Abstract

Social changes, including those that occur as a result of digital transformation, not only affect changes in ways
of communicating but also change cultural values and practices. Nevertheless, the effect of digital transformation
on peace culture continuity study is so limited. This study aims to know and understand how society produces
a culture of peace in the challenges of digitalization and social change that exist. This research is a qualitative
research result from three villages that are different and spread over two districts of Yogyakarta Province namely
Sleman and Kulonprogo. Data collection used the interview method to more than 20 informans through various ages
and religions, focus group discussion (FGD) with public figures and youths, and observation of cultural practices
in three locations. The results show the way of social change because digital transformation through social media
communication impacted the weakness of meeting rooms which is an important pillar for a peace culture. The
three villages show different societal abilities in peace culture production, mainly in the social cohesion pattern
aspect. So, in a village, peace culture can last, but it will be lost in other villages.
