Abstract
This study aims to analyze the contribution of local traditions to the development of an entrepreneurial thought model at Darul Fatah Islamic Boarding School, Sendayan, Kampar, Riau. This pesantren integrates local traditions into all aspects of boarding school life, which play a significant role in shaping entrepreneurial mindsets among students. The study employed a qualitative method with a case study design, supported by phenomenological and social practice approaches to examine the implementation and development of entrepreneurial thought within the pesantren. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and documentation, and were analyzed using interactive thematic analysis techniques. The findings reveal that local traditions, such as the practices of Bajambau communal dining, Batobo mutual cooperation, Kenduri Soko tradition, and Kampar traditional martial arts, actively contribute to the development of students’ entrepreneurial character, as reflected in independence, creativity, and risk-taking attitudes. The integration of local traditions into the pesantren curriculum has proven to strengthen entrepreneurial values grounded in local wisdom and Islamic principles. These findings provide important insights into the significance of integrating local traditions in fostering entrepreneurship development within Islamic boarding schools.
