One approach involves\nmeasuring the level of religious harmony, a key indicator of regional\nsocial resilience. The Malinau Regency government in North Kalimantan is\nimplementing the 2026 Religious Harmony Index Survey (IKUB) with an\nexpanded coverage compared to previous periods. The survey runs for\nthree months, from April to June 2026. This year\u2019s implementation\nreaches five sub-districts: Mentarang, South Malinau, Malinau City,\nNorth Malinau, and West Malinau. Data collection occurs in 34 villages\nwith a total of 400 respondents. Secretary of the National Unity and\nPolitics Agency of Malinau Regency, Eva Prancina, stated that the\nexpansion of the survey area aims to obtain a more comprehensive\noverview of religious harmony conditions. \u201cIn 2024, the survey was only\nconducted in four sub-districts. This year, we are expanding to five\nsub-districts with more villages so that the resulting data is\nincreasingly representative,\u201d Eva said in her statement on Thursday\n(7\/5\/2026). Eva explained that the 2026 IKUB survey involves 20\nenumerators from student and religious instructor backgrounds. All\nenumerators underwent technical training before conducting data\ncollection in the field to ensure the quality and validity of the survey\nresults. \u201cThis collaboration is important because students have\nmethodological skills, while religious instructors understand the social\nand religious conditions in the community,\u201d she clarified. Based on\nprevious survey results, Malinau Regency\u2019s IKUB score in 2024 was\nrecorded at 80.18, falling into the high category. This achievement\nindicates relatively harmonious interfaith relations, although the local\ngovernment assesses that there is still room for strengthening in\nseveral social aspects. Deputy Regent of Malinau, Jakaria, stated that\nthe IKUB survey serves as a strategic instrument in formulating\ndata-based regional policies. \u201cThis survey is very important as a basis\nfor policy-making. With accurate data, we can design appropriate\nprogrammes to strengthen tolerance and maintain community harmony,\u201d said\nJakaria. He also appreciated the involvement of students and religious\ninstructors, which is seen as strengthening the participatory approach\nin the survey\u2019s implementation in the community. \u201cIt is hoped that the\n2026 survey results can provide a broader and deeper picture, so that\nefforts to maintain social harmony in Malinau Regency can continue to be\nimproved,\u201d he added. The Malinau Regency government targets the final\nIKUB 2026 survey results to serve as a reference for regional policies\nas well as a contribution to strengthening religious moderation and\nsocial stability at the national level.<\/p>",
