Full textAbstract:
Based on stakeholder and social exchange theory, this study examined a model of the relationship between stakeholder awareness, perception of impact (environmental, economic, and socio-cultural), and attitude toward ecotourism development in Mount Rinjani National Park (MRNP). The model was tested using a sample of 157 stakeholders. Data were collected by surveying and analyzing using the partial least squares. The results showed that only perception of the economic impacts of ecotourism partially mediated the relationship between awareness and attitude toward ecotourism development. From the perspective of stakeholder theory, the perceived impacts are heterogeneous. These differences will determine their attitude toward the level of support and participation. From the perspective of social exchange theory, the study showed that attitude toward ecotourism development is directly influenced by awareness of ecotourism and the perception of economic impact. The stakeholders on MRNT have a more compromising attitude toward ecotourism development to the socio-cultural and environmental impacts.

Stakeholder participation at the intersection of climate and health is essential to assess and plan for the human health impacts of current and projected climate-sensitive hazards. Using the Maricopa County Department of Public Health (MCDPH) Coalition on Climate Change and Public Health workgroup and the Climate Assessment for the Southwest (CLIMAS) program as examples, this paper describes the important role of scientist–public health stakeholder collaboratives in addressing the public health impacts of climate-sensitive hazards. Using the MCDPH and CLIMAS stakeholder groups, stakeholder connections were mapped to show relationships between the organization types and connections between scientists and public health stakeholders. Stakeholders, defined as meeting attendees, were primarily individuals from academic institutions (n = 175), government agencies (n = 114), non-profits (n = 90), and health departments (n = 85). Engaging public health stakeholders in transdisciplinary regional climate initiatives and addressing gaps in their networks helped these programs to develop more collaborative projects over time.

Full textAbstract:
ABSTRACT:We develop the concept of stakeholder salience to account for stakeholders who should matter to the firm, even when managers do not perceive them as important. While managers are responsible for attributing salience to stakeholders, they can overlook or ignore stakeholder importance because of market frictions that affect managerial perceptions or induce opportunism. When this happens, corporate financial and social performance can suffer. Thus, we propose that the perceptions of organizational and societal stakeholders should also codetermine the salience of the focal stakeholder to the firm. We also propose that stakeholder dialogue can reduce the impacts that market frictions can have on managerial perceptions of stakeholder interests that should matter to the firm. Finally, we discuss how the refined conceptualization of stakeholder salience might have better predictive validity, be more normative, and make instrumental and normative stakeholder theory more convergent.

Full textAbstract:
Urban regeneration, as an important way to enhance urban sustainable development capacity, is advancing at a high speed in China. However, urban regeneration involves various stakeholders, and there are frequent conflicts between these stakeholders due to the vast differences in their interests. When conflicts among stakeholders are not effectively controlled, they can have serious negative social and economic impacts, such as increased pressure on the government to maintain stability, increased costs to developers and reduced willingness of property owners to participate. These are all critical factor affecting the sustainability of urban regeneration. Therefore, this paper explored the mechanism underlying stakeholder conflict conduction in urban regeneration. Next, a literature review and case study were conducted to identify key conflict factors. Then, the factors of stakeholder conflict were assessed using questionnaire survey. Finally, the structural equation model (SEM) was used to analyze the pathways of stakeholder conflict conduction in urban regeneration; and 35 conflict conduction paths were found. Based on Pareto’s Law, 7 of the 35 stakeholder conflict paths were identified as critical paths with coefficients between 0.245–0.364. Empirical results revealed that different types of conflict factors have different impacts on stakeholder conflict conduction, among which interest distribution and stakeholder coordination were the critical factors to be considered. The findings provide alternatives Social-Based Solutions (SBS) for resolving stakeholder conflicts and provide practical guidance for integrating stakeholders, which is important to ensuring the sustainability of urban regeneration.

Full textAbstract:
Corporate communication has advanced significantly in the last few decades in terms of consumers, content, and channel. Companies must satisfy a variety of stakeholders, who are becoming more and more interested in non-financial information, in order to be held accountable. Furthermore, the kind and extent of the information can have a big impact on the company's competitive edge, notably its reputation and reliability. Social responsibility (CSR) programs are now mandatory for businesses in order to respond to stakeholder and societal calls for action. This study's goal is to find out how consumers view the impact of perception of stakeholders on an organization's decision to implement greenwashing techniques. Our goal is to comprehend and evaluate the diverse impacts that different kinds of deceptive environmental communications have on stakeholders' opinions of corporate responsibility for the environment and greenwashing. Evaluation will also be given to stakeholder reactions to an environmental issue.Different degrees of a greenwashing have a dramatically different impact on the opinions of stakeholders of corporate responsibility for the environment and their reactions.

