Key words: Cretivity; festivals; Medan city; tourism industry; globalization Introduction This paper sougth creativity factor of heritage tourism in which ethnic and religious groups to reconstruct thecultural festivals. It is known that many festivals are a realization of religious and social values, there is still a lack of a valid database of soci-cultural studies. In other words, field data and scientific formulations by fundamental research are not yet available in the construction of 'grounded theory' or no 'reliable' references and research reports. There is a 'gap of cultural knowledge' between religious performances and traditions carried out by ethnic groups living in the city of Medan with the production of theories of Humanities. The cultural facts of Medan City show that there are many cultural performances that are rich in philosophy and social values, but have not been accompanied by qualified production of cultural ethnography (writing cultural ethnography). Due to the gap of scientific report of the rich cultural heritage of the city of Medan, which has not been accompanied by the creation of a database, it aimed at finding the effects of the creativity factor that leads the theoretical formulation from the 'intangible heritage database' is very few. On the other hand, the database and umbrella for applied science and knowledge for 'stakeholders' in the tourism sector are vital. So that Medan City can become the largest center for religious and cultural tourism on the island of Sumatra on a global scale, in essence, it must be supported by empirical data. This research is related to the festival events which held by religious institutions, traditional cultural institutions, government and entrepreneurs. The activities of rituals, carnivals and cultural festivals of Medan City are of course how many of them have the potential to be developed as religious and cultural tourism on a global scale. The potential activities of the Ritual, Carnival and Cultural Festival of the City ISSN: 2005-4238 IJAST Copyright ⓒ 2020 SERSC 1803 International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 6, (2020), pp. 1803-1810 of Medan, both from the content, spectrum and from the packaging techniques performed can be developed into a global scale religious and cultural tourism. Additioinally, Maestas (2011) in the Applied Anthropology, ethnographic observations will be able to reveal the characteristics of ethnic culture and illuminate the traditions of each ethnic group to be able to synergize with the global order. Getz (2010) lists various research models of ritual and cultural performances in the context of the global tourism industry. For fundamental research based on ethnology, Getz said that the theoretical foundation generally refers to the ritual and cultural procession which is the actualization of ideology, social values, identity and sustainability of ethnic groups that celebrate important momentum (Getz, 2010: 2). In line with the recommendation of UNESCO 1972 which was ratified at the 2003 Safeguard of the Intangible Cultural Heritage (ICH) Convention, in Western Europe, Regina F Bendix, Aditya Eggert and Arnika Peselmann spearheaded the adaptation of the UNESCO ratification for the continuation of intangible cultural heritage and the Regina F Bendix formed a research team to observe local traditions that are still living (living heritage) and as well as those that will become extinct, and can still be conserved (2012: 13). In essence, the UNESCO convention is capacity building in the form of the ability of ethnic groups, researchers, educators and governments to create a 'sustainability of tradition' with renewal. Given the rich cultural diversity of Medan City that has not been inventoried and scientifically structured in global challenges, the inspiration of Regina F Bendix and her team (2012) provides preliminary knowledge for fundamental research needed to discover the scientific framework of the religious and cultural 'living' of Medan. The results of this fundamental research become scientific capital and new methods that can be utilized in the development of the religious and cultural tourism industry on a global scale. Methods A qualitative research procedure with survey, observation and interviews in the festival events was applied. It sought the creativity factor which made the event organizers, artists and entrepreneurs to revive the liturgical and carnival drama as urban festivals in Medan Municipality of North Sumatra. Following Turner (1974) and Singer (1980) ideas of rituals which have produced several drama theories and social functions in tribe groups, this study focused on the revival of heritage awareness as potential factor in urban festivals. Thus data collection of the functions and social meaning of drama (Schechner, 2006 and 2008) which provide a comprehensive elaboration on rituals and cultural activities were found in