ABSTRACT By: Ariesta Amanda 14/371756/PSP/05130 This study aims to criticize the practice of establishing Betawi Cultural Village (PBB) Setu Babakan by the social agencies involved in the development of Betawi Cultural Village (PBB) Setu Babakan. This study employs a qualitative method, more specifically employs with in-depth interviews that took place in Setu Babakan Betawi Cultural Village, Srengseng Sawah, Jagakarsa Sub-district, South Jakarta. Data obtained through observations and interviews involving unit area managers (UPK), Assessment and Development (Jibang), Betawi Cultural Institutions (LKB), Betawi community, local people and tourists who visited the Betawi Cultural Village Setu Babakan. The data analysis was conducted on the collection of data, triangulation, data presentation, and conclusion. This study shows that the Betawi Cultural Village is a result of political construct designed by the Betawi elites, such as: Betawi cultural institutions, who claimed to represent the Betawi community in general. The idea was then supported by the local government (Dept. of tourism and culture) of the protection of the cultural tradition of Betawi. In fact, there are many contradictions of the policies issued by local government through their applications. The Betawi Cultural Village Setu Babakan today is functioned more as a involved of development objects of cultural tourism on behalf of cultural preservation rather than empowered the cultural existence of the Betawi community themselves. The roles of social agencies show that the influences of the Betawi elites and particular group like the Assessment and development (Jibang) acted more as the watchdogs in the top-down model of surveillance controlled by the local government. The interests of the local government and the Betawi elites have proved that cultural preservation is treated more as cultural business. In this context, the existence of the Betawi Cultural Village represents more as a field of economic and political reproduction rather than social and cultural reproduction.
