Abstract

The phenomenon of inclusive religiosity in Indonesia has become an important discourse in strengthening social cohesion within a pluralistic society. Bulakrejo Village, Balerejo District, known as Kampung Pancasila, presents unique religious practices, particularly in the relationship between Islam and national values. This reality is interesting to study because it displays a relatively harmonious pattern of socio-religious interaction, despite being colored by diverse religious identities and practices. This research gap arises because most research on inclusive religiosity in Indonesia still focuses on large cities or interfaith communities, while village-based studies—especially those labeled Kampung Pancasila—are still very limited. The novelty of this research lies in its effort to uncover the construction of an inclusive Islamic identity at the village level by positioning Pancasila as a framework for communal life. The research questions are as follows: First, how are inclusive religious practices built in the Pancasila Village of Bulakrejo Village, Balerejo? Second, how does Islamic identity interact with Pancasila values in the community's social life? The research method used a descriptive qualitative approach with data collection techniques including in-depth interviews, participant observation, and local document analysis. Preliminary results indicate that inclusive religiousness in Pancasila Village is formed through socio-religious practices based on mutual cooperation, interfaith celebrations, and the internalization of Pancasila values in religious forums. Islamic identity in Bulakrejo does not appear exclusive, but rather serves as an integrative force that strengthens social harmony.
