Title: Stakeholder analysis methodologies resource book

Abstract

Stakeholder analysis allows analysts to identify how parties might be affected by government projects. This process involves identifying the likely impacts of a proposed action and stakeholder groups affected by that action. Additionally, the process involves assessing how these groups might be affected and suggesting measures to mitigate any adverse effects. Evidence suggests that the efficiency and effectiveness of government actions can be increased and adverse social impacts mitigated when officials understand how a proposed action might affect stakeholders. This report discusses how to conduct useful stakeholder analyses for government officials making decisions on energy-efficiency and renewable-energy technologies and their commercialization. It discusses methodological issues that may affect the validity and reliability of findings, including sampling, generalizability, validity, ``uncooperative`` stakeholder groups, using social indicators, and the effect of government regulations. The Appendix contains resource directories and a list of specialists in stakeholder analysis and involvement.

    Techniques currently being employed in the performance of environmental assessments specifically related to power plant siting are reviewed. The discussion includes potential impacts, factors influencing site selection, methodologies for siting and Federal and State legislation and regulations applying to power plant siting. An annotated bibliography is included. This is volume 3 of a 3 volume study.

    Report summarizes status of project to provide a resource for understanding risk by public living in the vicinity of hazardous and radioactive waste sites.

  • This report is a discussion of decision rules relating to the monitoring of ground water at hazardous-waste sites that are subject to regulation under the Resource Conservation and Recovery Act of 1976 (RCRA). The final rule for RCRA regulations 40CFR part 264 was published October 1, 1988 (53FR39720). Understanding the complexity of the monitoring problem and the diversity of RCRA sites, the final rule wisely allows the owner/operator to choose, conditioned on EPA approval, a site-specific 'statistical procedure.' Particular attention is paid to the possible application of industrial quality-control strategies to the ground-water monitoring problem. A decision procedure that changesmore » over time as more information about well and aquifer characteristics accumulate is proposed. This procedure involves the use of outlier tests and of Shewhart-CUSUM quality-control strategies.« less

  • The transfer of planning methodology from the research community to the practitioner very frequently takes the form of analytical and evaluative techniques and procedures. In the end, these become operational in the form of data acquisition, management and display systems, computational schemes that are codified in the form of manuals and handbooks, and computer simulation models. The complexity of the socioeconomic and physical processes that govern environmental resource and waste management have reinforced the need for computer assisted, scientifically sophisticated planning models that are fully operational, dependent on an attainable data base and accessible in terms of the resources normallymore » available to practitioners of regional resource management, waste management, and land use planning. A variety of models and procedures that attempt to meet one or more of the needs of these practitioners are discussed.« less

    The Office of Waste Management, Department of Energy (DOE) directed this study to improve understanding of the concerns of their stakeholders. The data was gathered from the open-ended comments made during the Office of Environmental Restoration and Waste Management (EM) Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) Scoping Meetings in 1990-1991. A content analysis process was applied to the comments to develop a list of issues and sub-issues the stakeholders want DOE to address. From these issues, a set of recommendations were made. This paper contributes a set of stakeholder concerns grouped according to issues for the Environmental Restoration and Waste Managementmore » Program (ERWM). These stakeholder concerns can be translated into strategic issues for EM to consider in its planning efforts. The description of major issues and sub-issues helps identify the strengths and weaknesses of EM as defined by its stakeholders. Opportunities and threats for EM can also be identified through the study of these issues. Finally, a set of recommendations for DOE from these concerns is described.« less
