Abstract

Fak-Fak regency is inhabited by various tribes, such as the local tribes of Papua, Java, Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Maluku, Timor, Bali, including Indonesian-Arabic Chinese descendants, who have been occupying this area for hundreds of years. Fak-Fak residents are used to living together in diversity, thus there is a well-known life philosophy regarded as a reference of the locals’ view in their daily life known as “Satu Tungku Tiga Batu”. This research was conducted in Fak-Fak Regency, West Papua Province under a qualitative research using a phenomenological approach. The data sources were the Regional Government, Religious Leaders, Community Leaders of Fak-fak Regency, and Fak-Fak residents. The data was collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. The data was then analysed using phenomenological analysis techniques. This analysis aimed to reveal the religious moderation of the Fak-Fak community as outlined in “Satu Tungku Tiga Batu”. The results revealed that: first, there has been an embedded understanding within the Fak-Fak community related to the value of “kinship or brotherhood”. Such concept was born from their ancestors and has been existing for decades. With this concept, a philosophy of “Satu Tungku Tiga Batu” is used as a term and then be constructed into a local wisdom. It serves as a life philosophy which later formed the religious moderation in the community. In this case, people’s religious knowledge is seen based on their belief and motivation. Second, it was found that there are three forms of local wisdom within the Fak-Fak community related to “Satu Tungku Tiga Batu” in realizing values of religious moderation, namely; respecting, understanding, and keeping brotherhood within each other.