festivals.Data collection considers the creativity factor in reconstruction of the liturgy and ceremony are still living in society (Fernandez et al, 1982) as modern social criticism and entertainment (Hilton, 1993). Results and Discussions Ethno- history behind the Festivals It noted that the cultural traditions of the city of Medan is influenced by the historical setting of the city of Medan, which, according to the Serdang nobleman named Tengku Luckman Sinar (2005), originated from the Kingdom of Haru which changed into the Kingdom of Deli (16th century); then became the center of the Dutch East Indies for the East Coast region of Sumatra (in the late 1800s until Indonesian independence); after the Independence of the Republic of Indonesia the City of Medan became the Central Government of the Province of East Sumatra, and at present the Center of the Capital of the Province of North Sumatra. Haru Kingdom has been said to have a strategic port in the Straits of Malacca since the 1200s. The location of the port of the Kingdom of Haru which is now called the City of China is located between the mouth of the Deli River and Buluh Cina. From the central port of the Kingdom of Haru, there are local and foreign cultural contacts, which are continued with their dissemination and adaptation in the community. So the influence of the Portuguese, Indian, Chinese and Arabic through ISSN: 2005-4238 IJAST Copyright ⓒ 2020 SERSC 1804 International Journal of Advanced Science and Technology Vol. 29, No. 6, (2020), pp. 1803-1810 intercontinental shipping brought the process of adaptation of foreign cultures to local creativity. When the Dutch opened a tobacco plantation in the Deli Kingdom area in the 1860s, the Netherlands recruited garden workers from Java, India and South China. After the city of Medan became large, various ethnic groups came to Deli to migrate, trade, study and transit. So "Polyetnic City" (Nagata, 1986) Medan City has a distinctive religious and cultural tradition. The development of Medan City as the center of government and trade in the Dutch Colonial era made the composition of Medan's population change drastically. Even historian Anthony Reid (1979) noted that Medan City was dominated by immigrants and ethnic Malays, Karo and Simalungun as the native population became a minority. Lengenberg (1982) predicts the occurrence of inter-ethnic conflict in East Sumatra because it is caused by the interaction of migrants and indigenous people is less communicative, and migrants have mastered the economy of the East Sumatra region. Conversely, indigenous people are powerless in facing wiyalah growth, economically, socially and culturally. Indonesia's independence brought blessings to ethnic groups living in the city of Medan. The term "Polyethnic City" (Nagata, 1979) can be used as a Branded City of Medan because it is rich in ethnic cultural heritage. At this time, Medan City has a distinctive cultural character and has the potential to become a religious and

  • Diaspora Komunitas Tamil Di Sumatera Utara: Antara Menjadi India Atau Indonesia
    Jurnal Sains Sosio Humaniora P-ISSN: 2580-1244 Volume 5 Nomor 1 Juni 2021 E-ISSN: 2580-2305 Diaspora Komunitas Tamil di Sumatera Utara: Antara Menjadi India atau Indonesia Suryo Adi Sahfutra, Universitas Pembangunan Panca Budi Email Corresponding author: [email protected] ABSTRACT Cultural sustainability refers to inter-and intra-generation access to cultural heritage. The sustainability of non-material culture is complex because it is related to the experiences of cultural groups and is built by actors in their daily lives. Cultural sustainability is important for the diaspora community because it is an attempt to maintain their cultural identity in their communities while not completely losing contact with cultural elements in their ancestral lands. This paper discusses the strategies used by Muslim Tamils in Medan, North Sumatra, The Muslim Tamils in Indonesia use mainly informal strategies in the process of preserving culture. However, technological advances that have increased the ease of travel and communication have also enhanced the communication and closeness of these two communities with other Tamil communities around the world and have helped further the sustainability of art, language, culinary and religious practices. Muslim Tamils in Medan are experiencing a crisis of identity as Tamils because they are Muslim and many cultural identities conflict with Islamic teachings. Cross-ethnic marriage, assimilation with the non- Tamil community is strong enough to influence changes in cultural orientation, the identity that is still embedded in the Tamil Muslim community can only be found in weddings, culinary and some cultural adaptation practices. At the same time, as citizens of descent, they face the construction of a citizenship identity, becoming Tamils who live in Indonesia or become Indonesians as ethnic Tamils.

