Abstract
Public conflict in domestic project has been increased and it results in direct and indirect damages. In order to reduce the loss, there have been diverse researches on the public conflict. However, most of researches tend to mainly focus on characteristics of the conflict. Considering the conflict occurred in SOC project, a research of conflict with project characteristics is necessary. In response to consider the relationships between characteristics of project and conflict, this paper aims to present the relative importance of the relationships. We conducted literature reviews and interviews with experts to select main characteristics of projects and public conflicts. Based on the selected four main characteristics each, we analyzed the relationships between them using Fuzzy AHP. The results show that SOC construction project type among project characteristics exerts the most important effect on overall public conflict. Especially conflict factors and conflict phases among public characteristics are critically influenced by project types. The findings provide a foundation for a conflict management reflecting varying public conflicts due to project characteristics.
