Abstract

Isolated customary communities exist in almostall parts of the world, Indonesia. Such communitiesare usually located in hard-to forested or mountainous areas. In these areas, the geographical nature of the surroundings makes it difficult for community members to access necessary including health, economic, education, and economic services. This condition is experienced by the isolated community of Pangahu in the Gorontalo Province in Indonesia. Pangahu Village is a poor and under-developed community. The area has limited access because ofa poor transportation and communication infrastructure, low economic status, low educational level, and limited health facilities. As a result, most of the members of this community have succumbed to the existing situation and no longer consider their future. The most appropriate approach to this situation is empowerment in the aspects that are required to live. However, all empowerment efforts should consider the local wisdom, social values, and cultural regulators that are inherited from generation to generation. Accordingly, the difficulties that occur in many aspects of these community member’s lives will be prevented.