Full textAbstract:
Invasive species denialism (ISD) is a controversial and hitherto underexplored topic, particularly with regard to its potential impacts on stakeholder engagement in support of invasive species management and policy. We examined how ISD is framed within the Great Lakes invasive species community, as well as the impacts of excluding and including those perceived as denialists in engagement efforts. We interviewed key informants in the region to gain an understanding of their framings of ISD, as well as focus groups allowing participants to discuss the impacts of exclusion and inclusion of stakeholders during the engagement process. ISD discussions were organised into three framings: 1) invasive species denialism; 2) invasive species cynicism; 3) invasive species nihilism. Participants raised concerns about outright exclusion of stakeholders and offered recommendations for mitigation of the impacts of inclusion of proponents of ISD in during stakeholder engagement. Our results have shown that a better understanding of the different framings of ISD is crucial to improve communication with stakeholders and to better inform responses and mitigation efforts. The newly defined framings of invasive species cynicism and invasive species nihilism demonstrate that more targeted responses to specific forms of ISD are needed to improve stakeholder engagement outcomes.

Full textAbstract:
This study explored the impact of stakeholder engagement on curriculum implementation at Ethiopian Defense University (EDU). It focuses on examining the effects of partnerships, stakeholder motivation, and decision-making on curriculum implementation. As a result, a descriptive survey research design with a mixed research approach was employed. A total of 166 respondents (109 students, 51 instructors, and six college commandants) were the participants of the study. Commandants were selected by purposive sampling, and instructors and students were selected randomly. Questionnaires and interviews were tools or sources of data. The quantitative data were analyzed using descriptive statistics (frequency, percentage, mean, and standard deviation) and inferential statistics (one-way ANOVA and independent samples t-test), whereas the qualitative data were analyzed through verbal description. Findings revealed that instructors value stakeholders’ support and commitment, while students appreciate the positive impact on their learning experience. The finding revealed that there is a strong positive correlation between stakeholder engagement and curriculum implementation effectiveness, emphasizing the importance of continuous interaction, feedback collection, and stakeholder knowledge for curriculum alignment. It also emphasizes the need for stakeholder engagement in decision-making processes and partnerships to improve curriculum implementation outcomes. The findings of the study may inspire further research and dialogue on stakeholder engagement in curriculum implementation, encouraging international audiences to explore innovative approaches and best practices that promote meaningful educational experiences for students in the field of pedagogy. The researcher suggested that EDU should prioritize stakeholder motivation, partnerships, and decision-making for effective curriculum implementation. This promotes ownership, engagement, and shared responsibility. Additionally, EDU should prioritize stakeholder engagement, support, understanding, commitment, and feedback to ensure the quality and effectiveness of curriculum implementation.

Abstract Effective Stakeholder Management (ESM) has been identified as one of the key requirements for successful project delivery by several scholars. This study, aimed at improving the chances of achieving successful Multifarious Infrastructure Projects’ (MIPs) delivery in Nigeria, was conducted through literature review, questionnaire survey and Relative Importance Index (RII) method of data analysis. The study identified 39 barriers to ESM in the delivery of MIPs in Nigeria, evaluated their respective impacts on projects’ delivery and ranked the barriers in ascending order of their respective impact levels. Failure to understand stakeholders’ needs and expectations, uncooperative attitude of stakeholders, failure to identify key stakeholders, failure to identify potential conflict areas, project manager’s poor knowledge of stakeholder management (SM), late identification of stakeholders, issuance of incorrect information to stakeholders, lack of stakeholder engagement/involvement, conflicts between stakeholders, misunderstanding of roles by stakeholders, lack of fairness and equity for all stakeholders and lack of continuity in SM process were ranked as the ten top barriers, in descending order, with highest levels of impact against ESM in MIPs delivery. The study also provided MIPs managers with an insight on the barriers to address/focus on in order to achieve ESM in the delivery of their projects. The study concluded that there was need to pay special attention to the above barriers due to their high impact level on ESM and improve current approaches to stakeholder management in MIPs delivery in order to improve the success rate of the projects. The study recommends development and effective implementation of an appropriate strategy for handling stakeholder management in the delivery of MIPs and other projects.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIn the realm of marine science, engaging with stakeholders (e.g., industry members, policy-makers, managers, NGOs) is an important method applied in many research projects. The Covid-19 pandemic has severely impacted this engagement in two ways. First, social distancing measures forbid most face-to-face participatory activities originally envisioned in projects. Second, the restrictions have caused hardships for the stakeholders being engaged by these projects. We assessed the impact of Covid-19 on stakeholder engagement activities in ongoing EU marine science projects by posing the following questions: What problems has Covid-19 caused for the workflow and outcomes of current research projects, (ii) how have scientists responsible for stakeholder engagement coped with the situation, and (iii) if alternative stakeholder activities were implemented, how have these been evaluated? Our survey was conducted nearly 2 months after the onset of Covid-19 lockdowns. It addressed researchers who engage with stakeholders in EU projects and delivers insights into the practical implications of Covid-19 for stakeholder engagement and the measures taken to tackle this challenge. The paper highlights the impacts of the pandemic on stakeholder engagement in marine science, outlines current coping strategies in different EU projects, and recommends seven practical actions to promote and maintain meaningful exchange with stakeholders in times of social distancing and lockdowns.

