Abstract

Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) has long been recognized as an effective mechanism for resolving land disputes in Indonesia due to its emphasis on consensus and social harmony. However, the increasing reliance on formal legal procedures has marginalized local wisdom-based dispute resolution practices, particularly in coastal communities. Despite extensive studies on ADR, limited research has examined the integration of local wisdom into land dispute resolution in regions such as Tomini Bay. This study aims to reconstruct ADR mechanisms by incorporating local wisdom in resolving land disputes in the coastal area of Tomini Bay. It employs a normative legal approach, combining empirical data with analysis of statutory regulations, legal doctrines, and field data, using qualitative methods. The findings indicate that local wisdom-based mechanisms, particularly deliberation (musyawarah) and consensus (mufakat), remain effective in resolving disputes and maintaining social cohesion, yet are not fully integrated into the formal legal system. Therefore, this study argues that ADR should be reconstructed by integrating local wisdom and living law into Indonesia’s legal framework to ensure more culturally responsive and sustainable dispute resolution.
