These four variables include city government regulations, social regulations, government actions, and religious demographics.

The Chairman of the Setara Institute Board, Ismail Hasani, emphasized that the 2025 Tolerant City Index reflects the institution’s consistency in sustainably monitoring tolerance issues. This measurement records the progress or regression of collaborative efforts between local governments and communities.

Ismail also stressed that this achievement is the result of collective hard work, not merely the success of individual officials.

“So (the tolerant city index) is not solely the achievement of the Mayor or Kesbangpol or FKUB, but is a shared achievement,” said Ismail.
