Abstract

This study discusses the management issues surrounding the Sile Dendeng Cemetery, which involves a dispute between Pengembur Village and Ketare Village. The issue arises because both villages claim the right to manage the cemetery, which they consider a cultural heritage of their ancestors. Ketare Village believes that they are descendants of Batu Dendeng and therefore have the right to manage the cemetery. However, administratively, the cemetery falls within the jurisdiction of Pengembur Village. This dispute has led to various issues, including competition for parking space and high parking fees, as well as inadequate facilities around the cemetery. The unclear management and the conflict between the two villages have also caused damage to the cemetery's facilities and instability in tourism development. The aim of this research is to analyze the factors causing the conflict and to formulate a resolution for the management of the religious tourism site, Sile Dendeng Cemetery, in Pengembur Tourism Village. The theories used in this study are conflict theory and conflict resolution theory. The research employs a qualitative approach with a descriptive method. Data collection techniques include interviews, observations, and documentation, involving three key informants. The research findings indicate that the Pengembur Village government proposes a collaborative approach where both parties share responsibility and resources to ensure the sustainability and security of this heritage. They also consider the active involvement of Ketare Village youth in decision-making related to the cemetery. Based on the agreement reached in the deliberations, the Pengembur Village government acknowledges that Sile Dendeng Cemetery is within their administrative jurisdiction while respecting the historical and cultural value that Ketare Village attaches to the cemetery. Additionally, the youth leaders of Ketare Village, while acknowledging the administrative claims of Pengembur Village, agree to actively participate in physical maintenance, security oversight, and cultural activities around Sile Dendeng Cemetery. Both parties have agreed to manage the cemetery collaboratively, ensuring transparency in the use of funds and decision-making related to its management.
