Indonesian society has the largest number of young people in the world, a broad geography with a majority of agrarian society and a diversity of cultures, religions, races and groups. The population density together with abundant natural resources can serve as the Indonesia's development capital if the people have social intelligence in interacting and negotiating their interests. However, the fact shows a high number of conflicts among students, landowners and other communities in Indonesia due to cultural and religious differences. Various attempts have been made by the Indonesian government in order to encourage people's awareness of living together, both through policies and education. This paper aims at formulating the typology of social conflict in Indonesia and then producing a design of education conflict resolution in Indonesia. Using literature review as the research method and content analysis as the technique of data analysis, this research yields three findings. First, the typology of social conflicts in Indonesia is divided into student conflicts, natural resources conflicts and ethnic conflicts. Second, challenges and obstacles of conflict resolution education in Indonesia are mainly caused by conflict behaviors. Third, to overcome the conflicts, conflict resolution education design is needed with the emphasis on cognitive and affective competencies. This study concludes that conflict resolution education design is a necessity for the people of Indonesia to reduce the number of social conflicts in order to create a conducive, safe and peaceful situation.
