摘要：This research aims to identify the self construction and communicating acts amongst the vagrants while doing their daily activities as vagrant in Jakarta.The method used for this research was a qualitative method with phenomenologist paradigm which aims to understand human behaviors from an experimental subject perspective.The observation used an in-depth interview technique as well as participant’s observation technique.This study is known as an emic study to further identify self construction based on ideographic analysis which aims to give a brief description regarding self communicating acts among vagrants.Result from this analysis will not be quantified nor generalized with other cases.Result shows that vagrants,especially those who have the same profession,tend to share the area of work in order to avoid conflicts among them.Description from the subject in establishing communication with other vagrants is done by sharing area of expertise from himself and other vagrants.Results also showed that almost all the subjects tend to close their “darker” side from others who don’t know that they are vagrants by impression management.These people came into existence not only because of a poor culture which shows nomadic type of living habit,but it’s also because of the structure and vast majority which sees them with a negative stigma for every type of occupation they choose including a forced action because they were left without any choices other than being a vagrant.
其他摘要：Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengidentifikasi pembentukan konsep diri tunawisma saat mereka melakukan kegiatan sehari-hari mereka sebagai tunawisma di pusat kota Jakarta.Metode yang digunakan untuk penelitian ini adalah metode kualitatif dengan paradigma fenomenologi yang bertujuan untuk memahami perilaku manusia dari perspektif eksperimental.Hasil menunjukkan bahwa tunawisma,terutama mereka yang memiliki profesi yang sama,cenderung berbagi wilayah kerja untuk menghindari konflik di antara mereka.Tunawisma juga berbagi bidang keahlian satu sama lain.Hasil menunjukkan bahwa mereka menutupi sisi “gelap” mereka dari orang lain yang tidak tahu bahwa mereka adalah gelandangan melalui manajemen kesan.Orang-orang ini muncul bukan hanya karena budaya miskin yang menyebabkan mereka hidup nomaden,tetapi juga karena struktur dan mayoritas yang melihat mereka dengan stigma negatif untuk setiap jenis pekerjaan mereka pilih.Mereka juga menjadi gelandakan karena terpaksa,tidak ada pilihan lain.
