This study aims to explain the importance the accommodation of local wisdom in conflict resolution in the ongoing urban industrial community. This study employs a qualitative approach with descriptive data analysis. Observation, key informant interviews, and documentation were used to collect data as primary and secondary sources. This study shows that cultural accommodation is effective in resolving community conflicts. The local wisdom approach in a society can be used to resolve the local community conflicts in urban areas. Accommodation of local wisdom in conflict resolution is considered able to build unity in the heterogeneity of cultural, religious, and ethnic differences in urban areas. Therefore, cultural accommodation with local values needs to be accommodated in resolving social conflicts. This study suggests that there is a need for public understanding and awareness of the potential of local wisdom in each region.
