Abstract :
An environmental conflict that occurred in Elmira, a small town in southwestern Ontario, Canada is re-examined using a modified version of the Graph Model for Conflict Resolution (GMCR). A newly developed decision support system (DSS) is utilized to carry out the analysis using the new “Inverse GMCR” approach. The new DSS features automatic graph drawing and in-depth conflict analysis, and provide new insights.
