We analyze the collective surface diffusion coefficient, $D_c$, near first-order phase transitions at which two low temperature phases coexist, using a lattice-gas model on a triangular lattice. Assuming the local equilibrium approximation, we obtain, both numerically and analytically, the dependence of $D_c$ on the coverage and system size near such transitions. Four specific examples of transitions are considered for illustration. It is pointed out that the derived results are in fact rather general and not restricted only to the studied model.
