Sumbersuko Village, located near Malang City, reflects the dynamics of cultural transformation in Javanese rural communities. Traditionally, this village maintained strong kinship and social cohesion through soyo, a ritual of mutual cooperation (gotong royong) that embodies the values of guyub (togetherness) and rukun (harmony). However, over the past decade, participation in soyo has significantly declined. This study aims to explore the changing nature of soyo as a social ritual and its implications for community solidarity. The analysis is based on qualitative field observation and participatory engagement within Ngemplak Hamlet, where familial ties remain strong yet cultural practices have weakened. The findings indicate that the decline of soyo is driven by occupational shifts from agriculture to urban labor, limited community interaction time, and the fading enforcement of social norms and sanctions. As a result, the weakening of the soyo symbolizes a broader erosion of collective identity and traditional values within Javanese society. This study highlights the urgency of cultural revitalization and adaptive community
