Research shows that various problem areas can arise during spatial development-related Public Private Partnerships (PPPs) that directly affect the partnership. Literature searches revealed that the specific characteristics of such a PPP are more prone to result in socio-emotional conflicts and that under certain circumstances can even escalate to become dysfunctional conflicts. 
The question at the centre of this study can be formulated as follows. What intervention measures can be taken in practice at an operational level to prevent dysfunctional conflicts from arising as part of spatial development-related PPPs?
Several intervention measures were uncovered throughout the entire study that contributed towards preventing dysfunctional conflicts from arising as part of spatial development-related PPPs. These intervention measures address aspects of feasibility and relationship in cooperative and competitive climates. The final conclusion is that dysfunctional conflicts arising as part of spatial development-related PPPs can be prevented by managing feasibility- and relationship-related aspects of the partnership.
