Purpose: This study aims to analyze local wisdom-based leadership practices in preventing socio-political conflict and to formulate a preventive leadership model in Merak Batin Village, Natar District, South Lampung Regency, Indonesia.
Methodology: This qualitative case study involved 15 purposively selected informants. Data were collected through in-depth interviews, participatory observation, and documentation, then analyzed thematically using triangulation and member checking. Social Capital Theory and Collaborative Governance provided the analytical framework.
Findings: The findings indicate that deliberation serves as a key mechanism for managing competing community interests, particularly disagreements over road development priorities among hamlets. The village head facilitated dialogue involving village officials, the Village Consultative Body (BPD), community leaders, and hamlet representatives, resulting in mutually accepted agreements. Collaboration operated through village development planning (RKPDes), project implementation by the Activity Implementation Team (TPK), and oversight by the BPD and residents. The study develops a preventive leadership model integrating local wisdom, responsiveness to community aspirations, stakeholder collaboration, and social capital.
Practical Implications: The findings provide a basis for strengthening deliberative decision-making, community participation, and public oversight as preventive mechanisms in village development governance.
Originality/Value: This study proposes a conceptual preventive leadership model integrating social capital and collaborative governance to manage potential conflicts from the initial expression of community concerns.
