Stakeholders’ interactions in Water Management System: Insights from a MACTOR analysis in the R’Dom Sub-basin, Morocco

Abstract

This article aims to understand the typologies of stakeholders, their role in the water resources management system in the R’Dom Sub-basin(Morocco), and to identify the current and desired interactions among stakeholders. For this purpose, The MACTOR participatory approach was adopted to involve all key water stakeholders and to analyze their interactions. The action system was characterized by the analysis of related issues and relevant actors on the ground. Thus, ten actors and twelve objectives were identified and assessed in this study. The analysis of stakeholder games allowed to identify the typologies of stakeholders according to their strategic objectives and to evaluate their power, influence and dependence, as well as their convergence in a global water management system. The results show a significant level of convergence among stakeholders despite the existence of certain stakeholders who may be considered autonomous given their low involvement in integrated water management. Furthermore, there was a limited involvement of stakeholders in certain strategic objectives such as capacity building, technical means, and awareness-raising actions. The paper shows the need to generate greater collaborative efforts among water stakeholders involved in the implementation of integrated water resources management in the R'Dom sub-basin.

Polemic of stakeholders’ objectives in the decision of revitalization and relocation of the Sukawati traditional market as the most distinguished art market in Bali, Indonesia

“…So that this further clarifies the polemic of interest between actors over objectives related to the revitalization and relocation of traditional markets. Table 2MAO also presents a measurement of the degree of involvement of each stakeholder in all objectives by adding up the absolute values in rows, and also presents a measurement of stakeholder engagement by adding up the absolute values in columns (Ben- Daoud et al, 2021). It is known that actors who have a high degree of involvement are village government, official government, and market management.…”

“…The 3CAA and 3DAA matrix is used to measure the degree of convergence among stakeholders, which is determined by identifying the number of common positions that the pair actors have on the objectives (for or against) (Ben- Daoud, 2021). So that if the actors are close to each other, the more intense is their convergence (Godet, 2013), and so is divergence.…”

Stakeholders’ Interaction in Water Management System: Insights from a MACTOR Analysis in the R’Dom Sub-basin, Morocco

“…From a hydrogeological point of view, there are two important aquifers in the R'dom sub-basin, the deep aquifer and the Plio-Quaternary aquifer Essahlaoui 2000;Kessabi et al 2022). The region is marked by important economic activities, such as agriculture and food industry (Ben-Daoud et al 2012). These important economic activities have a negative impact on water sustainability in terms of quality and quantity (Ben-Daoud et al 2011).…”

Intelligent Tourism for a Fragile Ecosystem: Promoting Sustainability in the Santurbán Paramo with Industry 4.0

“…Figure5shows the results generated by the MACTOR software, providing a visual representation of the results. These are presented in four quadrants according to the relationship of in uence and dependence between them (Ben-Daoud et al, 2022; Castaño-Castellanos & Becerra-Ardila, 2020;Mohamed et al, 2021); in the lower left half-plane are the autonomous actors corresponding to Mining Associations (AsoMineros) and Actors of the armed con ict in Colombia (AcConArC). In the lower right half-plane are the actors with strong in uence on the advancement of sustainable tourism but with low dependence, which indicates that they are signi cant but not necessary in this case, Large mining…”
