“…Jackson et al, 2012;Innes, 2004), one NRM narrative suggested that destructive outcomes arose when decisions were made on the basis of models incomprehensible to laypersons. The models were, as far as the interviewee knew, unbiased and used with genuine intent to be fair -which makes this case different from situations where data is used disingenuously.…”

“…Aldred and Jacobs 2000; Kallis et al 2009;Paneque Salgado et al 2009;Jackson et al 2012). At the same time, the legislative emphasis in the European Union, and elsewhere, on public participation responds to the increasing demands for more transparency and fairness in risk management institutions and procedures (Renn 2008;Rowe et al 2004;Webler et al 1995;Webler et al 2001).…”

Compromise not consensus: designing a participatory process for landslide risk mitigation

With the escalating costs of landslides, the challenge for local authorities is to develop institutional arrangements for landslide risk management that are viewed as efficient, feasible and fair by those affected. For this purpose, the participation of stakeholders in the decision making process is mandated by the European Union as a way of improving its perceived legitimacy and transparency. This paper reports on an analytical-deliberative process for selecting landslide risk mitigation measures in the town of Nocera Inferiore in southern Italy. The process was structured as a series of meetings with a group of selected residents and several parallel activities open to the public. The preparatory work included a literature/media review, semi-structured interviews carried out with key local stakeholders and a survey eliciting residents' views on landslide risk management. The main point of departure in the design of this process was the explicit elicitation and structuring of multiple worldviews (or perspectives) among the participants with respect to the nature of the problem and its solution. Rather than eliciting preferences using decision analytical methods (e.g. utility theory or multi-criteria evaluation), this process built on a body of research -based on the theory of plural rationality -that has teased out the limited number of contending and socially constructed definitions of problem-andsolution that are able to achieve viability. This framing proved effective in structuring participants' views and arriving at a compromise recommendation (not, as is often aimed for, a consensus) on measures for reducing landslide risk. Experts played a unique role in this process by providing a range of policy options that corresponded to the different perspectives held by the participants.

“…Tailoring visual techniques for understanding the groundwater system to the purpose and needs of the local community, was made possible because of thorough stakeholder analyses undertaken to ensure relevance of the WPT project to the community, thus facilitating ''contextual'' communication (Hoverman and Ayre, 2012;Jackson et al, 2012;Tan et al, 2012).…”
