Abstract

In social life, of course, we cannot be separated from the so-called social layer or social stratification, whether we encounter it in urban or rural communities. There are things that are considered valuable in society that cause social layers in the community itself, be it wealth, position, lineage, land area or title. This research focused on pond farmers in the village of Mesjid Lama, Talawi District, Batu Bara Regency. Through this research, researchers want to see how the forms of stratification that occur among these pond farmers and also how social solidarity forms among these pond farmers. The method used in this research is a qualitative method with a descriptive approach. Data collection techniques are using in-depth interviews, observation and documentation. The informant determination technique is a purposive sampling technique. The data presented refers to the structural theory of functional stratification put forward by Wilbert Moore and Kingsley Davis as well as Emile Durkheim's theory of social solidarity, namely the aspect of the relationship between the pond farmers. The results of this study are the occurrence of a form of stratification caused by differences in the ownership of pond area and also the types of aquatic animals cultivated by pond farmers. Even so, the relationship between pond farmers remains harmonious between them and the creation of social solidarity, both mechanical and organic solidarity with one another, both pond workers and pond owners, pond owners and pond owners, pond workers and pond workers and as a whole the relationship between pond farmers is very good so as to form a social solidarity among the pond farmers.
