Social networks and water management decision-making: a methodological approach to local case studies

Abstract

The purpose of this report is to provide a methodological approach to social networks analysis in the context of management of scarce natural resources, and to detail some theoretical and practical components about Workpackage 2 of MULINO project. The analysis of the social networks in the five local case studies aimed at understanding the role played by the actors in the decisional context in each case study as well as to engage them on the project activities. To accomplish this, a methodological approach was developed for establishing local networks of stakeholders, DSS users, and research institutions.
