Regulation on worship house establishment and implication towards minority relation of religious people majority in Indonesia

Abstract

This study aims to determine the implications of regulations for building houses of worship for minority relations of most religious communities in Indonesia. Several studies have examined the implications of regulations regarding establishing places of worship for the relations of the majority of religious communities in Indonesia. The regulation appears to make it difficult for religious minorities to build houses of worship. This regulation has implications for religious disharmony and disruption of national unity and integrity. It is time for regulations related to development to be reviewed and refined so that relations between minority communities and majority religions can be adequately maintained, said the study. This research uses a qualitative approach.  It is time for regulations related to the construction of places of worship to be reviewed and refined so that relations between minorities and the majority of religious communities in Indonesia are well maintained.
