SPATIAL CONFLICT AND CONFLICT-RESOLUTION - A CLASSROOM SIMULATION

The role of space in conflict resolution, often overlooked, is explored in a classroom. The object of the Simulation game is to select a site for a noxious facility in an hypothetical Community. The site options create the kinds of interaction created in the real world, where the goals of some individuals conflict with those of the greater Community. The game highlights the group behaviour, political tensions and inequities in mobility and access commonly observed in conflicts. © 1990 Taylor & Francis Group
