“…Communal relations, such as soyo activities, are still existent and needed in the era of modern management in urban societies, and this can become a platform for the development of help-to-help and mutual cooperation behavior among members. In this case, the traditional factor [44] has a very important role in maintaining and preserving this cooperation culture in soyo activities. Furthermore, several values of local wisdom were found to be contained in this tradition, such as religion, togetherness, tolerance, and happiness, and this made it sustainable in the community [3].…”

The mutual help or soyo practice, which has relevance in modern management systems, is an effort to strengthen the local wisdom values in urban communities that tend to rely on cultural mechanisms. This research aims to show the cultural mechanism that still survives in Javanese urban communities concerning modern management systems development. Meanwhile, the analysis performed was based on data obtained through interviews, observation, and documentation methods. The research showed that soyo is a local tradition that emphasizes the survival of solidarity bonds and mutual help or ta’awun. Furthermore, the practice describes the efforts to maintain community cohesion and solidity amid life’s complexities. The mutual help principle in soyo has also proven to assist the community in achieving goals without fully relying on economic capital and other parties’ intervention, especially from the state. Therefore, a modern management system should be open to the local wisdom values in reflecting how to achieve these goals.

“…It may not be fanciful to believe that this can become a platform for the development of mutual help and mutual cooperation between members of an urban community. In this case, traditional factors (Zulfadrim et al 2018) have a very important role in maintaining and preserving the culture of cooperation that are found in soyo activities. Furthermore, local wisdom contained in this tradition, such as religion, togetherness, tolerance, and happiness have the potential to make it sustainable in the community (Aghsari et al 2018).…”
