Abstract

The decline in the spirit of local wisdom in Indonesia is marked by the emergence of intolerance caused by the negative impact of modernization, understanding of religious beliefs, fanaticism in political life by blaspheming one another, and spreading hatred. Considering these conditions, local wisdom has a strategic role in preventing intolerance because intolerance is the first step in the birth of radicalism and even acts of terrorism that have occurred in Indonesia. However, it is acknowledged that there are other efforts in preventing intolerance, such as the teachings of tolerance in religion and security approaches in preventing radicalism. However, it is also recognized that Indonesia is very rich in local wisdom with a diversity of nearly a thousand ethnic groups. The method used is exploratory to explore that local wisdom is not just art or culture but noble values or norms that become a view of life by the local community, while the inductive approach is carried out to analyze the study of documents related to the specificity of local wisdom on certain values or norms which are then drawn broad conclusions that will be adopted in local government policy. This paper examines the factors that trigger the degradation of local wisdom so that efforts to revitalize local wisdom are needed to prevent attitudes of intolerance and radicalism. To realize these efforts, the concept of organizational restructuring is offered as a theoretical framework in revitalizing local wisdom on government policies, especially local governments as local authorities where local wisdom is formed.