Full textAbstract:
A significant theory of corporate social responsibility is the Stakeholder Model. Within this model, entities make decisions that impact all stakeholders. Occasionally, the decision that is made ultimately impacts one stakeholder differently than another. Negative data by its very definition is seen as problematic for any organization as it pertains to its stakeholders. When confronted with the data or the potential of the data being negative to desired outcomes or directions of programs, an organization’s leadership may be faced with an ethical conundrum. Should the data be included and shown to all stakeholders? Or should the data be buried and avoided even to the point of engaging in questionable conduct in the management of paperwork and record keeping?

Full textAbstract:
With America’s recent needs for creating jobs, mitigating greenhouse gas emissions, and becoming "energy independent" from foreign nations, the large-scale deployment of solar energy projects has been proclaimed a solution for rapidly generating "clean" energy. Federal agencies have been mandated by law to expedite the siting of utility-scale solar energy projects (USSEPs) on public lands. In particular, the Bureau of Land Management (BLM) has focused on USSEP development by creating a national solar energy program as well as state-specific programs for encouraging USSEP development, and has thus far approved two USSEPs in Arizona. Although operational USSEPs do not emit greenhouse gases, they are not completely benign to the environment. USSEPs incur negative impacts on soils, vegetation, air quality, and other natural and cultural resources. Because USSEPs have the potential to mitigate climate change, yet incur other negative environmental impacts, the reaction of citizen stakeholders such as environmental advocates to public lands USSEP development has been mixed. Environmental advocate groups have both encouraged BLM to build USSEPs, and filed lawsuits discouraging project development. In light of the ability of environmental advocates to influence USSEP development, this study explored the complex opinions of members of environmental organizations, conservation groups, watershed initiatives, and solar industry professionals regarding USSEP development on Arizona public lands. Through a review of relevant literature, a content analysis of BLM environmental review documents, and the distribution and statistical analysis of an opinion survey, the study provides insight into the implications of the current BLM Arizona siting process and specific, up-to-date stakeholder perspectives. The results indicate that while BLM Arizona siting policies do attempt to address environmental concerns, significant concerns about the current USSEP siting process remain, and that environmental advocates' support for public lands USSEPs is lower than their support for renewable energy development in general. Stakeholders reported having low levels of three items: knowledge of current solar technologies, understanding of the current federal USSEP siting process, and confidence that the government will appropriately site solar energy projects. Addressing those items may alleviate tensions between stakeholders and public lands decision-makers, resulting in faster and more environmentally responsible USSEP siting.

Full textAbstract:
Sharks and manta rays are being heavily fished in Indonesia due to Asian demand for shark fins and manta gill rakers. The Indonesian government passed legislation in February 2014 to protect the two species of manta rays. A number of shark species have also been protected or banned from export. A major factor in this decision was the proven economic benefits from ecotourism compared to the economic benefits from the shark finning and manta gill industry.However, previous research on marine conservation underlines that there is a lack of social scientific studies on the socio-economic impacts that marine conservation have on stakeholder fishing communities. In an attempt to start filling this gap of knowledge, the purpose of this thesis was to investigate how the shark and manta ray conservation efforts affect the socio-economic situation of different stakeholder fishing communities in Indonesia. Fieldwork was done in fishing communities in the Komodo and Nusa Penida regions, together with the fishing village Tanjung Luar in Lombok, where people in fishing communities were interviewed about their livelihood situation. The study found that the impacts of marine conservation on the economic situation for stakeholder fishermen affects their attitude towards and compliance with marine conservation efforts. If no profitable economic alternatives are given to fishing, fishing communities have a lower degree of compliance with conservation efforts.

Mining has always played an important role in human development. The growing demand for miningnowadays puts under threat biodiversity and ecosystem services, which leads to many conflicts based on choicebetween environment protection and social and economical development. Studying a case of a limestone quarryon Northern Gotland as one of the most representative cases of such conflict, gave an opportunity to investigateand analyze the cost of the decision-making in mining as well as interaction between stakeholders affecting andbeing affected by the decision from the perspective of the group opposing to mining. The research showedweakness of communication between the stakeholders; the weakness of the argument supporting social andeconomical development and giving it higher priority than the environment; and the best possible solution whichwould be turning the whole area of interest into a national park, even though such solution would not fulfilltheinterests of the mining company.

