Agama dalam perspektif sosiologis sering muncul dalam dua wajah ganda, yaitu sebagai sumber konflik sekaligus sumber bina-damai. Faktanya, sulit dihindari bahwa adanya pemahaman yang menguatkan eskalasi konflik bersumber dari pemahaman ajaran agama, begitu juga sebaliknya proses bina-damai. Dalam konstruksi masyarakat Jawa, konflik dan bina-damai juga memiliki kekuatan dan kelemahannya masing-masing. Setidaknya dalam riset ini ditemukan bahwa masyarakat Jawa lebih memilih hidup rukun daripada konflik. Watak yang demikian mendominasi alam berpikir masyarakat Jawa. Oleh karena itu, bangunan tentang kedamaian mewujud tidak hanya dengan manusia melainkan juga dengan alam. Banyaknya prosesi ritualistik yang dibangun dalam sistem budaya menunjukkan bahwa orang Jawa senantiasa ingin berdamai dengan semua makhluk yang ada di alam raya.Kata kunci: Konflik, bina-damai, masyarakat Jawa, integrasi.

Cultural sustainability refers to inter-and intra-generation access to cultural heritage. The sustainability of non-material culture is complex because it is related to the experiences of cultural groups and is built by actors in their daily lives. Cultural sustainability is important for the diaspora community because it is an attempt to maintain their cultural identity in their communities while not completely losing contact with cultural elements in their ancestral lands. This paper discusses the strategies used by Muslim Tamils ​​in Medan, North Sumatra, The Muslim Tamils ​​in Indonesia use mainly informal strategies in the process of preserving culture. However, technological advances that have increased the ease of travel and communication have also enhanced the communication and closeness of these two communities with other Tamil communities around the world and have helped further the sustainability of art, language, culinary and religious practices. Muslim Tamils ​​in Medan are experiencing a crisis of identity as Tamils ​​because they are Muslim and many cultural identities conflict with Islamic teachings. Cross-ethnic marriage, assimilation with the non-Tamil community is strong enough to influence changes in cultural orientation, the identity that is still embedded in the Tamil Muslim community can only be found in weddings, culinary and some cultural adaptation practices. At the same time, as citizens of descent, they face the construction of a citizenship identity, becoming Tamils ​​who live in Indonesia or become Indonesians as ethnic Tamils.

This study aims to show the tendency of urban Muslim communities in the city of Medan in choosing primary schools for children. The number of Islamic schools in Medan City continues to grow. The type of Islamic education that is developing is the Integrated Islamic School (SIT). SIT emerged as a response to the urban Muslim community. Its presence fulfills the wishes of previous Islamic education institutions, such as Islamic boarding schools, madrasas and public schools. The focus of the study looks at the role of the SIT religious authority in shaping teaching so that SIT's ability to compete with schools and Madrasahs affiliated with the NU, Muhammadiyyah, Al-Washliyah, and Al-Ittihadiyah organizations in terms of both curriculum and managerial aspects. The research method used is qualitative naturalistic. The main finding of this research is that the religious authority formed from the learning process at SIT leads to certain groups and ideologies affiliated with the Tarbiyah group. Its religious development indicates that the taste for Islamic education in urban communities leads to SIT which has an integrated curriculum. The managerial system is more modern in use because it is integrated with the existence of quality management in the administrative system that combines the managerial systems of the Ministry of Education and the Ministry of Religion, which are not owned by madrasah or pesantren institutions. The SIT curriculum model is successful in responding to the sociological needs of the urban Muslim community between the needs of religious and general teaching which is also a place to 'entrust' children all day because SIT uses a fullday curriculum model system.AbstrakPenelitian ini bertujuan untuk menunjukkan kecenderungan masyarakat muslim urban di kota Medan dalam memilih sekolah dasar bagi anak-anak.
