However, the most common types of disputes resolved by Shalish are family disputes, land disputes, arson or other kinds of violence, stealing or robbery, etc. There are no specific conditions or criteria for being a member of the Shalish board. On the other hand, the bottom-up process stresses that the Shalish may be initiated from the beneficiary end. The top-down process stresses that the Shalish may be initiated by village leaders. Generally, two types of processes can be observed, which are top-down processes and bottom-up processes. The study shows that the villagers still rely on the system confidently.
