This research will explore the potency of strengthening the local socio cultural wisdom as a resource to envisage the nonmilitary threat in the Jagakarsa District, South Jakarta. Jakarta represents a heterogeneous city and its society lackingin awareness to preserve the local culture. This would lead to erosion on thefeeling of unity and the inadequacy of local culture utilization as nonmilitary defensive force. The theory used in this research is the anthropological theory from Koen tjaraningrat and traditional theory from Suwarsono. This research utilized qualitative research method and descriptive analysis to determine the obtrusive problem. The informants involved in this research are the institutions pertained to the society we encountered in District of Jagakarsa which we obtain through random sampling. The analysis of the obtained data indicates the local wisdom potential of Setu Babakan society still holds in the form of gotong-royong, tolerance, musyawarah but already not whole and the efforts to uphold the local wisdom as the means to face nonmilitary threat has to be initiated through the ritual of life cycle, tourism, education curriculum and activity of artistry.
