Belitang sub-district is located in Ogan Komering Ulu Timur (OKUT) Regency in South
Sumatera Province which is about 200 km to the southwest of Palembang city. Belitang III District is one of 16 sub-districts in East Ogan Komering Ulu Regency (OKU). The majority of the residents are transmigration residents who have lived in this place for years. The flow of water from the daily Komering river irrigation division watered thousands of hectares of rice fields.
In 1977, this area of Belitang has changed as a result of the continuous migration of transmigrants totaling at least 130,000 swiftly transmigrants. One of the most important things in the development of this transmigration area is the 40 km irrigation channel built by the Dutch Government between 1937 and1943. Fifty percent of the expanded road network is already on the asphalt. The topography of this area is flat and the soil is fertile so it can be harvested twice a year as long as there is irrigation (Hardjono, 1982: 84-87).
History of transmigration to Belitang precisely in the village of Nusa Jaya occurred in 1961. At that time transmigrants came from the island of Java. The large number of transmigrants in Nusa Jaya Village amounts to 250 Head of Family (KK). The existence of transmigration to the island of Sumatra, precisely in the village of Nusa Jaya Belitang district III OKU East South Sumatra, the community inevitably have to deal with different religious adherents. Most villagers of nusa Jaya are transmigration people from Java. Religions are dianutpun vary, but this religion is not from the region of origin, but there is a change of religion at the time was already in the transmigration area on the island of Sumatra (Village Archives, January 1, 2013).
Tolerance is a fundamental belief (creed) in religion, can make as a value and norm. It is said to be a value because tolerance is a description of what we want, worthy, valuable, that can affect the social behavior of the person who has that value. Value (tolerance) can make a norm, which is a benchmark behavior in a particular group. Religious life that is tolerant as well as a basic attitude in social life of society, which is always socialized in the household level, is the primary socialization, and secondary socialization occurs after the primary socialization took place. Living in harmony and helping each other will make life in a world of peace and quiet (Koentjaraningrat, 1988: 145-147).Tolerance is a fundamental belief (creed) in religion, can make as a value and norm.

Living in harmony and helping each other will make life in a world of peace and quiet (Koentjaraningrat, 1988: 145-147 History shows that religion has a big role in the process of building a nation, but there is also evidence that religion can also be a disintegrative factor for other nations. Conflicts of Catholics and Protestants in Northern Ireland, the Christians-Mironit conflict and Muslims in Lebanon and the conflicts of Hindus and Muslims in India are the latest examples we can see. In Indonesia, Muslims and Christians (Catholic and Protestant) can work together to help overcome national problems that require a common solution (Machnun 1986: 215-225).
Social interaction has a correlation with norms, but also with status in the sense that status gives shape or patterns of interaction. Changes in society can occur because of certain movers. Many things can make people think that produces ideas, ideas and beliefs and technology. The changes occurring in the world are basically attributed to this factor and are supported by the first and greatest discovery of language that provides the ability to communicate (Taneko 1993: 135-139 The community's recruitment in the rubber plantation sector can support the income of the community of Nusa Jaya Village and bring progress to the development of the Nusa Jaya Village development. The village of Nusa Jaya also has many other businesses, such as builders, bur wells, rubber traders, iron welders, and trade. The economic progress of the community of Nusa Jaya village, finally brought about the development for the education of children in Nusa Jaya Village (Gunawan, 10 April 2014).
Although different religion of Nusa Jaya Village residents always stay in harmony and mutual respect. Respect respect in performing worship according to their belief regardless of difference in society. In the interfaith community and belief in God Almighty in Nusa Jaya Village Belitang III district in general, peace and mutual respect, so that the condition of safe and maintained harmony can be maintained in this district (Source: Primary data management results, 2013) .

