This research wants to answer the question of how the dynamics of conflict over the establishment of houses of worship in Pondok Aren. This research is classified as a qualitative-case study using a sociological approach. Data collection methods are done through interviews, observation and literature study. The theory used borrows Ralf Dahrendorf's conflict theory. The results showed that there are several factors behind this conflict, namely: the lack of socialization about the rules of the establishment of houses of worship. Lack of communication between the two parties related to the establishment socialization. There is a third party interest. There are concerns from local residents about missionization. Although FKUB and the Police Chief have attempted to mediate, the resistance of the objectors is still an obstacle in resolving the conflict.
