A Conflict Resolution Model Identifying Cause and Effect Relations by Using Fuzzy Expert System
Conflicts in public
construction works usually comprise many complex and interrelated factors that
mostly stem from contracting parties’ contradictions including ambiguity and
vagueness. Resolution process through a court system is a costly,
time-consuming activity and could delay the completion of a construction
project. Therefore, planned public services might be postponed and both the
project cost and the project quality might be adversely affected. The aim is to
develop a conflict resolution model by using fuzzy expert systems, establishing
a cause and effect relation according to both sides’ opinions.
