Abstract
The application of geospatial analysis is a need to respond to the increasing number of social conflicts caused by the existence of public places of worships (PPW) in Indonesia. This conflict eventually becomes endemic among Indonesian cross-cultural society. Even though the government has produced a regulation-like policy namely SKB 2006 to manage the establishment of PPW, its contribution to avoiding or reducing the conflicts is in question. Researchers notice that the policy is misused in some incidents to even trigger the conflict. It is due to the presence of people participation defined in SKB 2006 particularly to determine the legalization of PPW. Currently there is no exact foundation used by the government to precisely measure the status of PPW, hence the decision to permit or reject any proposal to establish PPW is determined by the acceptance of surrounding society which in many occasions becomes the cause of the conflict. Therefore the government needs to regain control over the existence of PPW since these types of buildings are public facilities used by people in cross-cultural society. The research is to provide accurate information regarding the existence of PPW and the impact of their presence using geospatial analysis. The objective is to analyze the interaction between PPW and its surrounding objects. The analysis is based on PPW coverage, overlapping and blank spot area. A case study has been conducted to analyze the existence of PPW at Cemorokandang village, a part of Malang city in the province of East Java. The application highlights the issue of overwhelming PPW in the location of analysis.

Summary
Social conflicts due to the problem for establishing public places of worships (PPW) such as the mosques and the churches have been causing many incidents in Indonesia. According to the survey of CRCS from 2008 to 2011, the causes of PPW conflicts are varied as active PPW was forced to close by a group of local residents, the permit of PPW was withdrawn by local authority, the owner of the building where PPW operates changed the function of the building for commercial businesses, and even illegal destruction of PPW facilities was done by some religious fanatics All of these incidents have commonly been assessed by using SKB 2006 regarding their legal aspects and whether the parties involved in the conflict had conducted appropriate or inappropriate action. Developing correct spatial technology becomes a vital approach towards settling PPW conflict in an objective manner
