<![CDATA[Indonesia, as a diverse society, has the potential for conflict if that diversity is not managed with a strong commitment to tolerance. This study aims to describe tolerance education strategies based on local wisdom and analyze the supporting and inhibiting factors in urban communities in the Karang Bata Utara environment, Mataram City. The research uses a qualitative approach with a case study design. Data were collected through non-participant observation, semi-structured interviews, and documentation, with informants consisting of community leaders, religious figures, traditional leaders, youth, and local residents. The results show that tolerance education primarily occurs not through formal institutions but through social processes in daily life. Three main strategies were identified: role modeling by community leaders, the use of public spaces as social learning media, and the involvement of youth in social-religious activities. Local wisdom practices such as mutual cooperation (gotong royong), deliberation (musyawarah), helping each other (ngejot), and attending condolences (melayat) serve as concrete means to instill tolerant values. The success of these strategies is supported by strong local values, active roles of community leaders, the intensity of social interactions, and youth involvement. However, there are also inhibiting factors such as exclusive attitudes, family environment influences, low digital literacy, alcohol consumption, and the dynamics of interfaith marriages. This research emphasizes that local wisdom serves not only as cultural heritage but also as an educational mechanism for shaping and maintaining tolerance in urban communities.]]>
