One of the main reasons urban regeneration projects are highly complex and uncertain is that there are various stakeholders: additionally, the relationships among them are very complex. Considerable conflict tends to occur among the stakeholders of such projects. As a result, the success of an urban regeneration project on how successfully conflicts among stakeholders are mediated and a "middle ground"is found. In this respect, performing an adequate assessment of conflict-risk in advance is essential to effective project management. In this research, we propose a conflict-risk assessment model based on fuzzy-Failure mode and effect analysis (FMEA) for urban regeneration project. The proposed model largely consists of three steps: fuzzification, fuzzy rule-based inference, and defuzzification. The methodology and components of each step, such as a membership function for each of fuzzification and defuzzification, and a fuzzy rule base for approximate inference are proposed. To validate the effectiveness and suitability of the proposed conflict-risk assessment model, we applied the proposed conflict-risk assessment model to 121 conflict cases and to survey results from 84 people currently participating in urban regeneration projects.
