- Abstract
This article analyzes the spiritual life of the Co Ho people in Lam Dong Province through occasional festive activities using the approach of urbanization theory. To clarify the changes of their spiritual life through festival activities, the author focuses on the changes through the activities: buffalo slaughtering festival, new rice festival, Gong festival, Christmas celebrations, new year celebration of the Co Ho people in the field site. There are many reasons for the changes in their spiritual life, namely the development of a market economy, the process of industrialization and modernization, especially the process of urbanization. Sociologists, when analyzing urbanization theory, normally emphasize economic growth, industrial development, migration, population and demographic change but do not pay attention to spiritual life. The results of this research are the foundation to propose measures to preserve and promote the cultural identity of the Co Ho people in particular and ethnic minorities in general. Within the scope of the article, we focus on three aspects: (1) General overview of Co Ho people in Lam Dong and the theory of urbanization, (2) Changes in cultural and spiritual life through festival activities under urbanization theory, (3) Conservation and promotion of traditional cultural values through festival activities.
