Abstract: Abstract The paper presents a conflict analysis in an environmental impact assessment. In order to cope with a problem of traffic congestion in a tourist area, alternative transportation services and measures of travel demand management are studied and compared using the multi-attribute value theory. The problem is characterized by the presence of different criteria and conflicting actors who have different interests (expressed by criteria weights) and different decision power, which have been elicited from the actors’ representatives. A group viewpoint is generated through an aggregation of the different actors’ viewpoints, in order to find a group compromise solution. A conflict analysis, conducted on the criteria weights, is performed to examine the level of agreement associated with the compromise solution.
