The Role of IMEUM MUKIM in Resolving Conflicts between Communities in the Mukim Ladang Lemisik Area of Lawe Alas District, Southeast Aceh Regency

Introduction

The Ladang Lemisik Mukim in Lawe Alas District, Southeast Aceh Regency, is an area that often faces various conflicts between communities. In this context, the role of the Mukim IMEUM becomes very important as a mediator and problem solver. This study aims to understand how the IMEUM Mukim carries out its duties in relieving tensions and completing disputes that occur in the region. The method used in this study is qualitative, where the interview is conducted with the head of the Mukim as a key informant.

Understanding the Role of IMEUM MUKIM

The IMEUM MUKIM plays a crucial role in resolving conflicts between communities in the Mukim Ladang Lemisik area. As a mediator, the IMEUM MUKIM utilizes local traditions and values as a foundation for resolving conflicts. In many cases, the decision taken by the IMEUM Mukim is based on deliberations involving conflicting parties, so that all votes can be heard. This approach not only maintains harmony in society, but also strengthens social ties between individuals.

The Application of Customary Law in Resolving Conflicts

The application of customary law in resolving conflicts has several advantages. Firstly, customary law is flexible and can be adjusted to the context and nature of the conflict, which allows a more fair resolution and accepted by all parties. Secondly, the decision generated by the Mukim Imeum is generally considered more legitimate and has high social power compared to the formal court decisions. This is because customary law is deeply rooted in the culture and traditions of the community, making it more relatable and acceptable to the parties involved.

Challenges in Resolving Conflicts

However, challenges remain in resolving conflicts through customary mechanisms. Not all conflicts can be resolved through customary mechanisms. Some problems may require a formal legal approach to avoid greater escalation. In this context, the role of the Mukim Imeum can function as a bridge, directing the conflicting parties to find solutions through legal channels if needed.

The Importance of IMEUM MUKIM in Creating Harmonization

The role of the IMEUM Mukim in the Lemban Field Mukim is very vital in resolving conflicts between communities. Through a custom-based approach, Mukim Imeum is able to provide a fair and acceptable solution by the community. Although not all conflicts can be resolved traditionally, Mukim Imeum remains an important figure in bridging differences and building peace. This study shows the importance of understanding the role of Mukim Imeum in creating harmonization in social life in Southeast Aceh.

In conclusion, the role of the IMEUM Mukim in resolving conflicts between communities in the Mukim Ladang Lemisik area is crucial. By prioritizing customary principles and deliberations, the Mukim IMEUM can continue to contribute in creating a peaceful and harmonious environment in the Mukim Ladang Lemisik area.
