• cognitive,
Conflicts caused by cognitive factors arise from differences
between perceptions and value systems, such as urban
development and environmental conservation.
• environmental,
– when construction affects the surrounding environment or
involves a contaminated area.
• economic factors
– Economic conflict occurs due to conflicts of interest among
project participants
• governmental authority
– by governmental authorities involve the accuracy of information
offered and the exclusion/dismissal of inhabitants' opinions.
Spreading misinformation related to the project's scope and
compensation level intensifies conflict
Consequences
• Project termination
– Project termination occurs for cases that involve severe conflicts
in the planning and feasibility study stages.
• Early mitigation
– refers to cases in which a proper response to a conflict was
enacted at an early stage.
• Late mitigation
– Continuance of conflicts, the cost and duration of such projects
increase; however, adequate compromises result in completion.
• Project enforcement
– occurs when the government pushes the project forward
without compromise.
• Late occurrence
– describes cases in which conflict occurs in the operation and
maintenance stages of the facility, and maintenance costs and
usage fees are the main sources of conflicts

over time (the original reason may not
matter).

Prevention
• Preventing the possible conflict from happening
was deemed as the most preferred and effective
technique by the experts.
• In order to achieve the best results for the
construction projects, the experts suggested that
project team should fully investigate the relevant
rules and regulations
• to avoid potential cobflict investigate the social
environment in advance and try to establish a
good relationship with the key local players to
prevent

Resolving
• Resolving as the post conflict countermeasures
was the most advisable to each side of the
stakeholders.
• Good communication and negotiation skills were
compulsory for this technique.
• With the aim of resolving coordination meeting
was organized, which the leaders of the conflicting
parties were invited to formulate compensation
measures to solve conflicts and set up an
accountability mechanism and compensation
system to avoid repetitiveness of such conflict.
6-7
Mediator
• Mediator plays an important role in conflict
resolving, as interpersonal relationship was
highly valued in the countries like Pakistan
• The introduction of mediator means to seek help
from the third-party, such as upper level
authorities, legal assistance, consultants and
other potential stakeholders, when the project
team failed to resolve the conflict directly.

Avoidance
• Conflict avoiding indicates to take measures
such as changing plans/designs or transferring
the conflict to another stakeholder in order to
avoid the conflict.
• This technique was effective in the management
of conflict between the project team and the
local social environment or conflict over land
acquisition and demolition
• The project team may changed the construction
plans to avoid the nail households, and
successfully avoid this conflict and reduced
negative social impacts

Compromise
Smoothing

the conflicting parties and de-emphasizes their

adoption of shared viewpoints on certain issues
to help facilitate movement toward a consensus
and temporary resolution of the conflict

Social conflict
• Traditionally, conflict management in construction
projects has focused on disagreement among
internal stakeholders, such as employer,
contractors, and subcontractors.
• Social conflict has become a critical factor for
project viability.
• Conflicts among external stakeholders have a
significant impact on project performance as well
as on social governance

Social conflict
• Social conflict occurs among external
stakeholders for construction projects
including
– contractors, residents, governments, and NGOs,
• In Korea, social conflicts have an impact of US
$70 billion annually
• In Korean construction projects, external
conflicts have resulted in average delays of 3.6
years and cost increases of 290%
Social conflict
• In addition, social costs of US$ 70 billion are
incurred annually from direct and indirect
influences of managing social conflicts
• Despite these impacts, external conflicts in a
construction project are considered only one of a
project's various risk factors that occur during the
construction phase, such as civil complaints and
public resistance
• To manage conflicts effectively, conflicts must
first be recognized, and alternatives systematically
presented using a systematic approach

Types of stakholders
• Internal
– Internal stakeholders are contractually involved in
the project on the demand side such as financiers
and employers and on the supply side such as
contractors, engineers, and architects.
• External
– External stakeholders are typically composed of
the public and private sectors without any legally
recognized relationship, which include
governments, local residents, and third parties
such as NGOs or civic groups

value conflict
• caused by the different criteria used to evaluate
certain behaviors or by exclusive and intrinsically
valuable goals.
• This type is the most difficult to mitigate and
overcome because this form of conflict is not a
matter of interest or communication,
• but a foundation of personal identity. To
overcome value conflict, sharing information
about each stakeholders' value
• and seeking for consensus within a common
value are essential
Relationship conflict
• caused by strong emotions, misperceptions and
miscommunication.
• The stakeholders with prior negative experiences
with each other are likely to enter a relationship
conflict.
• If the stakeholders have negative feelings like
regionalism, distrusts they stand on the other side.
• It can also be affected by the other types of
conflict.

Interest conflict
• Caused by a competition for profits, resources,
or rights, land compensation.
• Most conflicts in public construction projects
stem from interest conflict, as this sort of
conflict drives economic disputes
