| Zusammenfassung |
| In the early days of Systems Analysis the focus was on providing tools for
optimisation, modelling and simulation for use by experts. Now there is a
recognition of the need to develop and disseminate tools to assist in making
decisions, negotiating compromises and communicating preferences that can
easily be used by stakeholders without the need for specialist training. The
Water Framework Directive (WFD) requires public participation and thus
provides a strong incentive for progress in this direction. This paper
places the new paradigm in the context of the classical one and discusses
some of the new approaches which can be used in the implementation of the
WFD. These include multi-criteria decision support methods suitable for
environmental problems, adaptive management, cognitive mapping, social
learning and cooperative design and group decision-making. Concordance
methods (such as ELECTRE) and the Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) are
identified as multi-criteria methods that can be readily integrated into
Decision Support Systems (DSS) that deal with complex environmental issues
with very many criteria, some of which are qualitative. The expanding use of
the new paradigm provides an opportunity to observe and learn from the
interaction of stakeholders with the new technology and to assess its
effectiveness. |
