This study examines the challenges of intercultural communication between the Dayak and Malay communities in Kandan Village, West Kalimantan, who live side by side but still face social tensions and negative stereotypes. The aim of the study was to analyze the role of intercultural communication strategies in building social harmony and to identify effective forms of communication to reduce intergroup tensions. Using a qualitative approach with an ethnographic case study, data were collected through in-depth interviews, participant observation, and analysis of cultural artifacts. The results indicate that effective intercultural communication strategies in building social harmony in Kandan Village include: the use of a common language (Bahasa Indonesia with local terms), the active role of traditional leaders as cultural mediators, the strengthening of shared local wisdom values (gotong royong, musyawarah mufakat), collective rituals and traditions, an adaptive approach to communication, the involvement of the younger generation as agents of change, the wise use of communication technology, customary-based conflict resolution mechanisms, and the use of shared cultural symbols. Inclusive spatial planning and the use of shared spaces also play a crucial role in facilitating positive interethnic interactions. While challenges such as prejudice and stereotypes persist, their intensity has been reduced through ongoing communication and multicultural education.
