Abstract:Considering the complex relationship in multi-interest conflicts, a risk assessment model for pressure-state-response multi-interest conflicts is established from the subjects of government, immigrants, media and project entity based on the PSR model. Through the case study of Xichuan County, the conflict risks of the stakeholders during construction of South-to-North Water Diversion Project are investigated. The results show that the multi-interest conflict index of Xichuan County from 2008 to 2017 is in a decreasing trend, and the conflict risk level witnesses the “Large to small” process, but there is still potential sharply increasing risk. The empirical analysis indicates that the interest-sharing mechanism, immigrants' education level, social security rate and public opinion crisis have great impact on the multi-interest conflict risks. The research achievement may be helpful for risk assessment and prevention of other similar super-giant water projects.
