What relatively absent in the literature is how these ethnic phenomena could be affected by charity aids, in particular the relocation of illegal settlements. By adopting the anthropological methods of interviews and observation in the community, this paper highlights the effects of a river cleaning project activated in 2002 by Indonesia Tzu Chi Foundation with special efforts focusing on the significant change among the Indonesian economically disadvantaged residents relocated in a new community in ethnic attitudes toward and social distance with the Chinese in general and Tzu Chi volunteers in particular and demonstrates that the charity program has benefited to the residents and, in the meantime, helped to improve the once deteriorated interethnic relationship and religious attitudes between the Muslims and Chinese in Indonesian. It also testifies to Pierre Bourdieu's perspective of practice that the NGOs could become a sort of cultural capital to bridge a mutual understanding of dramatically different peoples who may otherwise violently confronted.}, publisher = {Society for Social Management Systems}, title = {Toward a Holistic Development : The Effects of Tzu Chi Foundation's Charity Aid in a Relocation Project in Jarkata}, volume = {8}, year = {2012} }
