Abstract

This study aims to explore the efficacy of Buton cultural values in preventing and prosecuting corruption within Indonesia, with a specific focus on Southeast Sulawesi Province and the Buton Islands. Recognizing the pervasive nature of corruption, the research underscores the necessity for robust anti-corruption strategies and educational models tailored to the unique cultural contexts of Indonesian regions. Using a qualitative approach, including interviews and ethnographic observations, the study examines how the intrinsic wisdom of Butonese cultural values can be leveraged as a potent instrument in the fight against corruption. By integrating these cultural values into anti-corruption initiatives, the research highlights a culturally resonant approach to fostering integrity and accountability.
