<![CDATA[AbstrakBerdasar pada Peraturan Bersama Menteri No. 9 dan 8 Tahun 2006, pemerintah daerah memiliki tugas khusus untuk memelihara kerukunan umat beragama di wilayahnya.

Penelitian menemukan: Pemerintah Daerah Kepri dan Kanwil Kementerian Agama setempat telah menunjukkan peran yang cukup. Meski terdapat tantangan geografis dan keterbatasan anggaran, namun kerukunan beragama tetap nyata dalam masyarakatnya.
