Methods of Conflict Analysis (5): Visualizing Conflicts

Mapping is a visual process of revealing participants to one another in their relationships.

(1) The objects are portrayed initially (for instance, by using circles representing the conflicting parties).

(2) The objects and their relations are assigned to the conflicting parties.

(3) Additional labelling can be used here to add further information.

Conflicting Parties
 The size of the circle can symbolize the (alleged) strength or number of persons.


 		 Relationship Lines
 The thickness of the lines symbolizes the intensity of the relationship.

 


 		 Jagged Lines
Relate to problem areas.




 

 Arrows
The direction of the arrow symbolizes the opposition. The size can signify the strength of opposition.

Outer circles signify different living spaces or social relations.
