Main Objectives
• Development of educational material;
• Participatory multicriteria decision aid for selected study areas;
• Development of specific recommendations for effective stakeholder interactions.
Description of work and methodologies
In each study area, the institutional and legal importance of
participatory decision strategies in the conflicts will be used to
focus the following steps. Educational material will be developed to
support the stakeholder interactions. Aiming at informing the
stakeholders about all points of view of the conflict case (WP 2-6),
it will predominantly be based on the analysis of public perceptions.
This material will be further improved by the analysis of its use in
the decision processes and by stakeholder acceptance in training
courses.
Multicriteria decision aid is a technique for
facilitating stakeholder evaluations of different actions. It
integrates the different ecological, economic, and social points of
view. A framework for this analysis will be elaborated with the aim of
evaluating different actions. In a stakeholder workshop, decision
criteria and actions will be developed by the stakeholders, who judge
the results of the aggregation of criterial evaluations. The analysis
is firstly used as a means to support and structure the decision
process, and, secondly, as an evaluation tool allowing to synthesise
ecological, economic, and social evaluations. For the ecological
evaluations results of WP 7 & WP 8 will be used.
Based on the experience gained with the multicriteria decision aid as
well as the analysis of stakeholder interactions (input from WP 6)
we will develop specific recommendations for effective stakeholder
interactions. These recommendations will show a wide array of different
procedures, their advantages and disadvantages. It will be shown
whether or to what extent certain procedures may be used universally,
and which changes are necessary due to specific types of conflicts.
Information concerning funding sources for participatory decision
making will be included. The final procedures will be provided as input
to the framework for reconciliation action plans.
