MARGINALIZATION AND SIGNIFICANCE OF POWER IN ACCOUNTING; A CASE STUDY OF THE BETAWI TRIBE SOCIETY IN INDONESIA

The Betawi people, who have been considered the original ethnic groups in Jakarta, are felt to be decreasing and even marginalized. In fact, with the development of DKI Jakarta as the capital city, it is felt that it is increasing from year to year. With their proximity to the central government, they should be able to become the most advanced tribes and have a better life and be famous compared to other tribes in Indonesia. This study aims to provide an overview and understanding of the causes of the retreat of the Betawi people in Jakarta. This study uses a critical methodology (critical inquiry) with a qualitative approach. The results of this study indicate the importance of the government's role in preserving and maintaining the increasingly marginalized Betawi culture. The young Betawi generation is one important aspect to develop their awareness in financial management to preserve the Betawi people in the land of Jakarta and foster a sense of being active in advancing the Jakarta administration.
