Abstract
Mass organizations are principally a representation of an established and healthy democratic life, because the existence of mass organizations is included in the category of freedom of association and assembly for the community. Unfortunately, in the field, many Mass Organizations are involved in conflicts of interest that lead to open violence, not least in Bandung Regency, which has a fairly high productivity of Mass Organization establishments. This pre-research was dissected using a SWOT analysis (strengths, weaknesses, Opportunities, and Threats) and the method used was qualitative with a case study approach. The results of the study indicate that from the aspect of strength, the local government is represented by National Unity and Politics (Kesbangpol) as a work unit that is in direct contact with Mass organizations, the first is the support from the ^side ranks^ in coaching, namely the National Army (TNI) and National Police Unit (POLRI). Then there is also full control regarding the distribution of grant funds from the Bandung Regency Government. Meanwhile, the weakness is the lack of number and quality of human resources who intensely accompany Mass Organization, resulting in a lack of supervision, and many Mass Organization leaders who in fact do not know the function of Kesbangpol. Even though from the aspect of opportunity, the community has been intensely using social media so that they can carry out surveillance at any time, plus each mass organization has a strong militancy spirit, which is useful in terms of program mobilization if the mass organizations are aware of the existence of Kesbangpol. Finally, regarding the threat, if the current conditions continue, then it is possible that the Ormas increasingly do not consider the existence of Kesbangpol and the Regional Government so that the escalation of conflict between mass organizations will increase.
