Abstract

The research of Meinarno, Menaldi, and Triyono (2015) shows the cognitive map of Indonesian Indonesian adolescent is lacking. Map making can not be separated from the understanding of Indonesian territoriality for its citizens. In the political realm of this understanding is known as wawasan nusantara. Researchers then adopted the idea of Wawasan Nusantara and submitted its measurements. The purpose of this study is to examine the relationship between Pancasila and Wawasan Nusantara. This is proposed because their relationship is always within the ideological political corridor, whereas on the scientific side the relationship of both must be provable. This research has a quantitative approach. Measurement of Pancasila by using the National Value scale consisting of five values (religio-tolerance, humanity, patriotism-unity, democracy, and social justice). Measurement of Wawasan Nusantara insight using Wantar17 scale. Based on the correlation test, it was found that all values correlated positively and significantly with the Wawasan Nusantara. The details are the religio-tolerance r (62) = 0.455, p <0.001, the humanitarian value r (62) = 0.246, p <0.001, the patriotism-unity value r (62) = 0.794, p <0.001, the democratic value r 62) = 0.441, p <0.001, and humanitarian value r (62) = 0.628, p <0.001. The strongest relation is on the value of patriotism-unity or third value. This is natural because the love of the region and see it as a unity will only be realized in the real concept of the Wawasan Nusantara. This finding becomes a socio-psychological empirical breakthrough in looking at the concepts of Indonesian nationhood that had been only a conversation without any empirical evidence in it.
