- Abstract
Urban regions exhibit a heightened susceptibility to conflict as a result of escalating population growth, migratory patterns, ethnic frictions, the erosion of institutional structures, and the deterioration of urban services. This study aims to contribute lack of conflict studies in urban community setting by exploring and mapping conflict and violence in the urban area. The study was conducted in City of Makassar as an Indonesian metropolitan city as a case study. The research applies a mixed-method approach, combining surveys and focused group discus- sions. Community-based urban violence mapping helps to document various forms of violence, especially in slum areas inhabited by poor and unemployed residents. The study unveils a strong correlation between poverty and conflict. Despite COVID-19, communal conflicts remain unmitigated, highlighting the in- efficacy of government policies and pandemic-related dangers in curbing vio- lence. The economic downturn and widespread layoffs during the pandemic have intensified conflicts. The study suggests for the establishment of a community- based conflict monitoring and resolution system, emphasizing community partic- ipation in resolving urban conflicts and promoting resilience. This approach is crucial for building stronger, more peaceful urban communities, particularly in the post COVID-19 pandemic.
