their level of awareness on alternative dispute resolution and the residents showed only slight
awareness with regards to ADR Act of 2004. The residents have slightly awareness in this law

their level of awareness about ADR Act of 2004 is significantly related with the level of
awareness. The more a person is educated the more influences the participants to learn and
make use of such law in dealing with future conflicts, In terms of age, the age group of 18-32
years old is the most significantly related with the level of awareness. The more they get older
the more matured their mindset and the more, they are open to new ideas and suggestions.
Age is an important implication of one's level of awareness, depending on age awareness on a
certain topic may varies and as for the study it is shown that age is an important implication of
awareness towards Alternative dispute resolution.
Sex is not related significantly with the level of awareness, meaning the relationship
between the two is too small to be considered. A person can have an awareness on a certain
matter even without considering ones' sex, it can be seen that sex cannot be basis for a person
capability of accessing new knowledge or awareness because it will always be upon the
person's desire to learn furthermore Patterson (2017). Findings of the study will help to
increase the awareness of the community on Alternative Dispute Resolution as an alternative
means resolving dispute and achieving speedy and impartial justice that will help in deck
logging court dockets in the country also the recommended solution coming from the
researchers.
