The thematic mapping of the documents was confirmed
and explored through interviews with participants from both the MM and NK communities. The results of
the study revealed that the conflict resolution model offered by adat ranges from prohibitions and
restrictions on raising pigs to a total ban but provides a number of payments and replaces them with ducks.
Deliberation, consensus and mediation, which are the main mechanisms of adat in conflict resolution, have
become guarantees and protection for minority communities. In line with that, the article suggests the
need for synergy with religious values; hence, the function of the religious values is more significant in
resolving religious conflicts that occur between the majority and minority communities. The space for
social conflict, religious conflict and even customary conflict itself is increasingly open in the future along
with the strengthening of conservatism both on a local, national and global scale so that various models of
conflict resolution are needed, including custom-based ones.
