替代性争议解决是指除通过法院进行诉讼或裁决以外的所有争议解决形式。然而，这种替代性争端解决的定义没有提到一个至关重要的考虑。ADR是被普遍接受的替代性争议解决的首字母缩写。尽管选择不向法院或法定法庭提起诉讼，但ADR仍将受到法律和宪法的规范。公平是南非宪政秩序的核心价值之一。环境纠纷时有发生，但由于其延迟性和成本性，ADR是解决此类纠纷的一种非司法机制。ADR可以作为一种比正式诉讼成本更低、也更快捷的环境纠纷处理机制。ADR涵盖了广泛的机制和程序，旨在帮助当事人创造性地和有效地解决争端。就这可能涉及选择或设计正式诉讼以外的机制和进程而言，这些机制和进程的目的不是取代法院裁决，而是补充法院裁决。为了解决环境纠纷中遇到的众多问题，已经发展出了各种各样的ADR方法。研究的问题是：ADR如何促进南非的环境纠纷？它们合适吗？应该做哪些改进？关键词：替代性纠纷，环境纠纷，非司法性，解决与和解。
Alternative Dispute Resolution denotes all forms of dispute resolution other than litigation or adjudication through the courts. This definition of Alternative Dispute Resolution, however, makes no mention of a vital consideration. ADR is the generally accepted acronym for alternative dispute resolution. Despite the choice not to proceed before a court or statutory tribunal, ADR will still be regulated by law and by the Constitution. Fairness is one of the core values of the South African constitutional order. Environmental disputes occur frequently, but due to delays and costs, ADR is a mechanism to resolve this kind of disputes which is a resolution of non-judicial mechanism. ADR can be used as a mechanism in environmental disputes that are less expensive and also more expeditious than formal litigation. ADR covers a broad range of mechanisms and processes designed to assist parties in resolving disputes creatively and effectively. In so far as this may involve the selection or design of mechanisms and processes other than formal litigation, these mechanisms and processes are not intended to supplant court adjudication, but rather to supplement it. A variety of ADR methods have been developed to deal with numerous problems encountered during environmental disputes. The research questions are: How can ADR facilitate environmental disputes in South Africa? Are they appropriate? And what improvements should be made? Keywords—Alternative dispute, environmental disputes, nonjudicial, resolution and settlement.
