This study deals with what kinds of cultural complications foreign laborers suffer from and how the adaptive aspect is revealed. Especially, the study concentrates on the Indonesian laborers' social network, social relationship, reciprocity, religion, and social capital. For the most of the foreign laborers in Korea, a visible community has not been made concretely; but they show an aspect to fill out the lost parts in their lives by using of adaptive strategies to adapt themselves to Korean society.
Having nothing to do with the distance, they has kept on their racial group even though they have lived in Korea separatedly. Starting with these disputed points, this study can be summarized as follows;
First, the study provides that the Indonesian laborer's cultural complication has an important meaning to form the image of Korea to them and the cultural deferment phenomenon that Korean recognition for other nations still remains in a self-centeredness. In addition, the duplicity shown in the Indonesian labors' adaptive way can be explained by the cultural logicality to be adaptive by a meaningful correspondence. Therefore it is clear that the limitation of partial view tries to restore many phenomenons caused by a cultural complication to a simple adaptation.
Secondly, for the indonesian laborers, a social network, a social a relationship, a reciprocity, religion, and a social capital are the adaptation strategies to be adapted in Korean society. These have an important meaning in their lives. In other words, these adaptation strategies have a compounded effect on which they adapt in Korean society, and make an important role in that their lives in Korea are culturally reconstructed and then fill out the lost parts.
Thirdly, the Indonesian laborers have not made a visible community in Korean society, but have utilized a adaptation strategy with feeling cultural differences in Korean society. Especially, their religion, Islam becomes an important factor to be adapted in Korean society. Therefore, through these adaptation strategies, their cultural identification can be confirmed and then shows a possibility of grouping.
This subject can showed not only the possibility of grouping formation of Indonesian laborers in order to be adapted in Korean society, but also the current events on the discussion about a geographical concentration and a formation of massive occupation site. Hereafter, the study of foreign laborers will be important because the position and policy of Korean Government for the foreign laborers have been changed and their cultural aspect and character will not be fixed.
