Abstract

This study aims to explore the role of local wisdom in the empowerment of construction laborers, focusing on the Indonesian Construction Labour Union (SBKI) in Gunung Kidul, using a qualitative approach. The findings show that these labor communities organically empower themselves through local traditions such as guys rukun and gotong royong, which not only build social solidarity but also strengthen labor organizations. Initiatives that emerge from within the community, both through labor rights advocacy and other empowerment activities, show that construction workers are able to utilize their local resources and potential to achieve welfare. This strong indigenousity within the community serves as important social capital in building organizational foundations, supporting advocacy processes, and empowering the community. The success of this empowerment initiative emphasizes the importance of respecting indigenousity in community development and demonstrates that communities can develop their own potential without the need for excessive external intervention. This indigenousity can ultimately serve as a model for other communities facing similar challenges.
