AB  - Based on the observation, the occupants of a housing are multicultural and rich with cultural
diversity it was assumed to be different both in the way they communicate and interact with each ethnic group
and it was certainly required adaptation of the respective ethnic groups. This study intends to determine"How
intercultural adaptation of various ethnic groups living in the Gending mas housing Pasirjati Bandung?". To
reveal this phenomenon the researchers used a qualitative research method by using symbolic interactionism
model. The researchers used purpossive sampling and three data collection techniques: observation, interview
and review of documentation. The research found that ethnic diversity in Gending mas housing came from
Sunda, Java, Batak, Padang, Madura, Toraja and Malays ethnic. Mutual adaptation has occurred among the
various ethnic groups as fellow immigrants who live in the housing. Mutual esteem and respect between ethnic
groups allowed each ethnic group to run their own cultures. Sundanese as the largest part of housing residents,
usually use Sundanese or Indonesian language when they were having dialogue. Javanese dialect and the use
of native language among them was more prominent when compared with other ethnic groups while other
ethnic groups more frequently using Indonesian when interacting internally (within the same ethnic group) as
well as with other ethnic. Relations between ethnic groups has so far proceeded without a hitch which means
each ethnicity has been mutually accepted other ethnic as it is. The conclusion of this study showed that
adaptation was going well, although Sundanese were the most numerous ethnic but at the level of the cultural
values projection they carried, it was more fluid and more flexible in the adaptation. The use of Sundanese
languange, verbally and nonverbally was not a dominant factor in the interaction process with other ethnic
groups.
