Abstract

This paper describes the Warteg business, which is seen not only as a place to eat for city dwellers from the bottom to the top, but also discusses the history of the warteg, the warteg business itself, labor and village-city relations. This study uses a qualitative approach; with the method of data collection is an in-depth interview with 6 warteg owners. The conclusion of this paper is that warteg is a network of social relations and a strategy to adapt to the culture of the city. As a small business, the warteg business needs to get attention from the government. The theoretical contribution of this research is to deepen the study of the low-middle income group in an urban area who fulfill their meals from outside their house. This research also provides a contribution to urban anthropology and sociology as well as the ethnicity relationship. The practical contribution is to find a solution as in the one hand warteg is needed, but on the other hand warteg stands on the illegal land. Thus, this research will provide a description of what warteg is like in urban areas and can give a recommendation to the local government in order to make public policy for food providers.
