Abstract
      This research is related to the role of Balombot in strengthening social and cultural solidarity in Adean Village. This study used a descriptive qualitative approach, involving 10 informants consisting of the community, community leaders and village governments. The research was conducted on July 5-20, 2024, in Adean Village, Central Banggai District, Banggai Laut Regency, Central Sulawesi Province, Indonesia. Data were collected through observations, in-depth interviews, and focus group discussions (FGD). The study results showed that Balombot, a tradition of mutual cooperation, adheres to the principle of reciprocity or reciprocal assistance. It is still carried out today, both at major celebrations and family celebrations such as weddings, burials of the dead, and various other activities. The existence of the Balombot institution has strengthened the social and cultural solidarity of the people of Adean Village. This institution will survive if there is family, community, and local government support. The support of universities or other educational institutions and the media is also expected to help maintain this tradition.
