Abstract

This study analyzes the dynamics of interreligious relations between the Hindu and Muslim communities in Batu Gambir, Julah Village, Tejakula District, Buleleng Regency, Bali. The focus of this research lies in understanding how the social, spiritual, and moral-economic practices of the community create sustainable social harmony and how these conditions can be utilized as a source for developing Social Studies (IPS) learning in Junior High Schools (SMP). This study employs a qualitative approach with an interpretive ethnographic method. Data were collected through participatory observation, in-depth interviews, and documentation studies. The findings indicate that social harmony in Batu Gambir is formed through symbolic interactions involving interreligious rituals, trust-based economic cooperation, and adaptive local leadership. The local social structure and spirituality function as cohesive mechanisms that reinforce interreligious solidarity. These values hold high relevance for social studies education, particularly in fostering multicultural awareness, tolerance, and a spirit of mutual cooperation among students.
