Local Wisdom and Regional Autonomy in Addressing Interreligious Conflict in Central Lombok
Indonesia, as an archipelagic nation, is characterized by a rich diversity of languages, traditions, religions, and cultures. Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, exemplifies this plurality, with a Muslim majority living alongside Christian, Catholic, Hindu, Buddhist, Confucian, and other religious communities. Despite a relatively high tolerance index ranging from 3.5 to 3.7 over the past five years, the potential for interreligious conflict persists, indicating unresolved socio-political tensions. This study seeks to (1) identify and analyze the factors that trigger interreligious disintegration in Central Lombok; (2) examine the extent to which current regional autonomy policies incorporate local wisdom in preventing conflict; and (3) propose a contextual model for integrating local cultural values into policy frameworks to enhance social cohesion. A qualitative approach was employed, combining observation, in-depth interviews, Findings reveal that religious tension in Central Lombok is rooted in structural inequalities, insufficient interfaith dialogue, and the marginalization of traditional values in governance. While local wisdom has historically functioned as a cohesive force, it remains underutilized in current regional policies. The SLR further exposes a gap in the literature, where governance and indigenous culture are rarely treated as integrative tools for peacebuilding. This study’s novelty lies in its interdisciplinary framework that bridges local wisdom with regional autonomy policy, offering practical insights for conflict prevention in multicultural contexts.

Indonesia is an archipelagic country that has a diversity of traditions, languages, religions, cultures, and others. West Nusa Tenggara, one of the provinces in Indonesia also has a diversity of religions, traditions, and cultures. Central Lombok, has quite significant religious diversity, where Muslims are the majority of adherents of Islam among minorities, such as Christians, Catholics, Hindus, Buddhists, and Confucians, as well as adherents of other beliefs. However, the achievement of the tolerance index there over the past five years has been high, ranging from 3.5 - 3.7. Even so, the potential for inter-religious conflict still exists in Central Lombok. The problems of this study: (1) What factors trigger inter-religious disintegration in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara? (2) How does the current regional autonomy policy in Central Lombok accommodate local wisdom as a preventive strategy for inter-religious conflict? (3) What is an effective approach model in integrating local wisdom into regional autonomy policy to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. The purpose of this study is to identify and analyze the factors that trigger inter-religious disintegration in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, analyze and review the current regional autonomy policy in Central Lombok in accommodating local wisdom as a preventive strategy for religious conflict, and formulate an effective approach model in integrating local wisdom into regional autonomy policy to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Data collection techniques use observation, in-depth interviews, SLR, and documentation. The collected data will be processed using SLR. The objectives of this study are to map the main factors causing inter-religious disintegration there, to compile an in-depth analysis of regional autonomy policies in Central Lombok related to the accommodation of local wisdom, and to recommend a local wisdom-based approach model that can be effectively integrated into regional autonomy policies to prevent inter-religious conflict in Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

Background: Garbage is a major issue in many countries throughout the world, including Indonesia. Every year, the amount of waste produced rises in tandem with population growth. As a result, it is vital to manage liquid fertilizer made from household waste, which will aid in the reduction of community problems. The general public still has little knowledge of how liquid fertilizer is made from household garbage. This study aimed to increase community understanding and practice through training and help in the processing of household trash into liquid organic fertilizer in the tourist village of Bonjeruk, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara. Subjects and Method: This was a cross-sectional study conducted in the tourist village of Bonjeruk, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, from March to December 2021. A total of 27 subjects were selected in this study. The variables in this study were knowledge and behavior. The training in management household waste into organic liquid fertilizer was carried out for 4 months. The stages of intervention were as follows: 1) Education and simulation of sorting organic and non-organic waste; 2) Separating vegetable and fruit waste from rice, meat, and bone residue. Vegetable and fruit waste was transferred into composer barrels; 3) Spraying diluted bio-activator every time they enter organic waste; 4) Filling cans continuously with garbage; 5) Every 14th day, the liquid fertilizer can be harvested; 6) Liquid fertilizer can be used after being left for 14 days outside the composer barrel by dilution. The data were collected by questionnaire and analyzed descriptively. Results: After 4 months of training, the community was able to process liquid fertilizer from the use of compost barrel and natural bio-activators from household waste. Community knowledge related to liquid fertilizer after training (Mean= 91.48; SD= 11.12) was higher than before training (Mean= 85.56; SD= 12.57). Household waste management practice after training (Mean= 94.07; SD= 11.94) was better than before training (Mean= 45.93; SD= 22.32). Conclusion: Community knowledge and practice increase after going through training in processing household waste into liquid organic fertilizer in the tourist village of Bonjeruk, Central Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

