This thesis studied the operation and administration of Katarungang Pambarangay in Naga City in 1995. It aimed to determine contributive and obstructive factors in its operation according to members of the lupon, complainants, respondents, kagawads, secretaries and residents. It found that amicable dispute settlement is possible when hearings are accessible, conveniently scheduled, and punong barangays are respected. While mistrust, lack of issue study, hearing delays and slow settlements can obstruct, respondents saw these as only sometimes interfering. Perceptions varied by sex and civil status of respondents. Common problems encountered were tardiness of parties and non-appearance of respondents during dispute settlement.

KATARUNGANG PAMBARANGAY: ITS OPERATION AND ADMINISTRATION
REYES, Mayla P Unpublished Masteral Thesis, University of Nueva Caceres , Naga City 1995. Keywords: Katarungang Pambarangay, operation, and administration This study aimed to determine the contributive and obstructive factors in the operation and administration of the Katarungang Pambarangay for 1995 as perceived by lupon members, complaints, respondents, kagawad, secretaries and residents. The specific problems were: 1) What factors are perceived to be contributive and obstructive to settlement? 2) Is there any difference among the perceived factors of the respondents? 3) What factors are associated with the differences in perception? 4) What administrative and operational problems are encountered during settlement? This study used the descriptive normative method to describe the degrees of perceptions of the respondents on the contributive as well as the obstructive factors on settlement of disputes through the Katarungang Pambarangay law and the differences of perception among the respondents on the operational and administrative problems or constraints encountered in the implementation of the Katarungang Pambarangay. Major conclusions of the study were: Regardless of the services rendered and the language used during conciliation, amicable settlement of disputes is always possible where the places of hearing is accessible to the parties, the schedule is convenient, the punong barangay/ pangkat are accorded with respect, and immediate action on the disputes is made. Mistrust, failure to study issues, delay in setting cases for hearing and failure to make speedy settlement of cases are generally considered as obstructive factors, but the respondents considered those factors are seldom obstructive. Thus, the presence of those factors would not deter the amicable settlement of disputes. The respondents showed varying degrees of perception on the contributive and obstructive factors in the settlement of disputes. Sex and civil status are factors that affected the respondents perception. Tardiness of the parties and non-appearance of the respondents are the more common administrative / operational problems encountered by the respondents during the settlement of disputes.