Full textAbstract:
Improving the availability of secure energy supplies for the poorest rural communities is central to development efforts. World-wide, climate change concerns have led to growing interest in renewable sources, including modern forms of bioenergy. Drivers behind its adoption are diverse, location and scale dependent, and result in multi-level trade-offs. Although impacts are context-specific, bioenergy production and use have a wider impact on issues including deforestation, biodiversity loss, water shortages and food price increases. At local levels reports of labour exploitation, loss of local land rights, market interference and resource depletion are alarming. However, bioenergy projects continue to be promoted and implemented for potential social, environmental and economic benefits, particularly in rural areas of developing countries. Efforts to ensure sustainable bioenergy at international levels are emerging, with varying success. Existing market and legislative efforts are often insufficient to ensure positive socio-economic and environmentally sound outcomes locally. This thesis therefore aims to provide two approaches to incorporate socio-economic aspects in planning for sustainable bioenergy production in rural areas of developing countries. The research uses India and Uganda as substantive case studies. Based on these experiences, and in order to better understand the social effects of bioenergy feedstock production, a straightforward two step methodology for assessing social effects of bioenergy projects in developing countries is proposed, intended to be embedded within a planning for sustainability framework. One of the main barriers to success has been effective multi-stakeholder consultation (MSC). To address this, a second approach is conceived, for identifying and understanding stakeholders and their dynamics (in terms of roles, requirements and risks). Initially this focuses on liquid biofuel production models in India using five Jatropha curcas L.-based biodiesel production models in Chhattisgarh State, where the significant distinctions between them are: land ownership and value chain; and market end use and route. When analysing social impacts locally the risks and responsibilities of different stakeholder groups must be considered. The approach is then trialled on eight predominately theoretical models of woody biomass for gasification in Uganda, where the main distinctions are land ownership and feedstock type. Key social issues vary by whether models are corporately or farmer/NGO led, and what production arrangements were in place. Scale of plantation and market size were found to be important; small, privately owned models are unlikely to benefit landless poor and could deplete resources without strategic planning, while larger projects employ more, but often have longer term natural resource impacts. Bioenergy initiatives which collaborate with the rural poor and landless are found to be most likely to result in socio-economic rural development, and one of the proposed Ugandan models which potentially offers social benefits is analysed in terms of additional outcomes. The analysis concludes it is: economically viable; will produce significantly less carbon than generators (dependent on plantation productivity); will not impact local water resources significantly (if converting rangeland); and requires capacity building and stakeholder participation from the outset to promote local ownership and troubleshooting ability. The importance of strategic planning and departmental coordination, and the need for a pilot case to allow the technology to be tested, are shown. It is concluded that participation of stakeholders in the sustainability planning process is crucial, and the approaches proposed in this thesis are robust facilitating tools. Context-specific assessments, such as these, are essential in planning for sustainable bioenergy production and would be expected to facilitate successful MSC and ultimately sustainability planning, improving its contribution to policy making.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe role of multistakeholder collaboration in solving complex sustainability challenges is emphasised across academic literature. Stakeholders from different sectors typically adhere to different institutional logics and create value in different ways. Alignment reflects how stakeholders orient themselves towards multiple institutional logics in collaborative value creation. By reviewing the extant research literature, we identify the value-consolidation mechanisms employed in aligning institutional logics in stakeholder engagement. We empirically examine these mechanisms in three key dimensions: stakeholders’ cognition, goals, and practices. Two multistakeholder collaborations for circular economy were selected for the case study. After collecting interviews and document data and conducting qualitative content analysis, we found that several value-consolidation mechanisms were applied side by side in dynamic ways to align the cognition, goals, and practices of the stakeholders. Findings indicate that perfect alignment in multistakeholder settings may be hard to reach, but this does not always hinder collaborative value creation. The proposed framework offers alignment instruments for practitioners pursuing stakeholder engagement in collaborative value creation. Scholars can use the framework to determine which conditions incite the use of certain value-consolidation mechanisms, as well as what kinds of impacts this has on collaborative value creation.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractThe function of sanitation is to control the fate of human waste. A toilet is only the entrance to sanitation, and human waste as materials need to be appropriately handled throughout a sanitation service chain to control the impact of human waste on the environment. While the toilet has a private aspect, post-toilet sanitation has a public aspect. It is unclear how individuals and society should share the impact of post-toilet sanitation. Sanitation enabling the use of human waste may have greater material, socio-cultural, and health impacts in society than sanitation that does not enable the use of human waste. If the impacts caused by sanitation are unreasonable, sanitation will not be sustainable. Designing a sanitation service chain is traditionally an engineering-based business that optimizes these impacts, especially from the material and health aspects. However, in the real world, the system with the maximum benefit and minimum burden as a total for society is not necessarily preferred by all individual stakeholders. Rather than simply adjusting stakeholders’ interests, sanitation may actively establish appropriate relationships with each stakeholder, even on an individual level, to be more sustainable. Such a design approach would go beyond the traditional design approaches of sanitation optimization that use conventional engineering tools.

AbstractStakeholder networks in the circular economy (CE) address sustainable production and consumption within a regenerative system. Thus, studying stakeholder interactions within these networks provides essential insight into action urgently required to help businesses foster more harmony between human activity and nature. However, management literature on CE lacks an appropriate analytical lens on stakeholder engagement. To overcome this gap, we conducted a systematic literature review that integrated qualitative content analysis of management research on CE to untangle the complexity of stakeholder interactions in CE. We identify specific aims, activities, and impacts of stakeholder engagement in CE according to their moral, strategic, and pragmatic components. Pragmatic stakeholder engagement dominates our sample, but the research illustrates that embracing moral and strategic stakeholder engagement is equally vital to leveraging stakeholder relationship synergies in CE. Our categorisation of stakeholder engagement in CE provides an overview for researchers and managers and points to the value of the underlying stakeholder network logic for collaboratively addressing environmental challenges such as climate change and biodiversity loss. Correspondingly, we enhance understanding of the intersection of stakeholder engagement with CE management literature and provide an agenda for future research.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract Various frameworks have been employed in the monitoring and evaluation of tourism impacts in protected areas (PAs). Aware of their limitations, this chapter adopts a longitudinal, stakeholder-driven approach to examine the emerging impacts to gateway communities near PAs in Batanes, the Philippines, as part of a larger initiative to establish a sustainable tourism observatory in the islands. Findings show perception of impacts to be interconnected with discourses on the role of tourism in development, conflicts over resource use and place identity, and reveal the strength of a discursive approach. Anchored in stakeholder engagement, eliciting factors that underlie tourism impacts in a PA include weak local governments with strong central administrations focused on maximizing economic growth over other concerns, such as sustainability, and robust place attachment driven by rootedness. They point to the importance of improving governance and raising the possibility of co-management as a mechanism to reform PA management.

