Abstract

The research aims to conduct policy analysis on empowering ethnic communities in building social harmony—the research conducted in the transmigrant area of Lampung. The research method used is qualitative research. Data collection techniques were carried out through field observations and documentary studies. The findings reveal that government policies have an essential role to play in building the empowerment of ethnic communities in creating a much better social harmony. However, in the field, this has encountered various obstacles and challenges. Social harmonization constrains by anti-social behavior. Debates in different social communities and the lack of guidance and socialization on the empowerment of ethnic communities are practical and efficient. However, the social structure of Lampung transmigrants, which was built based on the principles of cooperation, openness, tolerance, and healthy competence, led to much better empowerment of ethnic communities. The implication of this research is to provide input on the policy direction of stakeholders in formulating strategies for empowering ethnic communities to build social harmony, avoid conflicts between ethnic groups, and create social welfare in Indonesia.
