Digital transformation accelerates changes in patterns of interaction, access to information, and cultural practices, but also creates inequality, disorientation of values, and social vulnerability in contemporary communities. This research aims to analyze people's experiences in building human-centered social resilience through digital and cultural adaptation. The research used a qualitative approach with semi-structured interviews with 20 purposively selected informants, consisting of community leaders, youth, educators, business actors, and community managers. The data was analyzed using thematic analysis through coding, categorization, and theme interpretation. The results show that digital literacy, participatory leadership, solidarity, social inclusion, and preservation of local values are the main factors for strengthening resilience. These findings underscore the importance of inclusive, contextual, and culturally sensitive digital transformation for community sustainability