Full textAbstract:
AbstractIndustrial Tree Plantation (ITP) in Indonesia has been controversial due to its significant environmental, economic, and social impacts and the severe conflicts among stakeholders. Therefore, it is crucially important to discuss the fundamental structure of the conflicts to promote going forward. We introduce the concept of “legitimacy” and discuss the (1) inequality of the landholding structure and (2) legal pluralism established by historical circumstances as the fundamental structure of the conflicts. Our discussions present some key lessons in promoting collaboration among stakeholders. The first lesson is that the degree of interest and priority for problems differs among stakeholders. Therefore, an understanding of these differences is the first step toward collaboration. The second lesson is about the importance of considering history. Awareness of the problem, interpretation of the historical facts, and evaluation of other stakeholders by a certain stakeholder change over time. Therefore, to start a collaboration, it is necessary to build a consensus among stakeholders as a time point to go back to in order to discuss the problem. The third lesson is that a procedure for data presentation agreeable among stakeholders as independent, neutral, and fair is essential for their collaborations. Especially in cases where conflicts among stakeholders are intensive, it appears that confidence in and interpretation of presented data are different for each stakeholder. Therefore, data presentation agreeable to all stakeholders is essential to promote their collaborations. Unlike conventional scientific research, scientists are required to uphold various values existing in society to collaborate with stakeholders in transdisciplinary research of Future Earth.

Full textAbstract:
Abstract This study explores the perceived impacts of short-term rentals (STRs) in the UK through a quantitative analysis. A 57-item questionnaire covering sociocultural, economic, political, environmental and technological impacts of STRs was distributed online among guests, hosts and aware non-users. Apart from descriptive statistics, the data analysis included a principal component analysis to explore the dimensionality of the perceived impacts, and an analysis of variance (ANOVA) to assess differences in the community-related dimensions among the included groups. The results reveal that: (i) STRs are perceived relatively ambivalently but slightly more positively than negatively; (ii) environmental care, urban transformation, social capital and lifestyle, housing, infrastructure and events, and antisocial behaviour and crime are the key dimensions of the perceived impact; and (iii) stakeholder groups who were more involved in STRs perceived the impact of such rentals positively. We discuss the findings in the light of the literature on community resilience.

Singapore: Springer Singapore, 2021. http://dx.doi.org/10.1007/978-981-15-8014-7_12.
Full textAbstract:
AbstractOver the past decades, farm-level yields of cowpea have remained low (0.6–0.8 t/ha) compared to what is observed on research fields (1.8–2.5 t/ha). Lack of farmer access to quality seeds of improved varieties and inappropriate cultural practices are the major factors responsible for the low productivity of the crop. The use of Innovative Platforms (IPs) as a strategy to facilitate farmer access to quality seeds was, therefore, considered under the Tropical Legume (TL) III and USAID Cowpea Outscaling projects in Northern Ghana. The platform activities started in 2016 with a total membership of 100, which increased steadily to 820 by December 2018. The research team of the Council for Scientific and Industrial Research-Savannah Agricultural Research Institute (CSIR-SARI) trained platform members to produce certified seeds to be supplied to target communities, thereby enhancing smallholder farmers’ access to improved varieties. A total of 1848 members of the platform were trained in various farm operations. A revolving system was set up in which each farmer group was supplied with improved seed and after harvesting returned the equivalent of seed received to the platform. Having been trained to produce their own seed, members of the platform are self-reliant in acquiring improved seed and are actively engaged in various operations that sustain the gains of the two projects that have been phased out.

AbstractThis chapter is concerned with setting up practical guardrails within the research activities and environments of Computational Social Science (CSS). It aims to provide CSS scholars, as well as policymakers and other stakeholders who apply CSS methods, with the critical and constructive means needed to ensure that their practices are ethical, trustworthy, and responsible. It begins by providing a taxonomy of the ethical challenges faced by researchers in the field of CSS. These are challenges related to (1) the treatment of research subjects, (2) the impacts of CSS research on affected individuals and communities, (3) the quality of CSS research and to its epistemological status, (4) research integrity, and (5) research equity. Taking these challenges as motivation for cultural transformation, it then argues for the incorporation of end-to-end habits of Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) into CSS practices, focusing on the role that contextual considerations, anticipatory reflection, impact assessment, public engagement, and justifiable and well-documented action should play across the research lifecycle. In proposing the inclusion of habits of RRI in CSS practices, the chapter lays out several practical steps needed for ethical, trustworthy, and responsible CSS research activities. These include stakeholder engagement processes, research impact assessments, data lifecycle documentation, bias self-assessments, and transparent research reporting protocols.

