The quantitative technique was used to collect and analyze data on the community participation and land conflict management. The qualitative approach was used to community participation and land conflict management.

The rational was that all the above respondents were stake holders. The sample size of the study consists of 150 respondents of the target population. Data was collected from primary and secondary sources using questionnaires and interviews. After collecting data, the researcher organized well-answered questionnaire, data was edited and sorted for the next stage. The data was presented in tabular form, pie charts and bar graphs with frequencies and percentages. The study findings revealed that 72% of the respondents were the majority who were male and the remaining 28% of the respondents were female. This implies that most of the respondents were men due to societal beliefs that men are majorly the owners of land and thus usually engaged in land conflict management with other community members. The study concludes that through participation ordinary people are given opportunity to have a say in how their environment should be planned and developed in future. and that people are able to influence the final outcome of planned action.