Empirically, the substance of the study is focused on strengthening discrimination and segregation in Medan City. The fundamental problem is formulated in the question: is it true that intolerant attitudes have an impact on discrimination and segregation in multicultural societies? This study was conducted qualitatively with a descriptive approach. Data collected through in-depth interviews and questionnaires. Theoretically, the reference used is the Least-Liked approach developed by Sullivan. Data analysis refers to eight attribute values ​​tolerant according to Ingelhart. The study’s finding is that the Least-Liked attitude is the failure of an assimilationist political mechanism. Multiculturalism is influenced by ethnicity situations that do not guarantee the emergence of multiculturalist attitudes but have the least related effects, discrimination, and segregation. The novelty of this study lies in the idea of ​​multiculturalism which is lacking in the support of assimilative politics. Theoretically, the contribution of this study reinforces Sullivan’s assumptions and empirically emphasizes the importance of assimilative political mechanisms in multicultural societies. Keywords: ethnicity situation; intolerant attitudes; multicultural; segregation INTRODUCTION The results of the Setara Institute study in 2018 stated that (WVS) or the Global Social Tolerance Index (GSTI) Medan became one of the intolerant cities in Indonesia (Zanakis, 2016) or the General Social Survey (GSS) (Susanto, 2018).

  • BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Seperti Kota
    BAB I PENDAHULUAN 1.1 Latar Belakang Masalah Seperti kota-kota besar lain di Indonesia, Kota Jakarta, Kota Surabaya, dan Kota Bandung, Kota Medan juga merupakan kota besar yang terdiri dari berbagai keberagaman suku, agama, bahasa, seni dan budaya. Keanekaragaman tersebut menjadikan Kota Medan sebagai kota majemuk yang masyarakatnya hidup berdampingan dan harmonis satu sama lain. Kota Medan menjadi contoh kota majemuk yang baik bagi kota-kota lain di Indonesia dalam hal bertoleransi dan mengharagai antarmasyarakat. Lebih dalam dari konsep plruralisme, multikulturalisme lebih menekankan relasi antarkebudayaan dengan pengertian bahwa keberadaan suatu kebudayaan harus mempertimbangkan keberadaan kebudayaan lainnya. Dari sini lahir gagasan kesetaraan, toleransi, dan saling menghargai (Suharyanto, 2012:4). Keharmonisan hidup antarsuku adalah bentuk interpretasi dari adanya rasa saling menghormati dan menghargai yang cukup tinggi dalam diri setiap masyarakat. Menerapkan konsep Melting Pot dalam kehidupan bermasyarakat yang beragam sangatlah diperlukan agar terhindar dari ketegangan-ketegangan atau konflik suku, ras, golongan, maupun agama. Konsep Melting Pot diwacanakan oleh J. Hector seorang imigran asal Normandia. Dalam teorinya Hector menekankan penyatuan budaya dan melelehkan budaya asal, sehingga seluruh imigran Amerika hanya memiliki satu 1 2 budaya baru yakni budaya Amerika, walaupun diakui bahwa monokultur mereka itu lebih diwarnai oleh kultur White Anglo Saxon Protestant (WASP) sebagai kultur imigran kulit putih berasal Eropa. (https://susvie.wordpress.com/2008/08/11/multikulturalisme/. (Diakses: 16.04.2016). Harmonisasi yang tercipta pada masyarakat Kota Medan bukan saja terjalin antar sesama penduduk pribumi seperti Suku Batak, Suku Melayu, Suku Jawa, Suku Minangkabau dan suku-suku pribumi lainnya tetapi juga terjalin dengan etnis-etnis lainnya termasuk etnis Tamil dan Etnis Tionghoa.