Abstract There is potential for multi-stakeholder social impact design approaches to help advance design and modeling processes in engineering for global development. Adding multiple stakeholders, however, raises questions about how to choose stakeholders, weight their preferences, and ultimately model the perceived or actual impacts of products on stakeholders. While methods for handling the interests of multiple stakeholders exist in the literature, they are not without problems that are often exacerbated when modeling social impact in an engineering for global development setting. The purpose of this paper is to articulate some of the barriers and open research questions for handling multiple stakeholder interests during the process of designing engineering for global development products. Six challenges and sixteen research questions are presented.

Full textAbstract:
Megaprojects are an essential part in social, economic, and environmental developments and they attract a consortium of stakeholders ranging from governments, communities, international consumers, and suppliers. Hence, stakeholder management in these projects contributes significantly to projects’ success and sustainability. The research project, on which this paper is based on, aims to identify key challenges and propose suitable strategies to manage stakeholders in megaprojects for better sustainability outcomes. In achieving this aim, the research re-viewed key concepts related to project stakeholder management in megaprojects, explored sustainable challenges and analysed appropriate stakeholder management strategies through a secondary review of two major case studies of megaprojects in Sydney, Australia. The key findings discovered that the main factors influencing stakeholders were related to social, economic and environmental impacts of the project and, the need for managing them through proactive stakeholder management strategies. The implications of this research guide project managers on managing stakeholders on megaprojects and inform on possible challenges and solutions to achieve sustainable outcomes. Further research could extend and replicate on other case studies in different contexts and project types.

Existing studies stress the need to take stakeholder values into account in the design process. In this study the impact of AR on stakeholders' values is investigated by conducting focus groups and interviews, using value sensitive design as a framework. Significant impacts were found on the values of safety, accuracy, privacy, helpfulness and autonomy. Twenty practical design choices to mitigate potential negative impact emerged from the study.

Sustainability accounting is a way of accounting that considers the economic, social, and environmental impacts of an organization's activities. Key theoretical concepts and practices in sustainability accounting include triple bottom line accounting, environmental accounting, social accounting, integrated reporting, materiality, and assurance. Common sustainability accounting indicators include carbon footprint, water usage, waste generation, energy consumption, social impact, biodiversity, economic impact, and supply chain sustainability. Practice issues in sustainability accounting include data availability and quality, materiality and stakeholder engagement, measurement and reporting standards, integration with financial reporting, verification and assurance, and cost and resource constraints. By addressing these practice issues, organizations can improve their sustainability accounting practices, identify areas for improvement, set sustainability goals, and demonstrate their sustainability performance to stakeholders.

Service-learning is an established pedagogy which integrates experiential learning with community service. It has been widely adopted in higher education around the world including in Hong Kong, yet the key ingredients that determine its successful impacts for its stakeholders have not been fully assessed. This study reviewed the past literature, which indicates the key ingredients that may be found in successful service-learning programmes. We identify six key ingredients: students provide meaningful service; the community partner representative plays a positive role; effective preparation and support for students; effective reflection by students; effective integration of service-learning within the course design; and stakeholder synergy in terms of collaboration, communication and co-ownership. In order to obtain an inter-subjectively fair and trustworthy data set, reflecting the extent to which those key ingredients are perceived to have been achieved, we propose a multi-stakeholder approach for data collection, involving students, instructors and community partner representatives.

Full textAbstract:
The Legacy Ponds and Silos (LP&S) facilities are part of the UK nuclear legacy located at the Sellafield Site, Cumbria. There are four individual facilities containing nuclear wastes that have accumulated over a period of approximately 50 years. Waste retrieval and conditioning, in preparation for decommissioning, is currently being carried out by the site operator. LP&S have recently proposed a re-engagement with stakeholders following the initial engagement in December 2005. This paper reviews this earlier engagement in terms of the nature of dialogue that was carried out when compared against definitions of deliberation provided in the literature. The aim of this paper is to provide those planning future engagement with a better understanding of how the nature of dialogue can vary and uses participation and deliberation as indicators of effective engagement. A concern of those working towards a programme of effective stakeholder participation in 2005 was how to ensure genuine dialogue and stakeholder representation in such a strictly controlled and regulated environment with a technical complexity that challenges technical specialist and layperson alike. LP&S recognised that effective dialogue with stakeholders on the available technical options and their associated societal impacts would form a significant part of this process if options were to prove resilient. However, the challenge presented to LP&S was how to engage stakeholders on a variety of projects, whilst ensuring the output could be used by the projects as part of their technical decision making. Initial contact was made with stakeholders in December 2005, as part of a ‘Baseline’ Best Practicable Environmental Option (BPEO) study. A BPEO study leads to decisions on waste management based on an integrated assessment of alternative options, on the basis of factors such as the occupational and environmental risks, the environmental impacts, costs and social implications of the options. An engagement framework was also developed by LP&S to understand the engagement within the context of that taking place nationally and internationally. LP&S plan to reconvene stakeholders as part of the commitment made to them in 2006 to review progress on decommissioning projects. Currently, the strategy by which this will be achieved is unclear, however it is proposed that rather than full engagement, LP&S will provide a series of information updates to the West Cumbria Site Stakeholder Group (WCSSG). Representing local interests only and potentially reducing the opportunity for deliberation, further research is recommended to assess the nature of dialogue and the role of deliberation in this type of forum.

