Abstract

This paper discusses one of the adaptation strategies of peasant society in Tanah Karo, North Sumatera. The eruption of the Mount Sinabung had impacted on the condition of the people in Tanah Karo, such as crop failures of corn. As a strategy, local people start to implement an adaptation of planting fields with coffee rather than planting the corn. This research was conducted through field research, and data were collected through interviews and observation in Perbaji village, and Tiganderket village, Tanah Karo. The changes show a form of adaptation strategy in Karo people. The adaptation strategy the Karo people used can be said in social engineering. This paper shows how Karo people adapt to their environment and show the transformation through social engineering.
