Introduction: In the village of Solar, there is an unwritten rule that prevents villagers from selling land to non-natives. This rule has root in a network of moral and social beliefs, to the extent that many residents consider land sales a kind of "betrayal of the collective heritage." The aforementioned rule is not limited to land ownership by non-indigenous individuals, but also includes government ownership in development projects and excludes state ownership. The most important questions are what mechanisms have led to the perpetuation of this rule and what its relationship is to the market, power, and identity in the village square.
Method: This study adopts a qualitative, exploratory case study approach. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews with 13 local actors, as well as field observation and informal conversations to grasp the underlying social contexts and hidden functions of the rule.
Findings: The final analysis reveals that the prohibition of land sale is not a remnant of a static tradition, but the result of a new configuration of ethical relationships, power dynamics, economic pressures, and collective memory. In this sense, it may be regarded as a modern ethical institution emerging within a process of local resistance to market forces. Contrary to initial assumptions, this rule not only produces solidarity but also, in some cases, operates as a tool of domination.
Results: The rule prohibiting the sale of land to non-natives reflects the entanglement of collective conscience (Durkheim) and the embeddedness of the economy within the local community (Polanyi), while at the same time transforming it into an instrument of symbolic domination (Bourdieu). This rule is both a preserver of the village’s collective identity and a site of tension between livelihood, morality, and power.
