This research will answer the question of what form of non-material cultures includes values, norms and regulations for the people of Jaton Village, and how are the values, norms and beliefs passed on to the next generation. The method used is qualitative with case study approach through observation and in-depth interview. The results showed that the Jaton community still holds an ancestral culture originating from Java.

However, the most obvious thing to hold firmly is the norm of Islamic teachings which is their belief.
