Abstract |
At the ethnic village, the process of economic change and adaptation was more evident than that of educational, public health and recreational. The process of religious change and adaptation was least evident, less than that of family and administrative areas. The factors related to socio-cultural change included public infrastructure, state-initiated development, socialization and mass media. The most evident from the change was a transition to modernization, materialism and better quality of life. The least evident effects from the change were respect to the elderly and social problems which were manageable by the community.
