“…The important contextual factors that drive inclusiveness were pointed out in the literature; these included the diversity of participants that requires the inclusion of varied interests or opinions and the recognition of varying degrees and levels of participation (Webler et al 2001;Litva et al 2002;Mustajoki et al 2004;Webler and Tuler 2006;Burkardt and Ponds 2006;Baggett et al 2008;Agger 2012). Similarly, in many instances, the use of a single participation technique inadequately involves the stakeholders.…”

“…These capabilities and resources are essential to enable participants to perform their tasks and to conduct situation assessment properly. Further, decision-makers and organisers should be willing to understand the views and circumstances of the stakeholders (Mustajoki et al 2004 Lehoux et al 2012). It is necessary that citizens' resources and capacities are appraised, and that clarity about their viewpoints and expectations of the process are achieved.…”

Abstract. Although researchers argue for the importance of involving the public in developing health policy, there has been little focus on central research questions -such as what techniques of public participation work, in what circumstances, and why. This paper presents a realist synthesis which identifies and explains the underlying mechanisms and specific contextual factors that lead to effective public participation in health policy and planning. Peer-reviewed, English language literature was searched, which resulted in 77 articles for review and synthesis. This synthesis uncovered the underlying mechanism of 'political commitment' that generates public participation effectiveness. The other three possible underlying mechanisms, namely: 'partnership synergy', 'inclusiveness' and 'deliberativeness', were found to potentially provide further explanation on public participation effectiveness for health policy and planning. The findings of this review provide evidence that can be useful to health practitioners and decision-makers to actively involve the public when drafting public health policies and programs and, more importantly, guide them in deciding which strategies to best employ for which contexts.

“…Web-HIPRE supports per se group decision making but only as a weighted sum of the individual decision makers' priorities (Mustajoki et al, 2004;Bertsch and Geldermann, 2008). As a web-based tool, group members can access it, although they may be geographically dispersed.…”

Evaluation strategies for nuclear and radiological emergency and post-accident management

et al. 2010

In nuclear and radiological emergency and post-accident management decisions on countermeasures and remediation strategies have to be made. Whereas in the early phase decisions on emergency actions must be made in a very short time, according to emergency plans and dose thresholds, in the recovery phase complexity is higher. But there is also more time for evaluating alternative countermeasures and remediation strategies with respect to several goals. In this paper evaluation strategies supporting the decision makers throughout all phases are presented. The applied decision support techniques range from graphical presentations of decision relevant information about the alternatives for action to multi-criteria decision making (MCDM) methods. In particular methods to cope with several types of uncertainties inherent in the different phases are presented. By the integration of these techniques, the decision support system RODOS is able to provide support for more conscious, transparent and coherent decision making.

“…Using the AHP model to involve stakeholders in the decision-making process of an organisation is widely treated in scientific literature. The environmental and natural resource areas provide a lot of examples: applications to prioritise stakeholders' concerns about management of environmental risks (Accorsi, Apostolakis, & Zio, 1999); to support multi-stakeholder decisions in water regulation policies (Mustajoki, Hamalainen, & Marttunen, 2003); to include stakeholders' preferences into regional forest planning (Ananda & Herath, 2003); to analyse stakeholders' opinions in fisheries (Mardle, Pascoe, & Herrero, 2004;Nielsen & Mathiesen, 2006); or to decide on land uses and farming (Ávila, 2000).…”

There is an increasing awareness among all kinds of organisations (in business, government and civil society) about the benefits of jointly working with stakeholders to satisfy both their goals and the social demands placed upon them. This is particularly the case within corporate social responsibility (CSR) frameworks. In this regard, multi-criteria tools for decision-making like the analytic hierarchy process (AHP) described in the paper can be useful for the building relationships with stakeholders. Since these tools can reveal decision-maker's preferences, the integration of opinions from various stakeholders in the decision-making process may result in better and more innovative solutions with significant shared value. This paper is based on ongoing research to assess the feasibility of an AHP-based model to support CSR decisions in large infrastructure projects carried out by Red Eléctrica de España, the sole transmission agent and operator of the Spanish electricity system.
