Abstract
Cities are a source of economic activity, and house at the same time a wealth of historico-cultural heritage which needs to be protected. In many cities a conflict has arisen between the aim of reorienting the urban structure towards a more modern and efficient spatial lay-out and the need to preserve the historico-cultural heritage (see e.g. Nijkamp, 1988). Various aspects of the historico-cultural heritage are hardly measurable in cardinal units, so that ‘soft’ evaluation tools have to be used. In the present chapter a numerical illustration of conflict analysis in this area will be given, based on a qualitative sign analysis (see also Nijkamp, 1980). The aim is to present a simple method in case of qualitative information on impacts of new urban infrastructure plans.