Religious tolerance means mutual respect and tolerance towards other believers, not
forcing them to follow their religion and not meddling in their own religious affairs. In a pluralistic society like Indonesia relations between different groups of people of different customs and religions can not be avoided (Nurhasanah, et al, 2011: 138).
Transmigration in Belitang is a common and voluntary transmigration, since most of the transmigrants are mostly inhabitants with large flooding or volcanic eruptions at the time. In addition, there are also transmigrants from the swakarsa transmigration, as transmigrants are charged for transportation and for clothing and food. Nevertheless, the government's participation as the person in charge of the transmigration program is quite large, such as the provision of houses, rain water reservoirs, and once a month the government provides basic commodities such as rice, eggs, instant noodles and other basic ingredients (Hardjono 1982: 88).
In its development, the village of Nusa Jaya has become a prosperous village because of its natural support and community's expertise in cultivating agricultural land. This then causes residents to stay at home in this village of Nusa Jaya. The kinship system that is still thick from Java such as the mutual help-helping attitude and mutual cooperation between fellow residents to make them feel at home and can still be found until now (Yusman, interview dated February 27, 2013).
The acceptance and strength of the bond between man and nature underlying the unity of society and village government also has a great influence on the spiritual life of the community, so that the westerners call such views "animism". The social control mechanisms in rural areas take place through the socialization of individuals within the community, religious and cultural institutions of society, including education in the family environment, reflected in norms, legal norms, customs, customs, flokways, mores, public opinion (Asy'ari 1993: 129-133). Good relationships between humans and living beings will be well established, if there is no oppression, persecution, deprivation of rights among God's creatures. Any loss incurred by his actions means reducing the level and value of his worship, which means less or not able to manage his world well (Fatah 2004: 27).
So it can be seen that tolerance cannot be separated from good moral and ethical human nature. Humans as objects that are actors in social life that affect the environment. Awareness and responsibility will build a nation and a sense of mutual ownership of the environment is the responsibility of all social beings that must be preserved, so that safe and peaceful life will be realized.

According to Mosothwane (1995), the education history of the particular curriculum when it was found that existing curriculum does not meet the goals and needs of a country to cope with the changes that occur in the present and future. Curriculum changes made with the hope of enhancing the quality and efficiency of education. Based on the above statement, it can be concluded that national policy makers are very sensitive to the importance of this subject as a vision of the future in the process of building the unity of the nation and the country. Policies The first step in historical research is heuristics. The heuristic is derived from the hierarchical Greek which means to obtain. Heuristics are techniques or ways to find sources that can be obtained through literature studies, direct observation in the field or through interviews (Alian, 2012: 9-10).
According to Kuntowijoyo (1994: 50), heuristics is the knowledge tasked with investigating sources and attempts to gather information on subjects directly related to the problem. According to Notosusanto (2008: 42).
The research tries to find and collect sources related to the above problems, while the source of the author get them from the Central Library of Sriwijaya University, FKIP Library Sriwijaya University, Regional Library in Palembang, Palembang Private Library, Bookstore in Palembang. The books and other sources are obtained through library research. Because the library is a laboratory on the historian (Gottschalk, 1986: 86). In addition to using literature study, the authors also use interviews (interviews) and documentation. According to Fourth used in qualitative research is in-depth interview. In-depth interviews are the process of obtaining information for the purpose of research by questioning and face-to-face manner between the interviewer and the informant or the interviewee, with or without using the interview guide, in which the interviewer and the informant are involved in the social life a relatively long time (Sukardi, 2003: 79).
In this study, the research will conduct direct interviews with village officials, community religious leaders and transmigrant communities in the village of Nusa Jaya Belitang District III East OKU district to obtain complete power and information about the object to be studied.
In using historical sources, it should evaluate or critique the sources used. Source criticism is the process of testing the source, whether the source is genuine or false (external criticism) and whether it is trustworthy or accountable or not (Alian, 2012: 11). There are two kinds of criticism: External Criticism and Internal Criticism. External criticism is investigating to determine authenticity by answering 5W + 1H questions. While internal criticism is the determination of whether or not the information in the document is used as a historical fact (Yass, 2004: 35-36).
According to Fourth Dictionary of Indonesian Language Fourth Edition (Depdiknas, 2008: 742), external criticism is a research phase based on physical coverage in the form of description of the form, type of script, material, environment, and environment, the location of the inscription. If the source is a written source such as a book, then the researcher should look at things related to the outward appearance that includes paper, ink writing sentence, style of language / spelling used by the author (Kuntowijoyo, 1995: 99). According to the Fourth Indonesian Dictionary of the Fourth Edition (MoNE, 2008: 742), internal criticism is a working phase based on field data coverage that builds both written sources and epigraphic analogy.
Internal criticism is an attempt of analysis to answer questions concerning the accuracy, value of the documents, and the legacy authesis that has been obtained from the field (Sukardi, 2003: 206 In this activity the researcher uses a social approach, an approach that is directed to use social facts concerning the state of society with the informant's explanation, as proposed by Soejono Soekanto (1982: 162), that: "In studying society, will have much to do with social groups, whether small like family groups or large groups such as village communities, urban communities and others ".
Religious approach is religion used to get involved in solving various problems faced by mankind. The religious approach aims to photograph and understand the truth (Ali, 2002: 92).Geographical approach is used to see the location of an area and the state of nature where an event occurs. In this approach can be seen the area of Nusa Jaya Village is a farm and plantation area.Anthropological approach is to learn the patterns in people's lives. This anthropological approach depicts a simple group of humans covering all aspects of its interconnected culture (Romdon, 1996: 119).

