Abstract

The piring terbang tradition is a food-serving system practiced in Javanese wedding receptions in which guests remain seated while food is served directly by sinoman or food servers. This study aims to understand the piring terbang tradition as a social practice related to commensality, collective work organization, norms of hospitality, and social change in Javanese society. This research used a qualitative case study approach conducted in Gentan Village, Baki District, Sukoharjo Regency, Central Java. Data were collected through semi-structured in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation involving community members participating in the implementation of the piring terbang tradition. Data were analyzed through coding, thematic categorization, and interpretation. The findings show that the piring terbang tradition is closely related to collective work, mutual cooperation, social relations, and hospitality practices within Javanese wedding ceremonies. The tradition also reflects a collective division of labor through the involvement of rewang, sinoman, among tamu, and local community groups in organizing wedding receptions. On the other hand, the increasing use of catering services, buffet systems, and wedding organizers (WO) has influenced the implementation of wedding receptions. Nevertheless, the people of Gentan Village continue to maintain the piring terbang tradition as part of togetherness and hospitality within village communal life.
