Mengarusutamakan Kegiatan Asosiasional dan Diseminasi Gagasan Bagi Peningkatan Toleransi Umat Beragama Di Provinsi Kepulauan Bangka Belitung

This article presents an evaluative study of policies for managing religious harmony in the Bangka Belitung Islands Province. This province has an IKUB score that continues to improve every year. However, if we examine the scores for each dimension of harmony, the score for the tolerance dimension has always been below the other two dimensions, equality and cooperation, in the last five years. Several cases of intolerance that have occurred in the last three years are a strong reason why the tolerance score in this province's IKUB is below than two others. The author argue that these various policy and cultural potentials should be able to make the IKUB of the Bangka Belitung Islands Province be in one of the top positions by focusing religious harmony (KUB) management on increasing the dimensions of tolerance to support the dimensions of equality and cooperation that have been established quite well. This qualitative study using interview and observation methods seeks to comprehensively explore the dynamics of KUB management and problems in the area. The results of this study found that, although the condition of the KUB in the province is generally relatively well maintained, various cases of conflict, such as the rejection of the establishment of STiAKIN, emphasize why the tolerance score in the IKUB in the last five years has always been below the score for equality and cooperation. This article suggests changes to the policy on the use of the KUB management budget to better mainstream the development of associational activities and the dissemination of ideas about KUB in various print and digital media.