Child marriage remains a deeply rooted socio-cultural issue in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, where traditional customs, religious authority, and economic hardship intersect. This study investigates how Sasak customary law (awiq-awiq) and the roles of local religious figures, Kyai and Tuan Guru, contribute to both the persistence and potential transformation of early marriage practices. Using a qualitative approach involving interviews, participant observation, and document analysis across three regencies, Central Lombok, West Lombok, and East Lombok, the research finds that cultural traditions such as merarik kodeq (a customary elopement practice) are still widely accepted as mechanisms to preserve family honor and reduce economic burden. Although national legal frameworks, specifically Law No. 16 of 2019 on Marriage and West Nusa Tenggara Regional Regulation No. 5 of 2021 on the Prevention of Child Marriage, set a minimum legal age of 19, implementation remains weak due to widespread use of religious court dispensations and cultural resistance. Findings show that while some customary and religious leaders continue to legitimize child marriage, an increasing number have begun to reinterpret awiq-awiq in line with contemporary health, educational, and religious considerations. Village-level forums (musyawarah desa) are emerging as strategic spaces for negotiating alignment between formal legal norms and local wisdom. This study develops a culturally embedded integration model that emphasizes participatory governance, moral legitimacy, and the co-production of legal norms. It offers empirical insight into the resilience of early marriage in culturally entrenched settings. It contributes a conceptual model for rethinking legal pluralism as a framework for reform through collaboration, not confrontation. These findings expand current scholarship by repositioning customary and religious authority as key agents in adaptive and community-driven legal transformation.

A myriad of traditions underlie the local wisdom of Sasak tribe (the indigenous people in Lombok), namely tradisi merarik (wedding), nenarih (proposing), sorong serah ajikrame (dowry negotiation), langar, begawe (party) , banjar (the community body), begibung (eating together), berayan mangan (eating together), and nyongkolan (wedding parade). Such local customs in general entail the value of mutual concession or tolerance, compassion, dependency, social solidarity, sympathy, communal work for peace, and prosperity. The local wisdoms are strongly relevant to the theory of chemical bonding such as electrostatic stability and configuration, the positive and negative ions, theory of chemical bond formation, polar and nonpolar covalent, coordinate covalent bond, metal bonding, and intermolecular forces comprising hydrogen and Van der Waals bond. The interface and relevance of both are actualized in the religious and social values of Sasak Lombok tradition equivalent to the theory of chemical bonding. Therefore, this paper demonstrates that the theory of chemical bonding is strongly relevantly associated with the tradition of local Islamic wisdom of Sasak Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara.

The rapid development of global tourism involves various social aspects, including the local wisdom of a nation. In tourism, local wisdom holds a dual role: on one hand, it adds cultural depth and uniqueness to tourism promotion; on the other, it faces the threat of degradation due to the influence of Western values brought by foreign tourists. This study investigates the role of local wisdom in the development of tourism law in Lombok, a region designated as a National Strategic Project in tourism. The research was conducted in the Kuta Mandalika Special Economic Zone, Central Lombok, and analyzed using a normative-empirical approach. The results showed that local wisdom can significantly influence tourism law, particularly in legal substance, structure, legal culture, and dispute resolution mechanisms. Implementing tourism law development policies based on local wisdom can help preserve tourism assets, transform local wisdom into regional regulations, resolve disputes, and improve tourism safety and order. This research is expected to contribute significantly to future legal frameworks, underscoring the importance of integrating local knowledge into formal legal systems, ensuring cultural heritage preservation and sustainable tourism advancement.

