Abstract: Tengger's farming behavior is a manifestation of Tengger's values on his tegal land. The values of the land in their minds have the dimension that the land as a sacred place as the embodiment of the Earth, the land as a place where the Gods and ancestral spirits reside; land as a means of worshiping the ancestors with the obligation to always cultivate it to produce a tuwur tuhur, then anchored at Bromo when Kasada as the supernatural orders of the ancestors who have sacrificed to save all children of Tengger descent. The Tengger community as an open society, especially now also as an open area because of the ease of achieving transportation to Bromo as a tourism destination, of course there will be opportunities for relationships between people from Tengger and outside Tengger, where the relationship will also affect the pattern of thinking and acting, including is the intersection of how to farm with information, technology, and new agricultural commodities. This will inevitably lead to conflict or encounter between traditional Tengger values and these new values. This study aims to: reveal and describe the farming behavior of the Tengger Society as legal behavior in supporting the defense of legal culture on land, analyze, and explain the changes in farming behavior in the Tengger community and their influence on the Tengger legal culture. This research was conducted using techniques: in-depth interviews, observations (observations) that focused on certain things that were considered important and relevant to the problems studied and literature studies. Innovations that support agricultural policy have become the main trigger for environmental damage in Tengger, policies implemented by not first understanding community values are pushing towards the erosion of Tengger's values of respect for land, and this is the essence of the cause damage to tegal lands in Tengger. Weak village authority on the one hand also affects the use of land in addition to agricultural purposes/tegal by outsiders Tengger (for tourism). Legal strategies that can be developed to overcome changes in farming behavior that can have implications for the most important legal culture are through the cultural/cultural approach itself. The tengger man has strong ties to his village, strong social ties are based on the similarity of customs, religion, and land. This bond creates togetherness and mutual cooperation.
