Indonesia is a large country in Southeast Asia, with 37 provinces, 276 million people, and 1,340 ethnic groups. Of the many ethnic groups, conflict is motivated by many things. The problem raised in this study is social conflict, namely the conflict between local wisdom in society and local government regulations. This study aims to describe how local wisdom can resolve social and regulatory disputes at the local level. In understanding the research problem, this study chose the Minangkabau ethnic group in West Sumatra Province. The research method used is the SLR, which defines three relevant articles supported by the N-Vivo 12 tool. The research results show that conflict resolution through local wisdom is the community's choice because it is more accessible, efficient, and faster than government regulations (court). This study found 20 critical factors in conflict resolution: strong will and cultural values, deliberation and consensus, democracy, impartiality, leadership, cooperation, mutual respect, openness, security values, religious values, service orientation, shared values, tolerance values, and customary values. In addition, the six sub-factors reflect democratic values, which are reflected in the implementation of case registration, mutual deliberations, consensus, efficiency, governance, and the burden of expressing opinions by choosing the path of peace, transparency, and honesty. The critical factor lies in deliberation and consensus and is resolved early.
