EN, DN, dan RY. Nama tersebut sengaja disamarkan demi keamanan. Lokasi penelitian di Kampung Seni Blok CG No. 5-6 Kabupaten Sidoarjo. Teknik pengumpulan data yang digunakan adalah wawancara mendalam terkait adaptasi perilaku, siasat, dan proses serta observasi. Data yang terkumpul dianalisis dengan mengacu pendapat Miles dan Huberman dengan mensandingkan perspektif teori strategi adaptif John W. Bennett. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan terdapat tiga strategi meliputi strategi menyesuaikan tindakan dalam memenuhi harapan lingkungan, strategi memanfaatkan sumber daya sebagai faktor penting dalam proses adaptasi, serta strategi mempertahankan hidup dan meringankan beban satu sama lain. Penelitian ini memperkuat teori strategi adaptasi oleh John W. Bennett terutama pada bagian strategi adaptasi perilaku. Hasil dari penelitian direkomendasikan sebagai pijakan bagi peneliti dengan kasus sejenis dan komunitas punk lain dalam usahanya mengubah stigma negatif masyarakat.

This study analyzes the Delta Punk Art Community strategy in changing the negative stigma of society along with the various challenges it faces. This substance is observed from John Bennett's theory of adaptation strategy that adaptation is an effort to build patterns of social relations and free oneself from the problems faced. The adaptation here is divided into three, namely the adaptation of behavior, tactics, and processes. This research is important to be researched considering that so far people still think that all punk communities are troubled by their anarchist actions. In fact, there are also punk communities who are trying hard to change people's views through various strategies. The method used is a case study, referring to the opinion of Robert K. Yin. The research subjects were members of the Delta Punk Art Community, namely EN, DN, and RY. The name was deliberately changed for security reasons. The research location is in Kampung Seni Blok CG No. 5-6 Sidoarjo Regency. Meanwhile, the data collection techniques used were in-depth interviews related to behavior adaptation, tactics, and processes as well as observations. The data collected was analyzed with reference to the opinion of Miles and Huberman by juxtaposing the perspective of John W. Bennett's adaptive strategy theory. The results showed that there were three strategies including strategies to adjust actions to meet environmental expectations, strategies to utilize resources as an important factor in the adaptation process, and strategies to survive and ease each other's burdens. This study strengthens the theory of adaptation strategies by John W. Bennett, especially in the behavioral adaptation strategy section. The results of this study are recommended as a basis for researchers with similar cases and other punk communities in their efforts to change the negative stigma of society.
