Makna Kesejahteraan dalam Pandangan Masyarakat Marjinal: Studi Etnografi di Kawasan Urban Miskin

Abstract

This study aims to understand the meaning of well-being from the perspective of marginalized communities living in impoverished urban areas. Using an ethnographic approach, the research explores the perceptions and lived experiences of well-being as interpreted by the community based on their social, cultural, and economic contexts. The findings reveal that well-being for marginalized communities is not solely measured by material aspects, but also includes social, spiritual, and psychological dimensions. Factors such as community solidarity, family closeness, and a sense of security are key indicators in their perception of well-being. These findings offer valuable insights for the development of more inclusive and context-sensitive social policies.