American Society of Mechanical Engineers, 2022. http://dx.doi.org/10.1115/imece2022-96016.
Full textAbstract:
Abstract Elicitation of requirements is a critical step in any product development process. An effective elicitation process can lead to capturing more requirements with higher degrees of novelty, variety, and completeness. Current elicitation techniques such as questionnaires, interviews, focus groups, prototyping, and brainstorming often fail to keep the stakeholders and designers engaged and may face issues, such as lack of stakeholder involvement and poor communication and collaboration. Thus, these techniques become prone to capturing ambiguous or incomplete requirements or even missing some requirements. In recent years, the application of gamification (e.g., leveraging gaming features in non-gaming contexts to create engaging and interactive user experiences) has shown promising effects in improving the motivation and participation of users in different design activities. In this paper, we present the results of a preliminary study on the impacts of gamification features on requirements elicitation activity. An experiment was conducted using two versions of a survey to elicit requirements: (1) a gamified questionnaire and (2) a non-gamified, conventional questionnaire. In both surveys, the participants were asked to generate a list of requirements. The gathered sets of requirements were then analyzed using statistical methods and compared based on three metrics: completeness, variety, and novelty. Our findings suggest that gamification positively impacts participants’ engagement, leading to a greater number of requirements. The preliminary results indicate differences in all three metrics considered here. However, there is no statistical significance in these differences to have confidence in the made observations due to the small sample size. As an initial attempt to investigate the impacts of gamification and how they could be evaluated, our study develops a preliminary understanding of the effects of gamification on requirements elicitation.

Full textAbstract:
Since 1981, the Community Environmental Monitoring Program (CEMP) has involved stakeholders directly in its daily operation and data collection, as well as in dissemination of information on radiological surveillance in communities surrounding the Nevada Test Site (NTS), the primary location where the United States (US) conducted nuclear testing until 1992. The CEMP is funded by the US Department of Energy’s National Nuclear Security Administration, and is administered by the Desert Research Institute (DRI) of the Nevada System of Higher Education. The CEMP provides training workshops for stakeholders involved in the program, and educational outreach to address public concerns about health risk and environmental impacts from past and ongoing NTS activities. The network includes 29 monitoring stations located across an approximately 160,000 km2 area of Nevada, Utah and California in the southwestern US. The principal radiological instruments are pressurized ion chambers for measuring gamma radiation, and particulate air samplers, primarily for alpha/beta detection. Stations also employ a full suite of meteorological instruments, allowing for improved interpretation of the effects of meteorological events on background radiation levels. Station sensors are wired to state-of-the-art dataloggers that are capable of several weeks of on-site data storage, and that work in tandem with a communications system that integrates DSL and wireless internet, land line and cellular phone, and satellite technologies for data transfer. Data are managed through a platform maintained by the Western Regional Climate Center (WRCC) that DRI operates for the U.S. National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration. The WRCC platform allows for near real-time upload and display of current monitoring information in tabular and graphical formats on a public web site. Archival data for each station are also available on-line, providing the ability to perform trending analyses or calculate site-specific exposure rates. This configuration also allows for remote programming and troubleshooting of sensors. Involvement of stakeholders in the monitoring process provides a number of benefits, including increased public confidence in monitoring results, as well as decreasing costs by more than 50 percent from when the program was managed entirely by U.S. federal employees. Additionally, the CEMP provides an ideal platform for testing new environmental sensors.

Full textAbstract:
The study identified three areas – structural environment, social environment and the stakeholder themselves, that cause difficult situations in projects related to stakeholders, and also some examples of what difficult situations typically look like in a project. The study found that difficult situations have an impact on a project, as well as on the project manager themselves. Building on this the research identified that project managers adopt two different coping strategies when they deal with difficult situations created by project stakeholders. These are project coping strategies and personal coping strategies. The research findings enabled a validated framework for Coping Strategies with Difficult Stakeholders to be developed whilst highlighting some practical recommendations for project management practitioners to use when encountering difficult stakeholders.

