    (Hawassa University, 2023-10) ADINEW ZEEKE
    The purpose of this study was to investigate the role of indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms in resolving land-based conflict in the case of Dalle woreda. The study used a mixed-methods approach, which involved both quantitative and qualitative data collection and analysis methods. The sample size consisted of 168 households from three kebeles in Dalle woreda, such as Wicho, Hida Kalite, and Della. The data collection methods included surveys, interviews, and focus group discussions. The survey's questionnaire was created to collect data on household perceptions of conflict resolution experiences and perspectives of indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms for resolving land-related conflict. The study used descriptive statistics and thematic analysis to analyze quantitative data on indigenous methods and experiences in modern courts. The research's findings show that the study area's stable social relationships and ability to preserve peace and stability depend heavily on the effectiveness of indigenous conflict resolution mechanisms. Land-based conflicts in Dalle Woreda arise from boundary competition, ambiguous tenure systems, inheritance disputes, large-scale land acquisitions, political instability, resource competition, displacement, and government investment programs. Indigenous dispute resolution methods include mediation, arbitration, customary law, and community discussion. Indigenous conflict resolution is a multifaceted field that combines traditional and modern methods, like Halaale, Affini, Amaale, and Sicho, which are intimately related to resolving land-based conflict, focusing on sustainable development, social cohesion, and preserving indigenous practices within communities. The study recommends that by recognizing and integrating these mechanisms into the formal justice system, fostering collaboration, raising awareness, and conducting regular monitoring and evaluation, sustainable resolutions can be achieved while preserving cultural heritage and promoting social justice.