Inter-Religious Tolerance in Nusa Jaya Village Belitang District III East OKU District
Harmony and tolerance among religious people is an essential need of a universal humanity, which can not be denied and must be endeavored by every human being because human beings are essentially living beings who always need each other in the community (Hasan, 2005: 273).
The village of Nusa Jaya is a village whose inhabitants are transmigration communities Tolerance can be interpreted as an attitude to be able to live with other adherents of the religion, having the freedom to practice their religious principles (worship) respectively, without any coercion and pressure, whether for worship or not worship, from one party to another. Tolerance is reflected in mutual respect, mutual respect and mutual help (Taher, 1997: In the Qur'an it is mentioned that: Cultivate you in the work of good and piety, and do not cooperate in sinning and enmity (Q.S.Al-Maidah: 2)." In the Gospels "He lives with the excommunicado (considered sinful), teaches for the love of neighbor and prayer for the obedient (Matt.9,(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(43)(44)(45)(46)(47)(48). " "Help to bear your burden! Thus you are fulfilling the law of . " In Buddhist philosophy it is mentioned that: "Unite in the Buddhist path of humanity, justice and peace of love (Deputhera, 1985: 20)." So it can be seen that the activities of mutual cooperation between religions is one of the key to the creation of tolerance life among religious people. Gotong-royong can foster a sense of togetherness and social solidarity, besides any religion also encourages people to work together in social life. The community of Nusa Jaya Village is one example of the village community who still implement cooperative life among other villages.

Factors that led to the success of religious tolerance in the village of Nusa Jaya Belitang
District III East OKU district of South Sumatra.
Harmony is a common need that can not be avoided amid differences. The differences are not a barrier to living in harmony and side by side in a framework of brotherhood and unity.
Awareness of the harmony of religious life that must be dynamic, humanist and democratic, in order to be transformed to society among the lower so that harmony is not only felt / enjoyed by the upper circles of the rich alone (Shahid and Daulay, 2012: 7).
Cooperation, conflict and accommodation are three unavoidable possibilities or consequences in every relationship between ethnic and religious groups in Indonesian plural society (Prayitno and Trubus, 2002: 259). Religion is concerned with the efforts of man to measure the depth of his own existence and the existence of nature. Religion gives symbols to humans. The symbols they can reveal are difficult to express, although the essence of religious experience forever cannot be disclosed (Nottingham, 1996: 3-4).
Harmony is essentially a mental attitude expressed in the form of a motivated, motivated attitude of birth. Strongness or absence of harmony depends on motivation.
Therefore, discussing the issue of harmony cannot be separated from the motivation of harmony which means to discuss intentions and goals in relation to harmony (Thoyib and Sugiyanto, 2002: 176 According to Von Weise in the book by Al Munawar (2003: 17-18), the religious group is a group of magical or abstract class. Unity in religion as an invisible group is bound by the inner connection between its members which makes the group eternal, for seeing and accepting religion is not as boring but as a vibrant and vibrant spirit of all souls and bodies and has a great influence against its members.
In the community of Nusa Jaya Village with a wide variety of religions embraced by its inhabitants, they live in a peaceful state and without regard to these existing religious differences. This is evident in the time of maintaining the security of Nusa Jaya Village, for example, when the night watch is a mixed night watch between Moslems and Protestant Christians going around to accompany their night watches together (Susilo, interview 27 February 2014). Building the harmony of religious life is an inexorable one. This is because the teachings of their own religion do not teach adherents to be hostile to other religions. Humans in a sociocultural perspective are social beings and cultural beings (Al Munawar, 2003: 56). So it can be concluded that tolerance can grow and not fade with implanted to the generation through institutions or organizations which is a container in establishing communication.
