PENDAMPINGAN DESA RAMA AGUNG KECAMATAN ARGMAKMUR BENGKULU UTARA SEBAGAI MODEL DESA BERBASIS MODERASI BERAGAMA

Abstract

Within the framework of village development based on religious moderation, this study aims to strengthen the philosophy of pluralism and community-based approaches. Rama Agung Village in North Bengkulu Regency, which has been named a model village for religious tolerance and is renowned for its ethnic and religious diversity, is the subject of this study. This study employs qualitative methodology to map the pluralistic reality of the local community and formulate strategies for the development of a multicultural village based on community-based tourism. The Monument of Religious Harmony, the Panca Bineka House of Worship, and the Interfaith Cemetery are the three main components of the multicultural tourism destination concept that has been developed, according to the study's main findings. Interfaith social events, infrastructure development, and cooperation in cemetery maintenance are examples of guidance-based support. To foster harmony through community participation, this study analyses the patterns of support offered by the Ministry of Religion, the Interfaith Harmony Forum (FKUB), and the city government. The findings of this study show how the residents of Rama Agung Village have changed their perspective on the value of preserving diversity as a unifying factor in creating a friendly and peaceful community.
