Abstract

This study aims to analyze the role of the village government and law enforcement officials in educating youth groups about conflict prevention in Campurejo Village, as well as to identify the factors that support and hinder its implementation. The study employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive design using the case study method. Informants were selected through purposive sampling and included the village head and village officials, Bhabinkamtibmas (community police officers), Babinsa (military officers), youth organization leaders, community leaders, and young people with experience or knowledge regarding potential conflicts. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and document analysis, then analyzed using the Miles and Huberman interactive model through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. Data validity was strengthened through triangulation of sources and techniques. The results of the study indicate that the village government plays a role through legal awareness campaigns, strengthening the youth organization, educating youth and families, and facilitating village deliberations. Law enforcement officials play a role through preemptive outreach, preventive patrols, direct communication, and restorative justice-based mediation following incidents. Village deliberations and restorative mediation are perceived as the most effective because they promote participatory conflict resolution. However, budget constraints, suboptimal youth participation, and social media provocation are the main obstacles. The study recommends a conflict prevention model based on cross-actor collaboration that is preventive, participatory, and sustainable.
