What are the stakeholders? Users and producers
of GI technology in protected areas

• Main categories of stakeholders in protected areas

• Group A Scientists
• (e.g. ecologists, foresters, geologists, etc)
• Group B Managers
• (e.g. park managers, local authorities, farmers,
  etc)
• Group C Direct users
• (e.g. school children, parents, boy scouts, NGOs,
  etc)
• There is a gradient of decreasing complexity from
  group A to C. So, in principle, data for group A
  should be usable for B and C, but not the other
  way round.

Stakeholders can then be stratified by
geographical scope

Producing 9 target groups.

Proposal from Aberdeen

How will stakeholders be identified?

• Web-hunting
• E-mail and personal contacts
• Contributions from partners
• Currently our main difficulties are getting
  information for countries with no partner and
  uncommon languages like Greece, Finland, Norway,
  Sweden
• It is also unclear what non EU countries should
  be targeted

7
How will stakeholders be approached?
First phase Stakeholders that should be asked to
answer both the preliminary and the final
versions of the questionnaire and are able to
make pressure if we have problems getting answers
on time.   Second phase Stakeholders that should
be asked to answer the final version of the
questionnaire alone.
