Gotong-royong is one of the characteristics that is still inherent in the life of Indonesian society. Broadly speaking, gotong royong is contained in Pancasila in the third precept which reads Unity of Indonesia.
Gotong royong is ingrained and even becomes the personality of the nation, as well as a culture that is deeply rooted in people's lives. In addition, as part of social life, almost all regions in Indonesia instill the value of gotong royong.
Gotong-royong comes from the word gotong which means work and royong means together.
