Community welfare is an essential indicator in assessing the success of a region's development. The term "Madani" can be interpreted as "tamadhana", which refers to becoming civilized or building a society characterized by civility, civilization, and cultural development. This research proposes a civil society development theory to understand how local philosophical values can be integrated into the development process in Cirebon. Phenomenology is used to find out how the philosophy of "Ingsun Titip Tajug lan Fakir Miskin" put forward by Sunan Gunung Jati is understood and implemented. Data from in-depth interviews, observations, and literature studies were analyzed using NVivo 14 to categorize information related to civil values and integration to improve welfare in society. The research results show that integration can be carried out by holding joint deliberations between all relevant stakeholders, namely the government, the palace, religious leaders, cultural figures, and the community. This deliberation aims to formulate regional regulations related to Sunan Gunung Jati's philosophy of caring for people experiencing poverty so that they can be ratified in formal legal form so that they can support the implementation of strategies and empowerment programs to improve the welfare of the people of Cirebon.