In Nigeria, basic education has remained poor and is characterised by unhealthy attributes, including low quality infrastructure and a lack of effective management of primary and secondary schools. Access to education is a massive issue—according to the United Nations, there are currently about 10.5 million out of school children in Nigeria, and 1 in every 5 of the world’s out-of-school-children lives in Nigeria despite the fact that primary education in Nigeria is free. A considerable divide exists between the northern and southern regions of Nigeria, with the southern region performing better across most education metrics. That said, many children in southern Nigeria also do not go to school. In Nigeria’s South West Zone, 2016 data from the Nigerian Federal Ministry of Education reveals that Lagos State has the highest number of out of school children with more than 560,000 children aged 6-11 not going to school. In the South South Zone, Rivers State has the highest number of out-of-school children; more than 900,000 children aged 6-11 are not able to access education in this state. In Enugu State in the South East Zone, there are more than 340,000 children who do not have access to schooling (2016 is the most recent year high-quality data is available—these numbers have likely increased due to the impacts of COVID-19). As part of its political economy research project, the RISE Nigeria team conducted surveys of education stakeholders in Enugu State including teachers, parents, school administrators, youth leaders, religious leaders, and others in December 2020. The team also visited 10 schools in Nkanu West Local Government Area (LGA), Nsukka LGA, and Udi LGA to speak to administrators and teachers, and assess conditions. It then held three RISE Education Summits, in which RISE team members facilitated dialogues between stakeholders and political leaders about improving education policies and outcomes in Enugu. These types of interactions are rare in Nigeria and have the potential to impact the education sector by increasing local demand for quality education and government accountability in providing it. Inputs from the surveys in the LGAs determined the education sector issues included in the agenda for the meeting, which political leaders were able to see in advance. The Summits culminated with the presentation of a social contract, which the team hopes will aid stakeholders in the education sector in monitoring the government’s progress on education priorities. This article draws on stakeholder surveys and conversations, insights from the Education Summits, school visits, and secondary data to provide an overview of educational challenges in Enugu State with a focus on basic education. It then seeks to highlight potential solutions to these problems based on local stakeholders’ insights from the surveys and the outcomes of the Education Summits.

Full textAbstract:
CONTEXT: Social Licence to Operate (SLO) encompasses the broad socio-political understanding on the part of multiple stakeholders that a mining operation’s social and environmental impacts and measures are legitimate and acceptable. The multiple and variously interacting stakeholder groups— local communities, environmental actors, Indigenous communities, regulators, local governments, industry peak bodies, financiers, affiliated businesses—have the proven capacity to confer and/or disrupt a mining operation’s SLO. The presence or absence of a SLO can have significant consequences not only for stakeholder groups, including the mining operation, but also for the shared development of a good mining future. Conceptualisation of what is ‘good mining’ is central to future planning and decisions around development, adoption and reception of new technologies and sustainable mining futures. CHECKLIST PURPOSE This first of its kind tool seeks to facilitate genuine multistakeholder interactions and development of a dynamic shared SLO to advance good mining.

Full textAbstract:
In this paper, we show how the policy concept Responsible Research and Innovation (RRI) intends to offer added value to scientific research processes and its manifold results and how these anticipated benefits can be measured. We set out to address the recognized challenge of impact monitoring for projects working with RRI by developing a template that can pay attention to the so far hardly considered outputs, outcomes and impacts of a particular RRI project. Its usage goes beyond monitoring and evaluating purposes at the end of a project, as our proposed set of indicators can provide scholars and practitioners with guidance and inspiration in the early design or implementation phase of a project. From a policy-making point of view, this paper also highlights that developing monitoring and evaluation systems can significantly profit from stakeholder engagement and co-creation approaches, adding a bottom-up perspective to top-down suggestions of the research funders.

Full textAbstract:
Trade-linked cross-border climate impacts have the potential to severely disrupt the European economy. Yet, the research landscape that surrounds these potential impacts remains in a relatively nascent stage. Importantly, whilst quantitative approaches can be applied in isolation to develop our understanding of cascading cross-border impacts, these should ideally be supplemented by the broader development of knowledge as to how initial climate triggers might evolve via trade systems, might interact with the actions and activities of supply chain actors, and how the wider policy landscape might act as an enabler or barrier to EU climate resilience. The objective of this deliverable is to provide a set of preliminary policy insights resulting from a summary and synthesis of outputs from WP3 of the CASCADES project. Outputs of WP3 encompass the quantitative results of models applied to the exploration of the impacts of climate change on EU trade-linked systems, and qualitative analysis of stakeholder viewpoints – supplemented by information from the wider literature – which highlights key climate-linked concerns, potential responses, and interactions with policy. The deliverable is divided below into three main sections. The first provides a synthesis and related policy implications based on a summary of the outcomes of research activities conducted in CASCADES WP3. Then, the remainder of the report is divided into discrete summaries of the analysis conducted. Analysis Section 1 summarises the quantitative outcomes of WP3 models. Analysis Section 2 summarises the qualitative components of WP3 within the form of three focal trade-linked case studies: a) food systems, b) the soy supply chain, c) energy transition minerals. The depth and breadth of these three case studies differs (more explanation on scope of coverage and methods applied can be found in Analysis Section 2). The Deliverable overall is intended to act as a starting point for (for food systems and soy supply chains) a more in-depth exploration of the policy environment that surrounds trade-linked cross-border impacts that will link to WP6 of the CASCADES project.