Structure and composition of mangrove vegetation in the coastal area of Mandalika International Street Circuit, Central Lombok, Indonesia. Biodiversitas 25: 2719-2728. Mangrove is one of the coastal vegetation that has an ecological role as a buffer for essential areas such as the Mandalika International Street Circuit Special Economic Zone located around the coastal area of Central Lombok District, West Nusa Tenggara, Indonesia. This research, conducted with a rigorous methodology, aims to determine the current condition of the diversity of mangrove vegetation and their vegetation structure as a buffer ecosystem in the Mandalika International Street Circuit area, West Nusa Tenggara. The study utilized the quadrant transect method, a widely accepted approach, with plots measuring 2×2 m2 (seedling strata), 5×5 m2 (sapling strata), 10×10 m2 (pole strata), and 20×20 m2 (tree strata). The total number of observation plots was 49 measuring plots in a total area of the mangrove ecosystem of 38.68 ha. The research results showed that four families and five genera were found consisting of 11 species of mangroves: Avicennia alba Blume, Avicennia lanata Ridl., Avicennia marina (Forssk.) Vierh., Ceriops tagal (Perr.) C.B.Rob., Rhizophora apiculata Blume, Rhizophora mucronata Lam., Rhizophora stylosa Griffith, Scyphiphora hydrophyllaceae C.F.Gaertn., Sonneratia alba Sm., Sonneratia caseolaris (L.) Engl., and Sonneratia ovata Backer. Rhizophora apiculata is the species with the highest density in the strata of seedlings (261 individuals/ha), saplings (312 individuals/ha), poles (444 individuals/ha), and trees (160 individuals/ha); this condition is in line with the importance value index R. apiculata with the highest values in seedlings (105.21%), saplings (89.14%), poles (129.61%), and trees (119.60%). Shannon-Wiener diversity index in the mangrove ecosystem in the Mandalika International Street Circuit is in the quite good category with an even diversity value with an H' value of no less than 1 (1.425).

Complementary feeding practice (CFP) contributes to high incidence of stunting in West Nusa Tenggara especially in Central Lombok. The complementary feeding program for infants and children was launched by government as a strategy to combat stunting in order to realize the <i>Generasi Emas NTB 2025</i>. For this reason, the provision of complementary feeding has been introduced into maternal and child health book (MCH), but has not met all WHO recommendations. This interventional, quasi experimental, pre-post test design study, aimed to develop board game as an educational media about stunting and CFP and to assess its effectiveness to increase parents' knowledge, attitude and practice (KAP) regarding CFP in Central Lombok as stunting locus. This study located at Sukadana village that was selected randomly. Subjects were parents of children aged 6-12 months old whom met inclusion and exclusion criteria. KAP assessment was conducted by using validated questionnaire, which was carried out before and after GiMPASI intervention, educational game. From 42 subjects involved in this study we found significant differences both in knowledge scores about complementary food (CF) feeding pre and post intervention (3.43±1.70 vs 4.83±1.64; p=0.001) and in attitude scores (10.55±2.77 vs. 12.33±2.67; p=0.002). Likewise, there was an increase in CFP score between pretest (25.90±4.75) and post test (26.12±4.74), but didnt different significantly in <i>paired t-test</i> analysis (p=0.79). GiMPASI can be used as an effective educational media to increase parents' knowledge and attitude regarding stunting and CFP. GiMPASI can be developed as part of infant and child complementary feeding against stunting.

Background and purpose: Early marriage through merariq or eloping tradition is a common practice in West Nusa Tenggara particularly in Central Lombok. Early marriage leads to several negative consequences on the reproductive health of female adolescents. This study aims to explore early marriage practices and its impacts on the reproductive health of female adolescents in Central Lombok. Methods: A qualitative study with a case study approach was conducted, and seven early married female adolescents purposively selected as the study participants. Interviews were also conducted with two family members of the female adolescents, one community leader, and a midwife who worked as an adolescent health coordinator at a public health centre. Data were analyzed using a thematic approach to map the reasons for early marriage and its impacts on the reproductive health of female adolescents. Results: Our in-depth interviews revealed that several reasons associated to early marriage practices were: lacking in knowledge regarding the effects of early marriages, perceived benefits of early marriages including perception on maturity and logical thinking, and social sanctions from the society because it considered a disgrace when the eloped girl returned home. Several negative consequences of early marriages emerged from this study were complicated pregnancy/delivery, low birth weight, and undernourished children. Our informants concerned about the psychological effects of early marriages which include fear, regret, and depression. Eloped female adolescents lose their agency for decision making including the right for further education. Conclusions: Early marriage practices bring negative health consequences to female adolescents. An active collaboration across health sector and community leaders is required to provide sufficient information regarding the harmful effects of early marriages. Also, a more effective communication strategy using a family-based approach is required to appropriately target female adolescents with health information associated with the impacts of early marriage.
