Abstract

For the Batak people, land is identity. Land is ancestral. Land is home to the Batak people, so there are often prolonged conflicts and even bloodshed triggered by claims to land. Therefore sociologically it is not easy for the Batak people to sell land or inherited houses, even though they are open to ethnic groups. There is a collective memory that is inherent or embodied in both: Land and heritage homes. The love for land is the background of thedevelopment movement Marsipature Hutana Be. For this study, an attempt is made to read social reality with a sociological and theological perspective based on empirical and historical facts. This study aims to describe and identify issues of development and social change in the Batak Land. Achieving this with qualitative research and appreciative inquiry with participatory methods and phenomenology. The results of the study are as follows: Building a village (pature huta) or hometown (bonapasogit) is the greatest desire of the Batak people because the village or origin is related to identity. Even Tanah Batak is seen as a house of identity in relation to collective memory.
