  1. WINCOMS :Water Framework Directive – Integration, Negotiation and Communication of Optimal Measures with Stakeholders Michael Bruen, Mary Kelly, William Magette

  2. WINCOMS • WFD: a detailed assessment of available measures • recommendations for and practical demonstrations of decision support systems • integrate knowledge of the best available measures with the criteria and preferences of all relevant stakeholders • can be used for decision analysis, negotiation and mediation in developing WFD policy and measures

  3. Research Context

  4. Objective 1 Produce a comprehensive scientific and technical description of all measures available to meet the requirements of the WFD together with a ranking on the basis of all relevant criteria, using formal multi-criteria methods. [ ranked list of measures and criteria]. These results are targeted principally at RBD decision makers, but will also add to stakeholder and general technical understanding of the performance, advantages and disadvantages of all potential measures.

  5. Objective 2 Survey existing decision support systems and identify a short-list of 2 or 3 of the most suitable for WFD decision-making. Implement, adopt and test these in a case-study situation (using the ERBD project), evaluate their performance (particularly in respect of interaction with stakeholders) and recommend the most suitable system or approach. [ survey of DSS, ranked short-list and demonstration of recommended DSS in conjunction with Eastern RBD ]. The principle targets are stakeholders and decision makers involved in WFD activities.

  6. Objective 3 Identify and study the knowledge, opinions and preferences of all relevant stakeholders and integrate the results with the decision support systems implemented in objective 2.[  report on stakeholders attitudes and preferences, on practicality and value of DSS as decision, negotiation and mediating tool in developing policy/ measures.] These results will be of wide applicability in the sociology of environmental opinions and preferences and the communication and influence of science knowledge.

  18. Decision Support Systems : Pressures • Increasing quantity of data ( spatial) • Increasing complexity of analysis ( models) • Need for visualisation/demonstration of results ( decision makers) • Transparent and logical decision support ( MCDA) • Public participation ( stakeholders)

  38. SOCIOLOGISTS

  39. Aspects / Reviews • Approaches to management/decision problem • Formal Multi-Criteria Decision tools • Modelling Frameworks • Existing DSS systems • People Issues • Other Issues

  40. Approaches - I • Adaptive management • Argumentative approach • Cognitive Mapping • Cooperative modelling and design • Domains of discourse • Ecosystem approach • Evidential Reasoning • Groups: Negotiation and Consensus building

  41. Approaches -II • Qualitative Reasoning • Rule-based approaches • Scenario analysis • Social Learning • Social multi-criteria decision support • Soft systems approach • Traditional Community Governance

  42. Adaptive Management - 1 • Recognises that because of significant uncertainties in the operation and management of environmental systems and that pre-determined optimal solutions may not be appropriate. • Policy evolves in response to better understanding based on studying the effects and effectiveness of policy changes

  43. Adaptive Management-2 • Recognises significant uncertainty in hydro-ecological systems • Iterative management decisions are “experiments” • Explicit experimental learning procedure to reduce uncertainty • Also better validation of models • Can be “Passive” or “Active”

  44. Adaptive Management: examples • Water Framework Directive cycle • “Room for the River” – the Netherlands • “Managed Retreat” – the U.K. • In-built flexibility (e.g. OPW & Climate Change) - Ireland

  45. Argumentative approach • The study of argumentation is deeplyrooted in various disciplines such as philosophy,logic andlinguistics, • deals with the verbal, contextual, situationaland other pragmatic factors ofcommunication process inareas where logic cannot adequately address the situation.
