Abstract

This dataset was developed only for the Tunisia case study and presents the data from different Stakeholder consultation activities and the derived results of a participatory Multicriteria Mapping (MCM), a special type of the more general Multicriteria Analysis (MCA) that provides a systematic, transparent approach that increases objectivity and can generate reproducible results. The main objective of the MCM is to contrast the opinions of different stakeholders regarding the various solutions identified in the agro-economic model (see datasets of deliverable D5.2, http://doi.org/10.6092/unibo/amsacta/6482) developed in MADFORWATER project in relation to the adoption of Wastewater Treatment Technologies (WWTT) and water management instruments. These options include technological, as well as socioeconomic issues such as new irrigation technologies to increase efficiency in treated wastewater use, improvement of water management, economic incentives and increasing awareness and education. To evaluate the various options a series of criteria have been defined grouped in economic, social, environmental, policy and technological issues. The MCM was supported by multiple-stakeholder engagement actions consisting in successive fieldwork missions and by multiple interviews to selected stakeholders that represent the key interest groups in the area of study. This part of the analysis is used to evaluate potential barriers and opportunities to the adoption of Integrated Water & Land Management Strategies (IWLMS), such as social acceptance, technical requirements, economic constraints and availability of sufficient knowledge and information. It is aimed to identify potential policy measures for facilitating the implementation and social acceptance of the proposed IWLMS, with particular emphasis on the associated economic instruments. Therefore, the dataset collects information from other tasks and datasets of the project and it also includes generated information concerning stakeholder and expert views, the development of a MCM used to analyze the potential adoption of integrated strategies for using new sources of water and the associated obstacles for their implementation.
