Stakeholders Analysis

Stakeholders

Identifying and understanding the stakeholders involved in a project is crucial for gaining a comprehensive understanding of the area and clarifying the roles and responsibilities of each stakeholder. To achieve this, we have divided the stakeholders into four groups: public stakeholders, governmental stakeholders, local people, and private stakeholders. We have focused on stakeholders within Nyhavna, but also other stakeholders that are close to the site or are responsible for the site. (Fig. 14)

The public stakeholders consist of public agencies and institutions. These agencies, such as transportation and environmental protection departments, hospitals, and heritage places play a role in ensuring the adoption of regulations and providing necessary permits. Also, they focus on conservation and community development that bring valuable expertise and resources, while at the same time can contribute through research and knowledge sharing.

Governmental stakeholders include local government officials, regional institutes, and national government agencies. They can be helpful in terms of the provision of budgets, preparedness plans and prevention strategies. And fragmentation of all the organization and stakeholders.

Local people, including residents and community members like the users of the area in various ways, are crucial stakeholders who have valuable knowledge and experience about the area. Their engagement ensures that the project aligns with the needs and interests of the local community, and it allows for a more inclusive and democratic decision-making process. Also helps in the lowest level of hazards and fatalities during floods.

Private stakeholders refer to the individuals, businesses, and organizations existing in the area. This could include private companies operating in the area, local businesses, and landowners. Understanding their perspectives, concerns, and potential economic opportunities is essential for building partnerships and addressing their interests and consequently ending up with a better relationship with them and having their support and engagement in the flood situation.

In this part we also specifically mentioned potential responsibilities of the different stakeholders during the flood.

Power-Interest Matrix

The Power-Interest Matrix is a tool used in stakeholder analysis to understand the level of power and interest of each stakeholder involved in the area. (Fig. 16) It helps to categorize stakeholders based on their potential influence and importance, enabling them to prioritize their engagement and communication strategies.

In our case the governmental stakeholders like the National government , NVE and regional municipalities, and the municipality of Trondheim have the most influence and power for planning and preparing for the potential crisis in the future.

Also the high level of interest of the governmental and public organizations is noticeable. The high interest of these stakeholders would help with the sustainable implementation, additionally increasing the expectation for the full support and perfect performance of them.

Stakeholders Relationship

Figuring out the relationships among stakeholders could bring a very clear insight into the planning for the future. Also it could be very crucial since the relation among various stakeholders can directly affect the success and sustainability of this project. (Fig. 15)

Strong relationships among stakeholders would result in strong collaboration and cooperation for the crisis and critical situations.

In this part we specified the direct and indirect connection and relationships among the stakeholders. As it can be seen the main governmental organizations like national government and regional governmental organizations have the major effect.
