ARP is an IP term. But AppleTalk has the AppleTalk Address Resolution Protocol (AARP) which behaves just like IP ARP, with a few additional features to support dynamic addressing. But its main function is to find the data-link-layer address when the network-layer address is known, which is just like IP ARP.
Novell IPX doesn't need such a feature because the Node ID in the network.node network-layer address IS the data-link-layer address. So if a station knows another station's network-layer address, it knows the station's data-link-layer address too. DECnet doesn't need such a feature either because it changes the data-link-layer address on an interface so that it is based on the network-layer address. I can't remember too much about Banyan. It may have an ARP. What else is there?? Hmmmmm. NetBEUI doesn't have a network layer, so it doesn't need ARP. SNA is such a different beast, I doubt it has ARP. We could talk about WANs too I guess. Frame Relay has inverse ARP. HDLC has SLARP.
