Abstrak
Religious social conflict is a recurring phenomenon in multicultural societies, including the City of Bandar Lampung, which is characterised by a high level of religious diversity. This study aims to analyse community-based conflict management through the role of the Forum for Religious Harmony in addressing religious conflicts in Bandar Lampung, particularly those related to the establishment of houses of worship. This research employs a descriptive qualitative method with a literature study approach. Data analysis is conducted using the perspectives of community-based conflict management and social capital theory. The findings indicate that the Forum for Religious Harmony plays a significant role in facilitating interreligious dialogue, mediating conflicts over the establishment of houses of worship, and fostering social understanding within the community. By strengthening interreligious trust, utilising networks of religious leaders, and producing shared norms of tolerance, religious conflicts can be managed without violence or social escalation. This study concludes that the community-based approach implemented by the Forum for Religious Harmony is more effective in managing the social dimensions of religious conflict than purely administrative approaches, although continued policy support and synergy with local government are required to ensure the sustainability of conflict resolution efforts.
