Interactions among stakeholders and decision makers build awareness, trust, enhance cooperation and negotiation for best possible measures. \u003cbr\u003eThe main challenge in stakeholder participation is maintaining the participatory process. Stakeholders' spatial distribution, limitation of financial resources and diverse stakeholders' interest (even opposed) are some of the hindrances in maintaining the participatory process.\u003cbr\u003eAddressing these challenges and hindrances, this research developed and implemented three frameworks for developing \"Networked Environments for Stakeholder Participation\" (NESPs). Networked environments are web-based computer-aided or mobile environments for remote virtual interaction between participating entities such as stakeholders. NESPs are envisioned to enable stakeholder participation by providing sharing of information, planning, negotiating and decision support. NESPs were implemented in five real case studies (1) Lakes of Noord-Brabant, The Netherlands, (2) Danube river (Braila-Isaccea section), Romania, (3) Somes Mare catchment, Romania, (4) Cranbrook catchment, London and (5) Alster catchment, Hamburg, Germany.\u003cbr\u003eThe overall results of the research show that networked environments can address the challenges and hindrances in stakeholder participation and enhance participation in water resources and flood management.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Adrian Delos Santos Almoradie\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1138026379\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781138026377\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e CRC Press\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 07\/01\/2014\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 184\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.70lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.30h x 6.60w x 0.50d","brand":"Adrian Delos Santos Almoradie","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":48113260790015,"sku":"9781138026377","price":71.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_4bf8a778-b0f0-4775-910c-ad49ac956a3f.jpg?v=1769613940","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/networked-environments-for-stakeholder-participation-adrian-delos-santos-almoradie-9781138026377","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
