  • Social structure is a construction of social relations which explains relation within a social institution. This concept is important to understand community effort in establishing the interrelation between aspects of traditional and modern. The aim of this research was to explore the social structure of Imekko community including their social structure and kinship, social interaction, leadership structure, and decision pattern of leadership. The results show that the important factors in the society such as cita-textile (kain-cita), block-textile (kain-blok), cleaver, spear, axe, and the ownership of orchad/ forest sagoo and other resources are not used in the grouping of the society hierarchically. Kinship system adopted is assessed based on the pattern of inheritance (patrilineal). Marriage system adopted is exogamy which is not allowed marriage between couple who is having consanguinity or coming from the same clan. Indigenous custom adopted is virilokal which requires the newly married couples to be settled in the husband's extended family environment. Social interaction in society is associative that seen in the bond of marriage, religious tolerance, verbal communication, custom meeting, and the goods exchange. Dissociative process is rarely occurs, even so it is only at the level of disagreement. There are two systems of leadership that is formal and non-formal. The authority usually depends on the status or social position of the leader and the decision making system is based on consensus.
