Decision and Negotiation Support in Multi-Stakeholder Development of Lake Regulation Policy Raimo P. Hämäläinen Systems Analysis Laboratory Helsinki University of Technology http://www.hut.fi/Units/SAL/Web-Activities/ These slides are part of the tutorial: Tung X. Bui, Stony Ishikawa, Raimo P. Hämäläinen and Melvin Shakun “Environmental Negotiation with Information Technology” 32nd Annual Hawaii International Conference on System Sciences
The Framework 1. Structuring the problem 2. Identifying Pareto-optimal alternatives 3. Seeking group consensus 4. Seeking public acceptance Objective to provide support for the whole decision process
Information Technology Dynamic policy alternatives: ISMO - Interactive analysis of dynamic water regulation Strategies by Multicriteria Optimization Problem Structuring - comparison of policy alternatives: HIPRE 3+ Web-HIPRE
Pareto-optimal policies: Joint-Gains - Generating efficient alternatives (in testing with simplefied goals) Group-consensus: HIPRE Grouplink (Interval AHP model) WINPRE - Workbench for Interval Preference Programming (Interval AHP, SMART/SWING) Opinion Online - Web-based survey and voting Public - acceptance:
Development of Water Level Management Policy in Lake Päijänne Annual regulation policy defined by 5-6 water level goals Stakeholders with conflicting objectives Power producers, fishermen, farmers, regreational users First phase of true testing Role playing experiments
LAKE PÄIJÄNNE RIVER KYMIJOKI LAKES RUOTSALAINEN AND KONNIVESI LAKE PYHÄJÄRVI RIVER KYMIJOKI 10 20 30 40 50 km
Need for Modeling and Decision Support Dynamic system No intuitive solutions - impacts are functions of decision variables Interactive analysis of impacts Multiple criteria Many stakeholder groups
Dynamic Regulation Policies
Utopia solution Realistic solution Water level Water level Outflow
Web-HIPRE Values related to the regulation policy Decision analysis interviews of stakeholders Open public prioritizations
Structuring the Problem Iterative value tree analysis Hierarchical structuring and prioritization Decision criteria Learning the ranges by initial prioritizations with temporary alternatives Stakeholder grouping
Web-HIPRE - Java-Applet for Value Tree and AHP Analysis Starting Window
The First Interactive MCDA Software in the Internet Web-HIPRE = HIerarchical PREference analysis in the World Wide Web Successor of the the decision support software HIPRE 3+ Unlimited global access Opens up a new dimension in decision support
Global Platform for Individual and Group Decision Support Computer Supported Collaborative Decision Making - Physical distance is no longer a barrier Individual models can be processed at the same or at different times Group results easy to collect Model links can contain additional WWW-links, graphics, sound or video This can increase the quality of decision support dramatically
Web-HIPRE as a Java-applet Platform independent - works in different computer environments No installations on local machines - just a Java-enabled browser needed (e.g. Netscape 3.01, Internet Explorer 3.0 or newer) Updated version always available On-line help also implemented by WWW-links
Value Tree Analysis by Web-HIPRE
Web-HIPRE Weights Environmentalist
Weighting Methods Spported by Web-HIPRE Direct weighting, SMART, SWING SMARTER - rank based Pairwise Comparisons (AHP) Value Functions Any combinations of these
Method of Improving Directions Joint Gains software Interactive method for the identification of efficient alternatives (Ehtamo, Kettunen and Hämäläinen (1998)) Decision makers reply to simple questions: “Which one of these alternatives do you prefer most?” or “Which one of these two alternatives do you prefer, A or B?”
Negotiation Support System Joint Gains - Negotiation Support System Joint Gains DM interface Subject 5: “power company” Joint Gains Mediator Joint Gains DM interface Subject 4: “farmer” Local area network questions replies Joint Gains DM interface Joint Gains DM interface Joint Gains DM interface Subject 1: “environmentalist” Subject 3: “fisherman” Subject 2: “summer resident”
Mediation Processes for 2 and 3 DM Groups initial and intermediate points stopping point Roles: Fisherman & Farmer Farmer, Power company & Summer resident Summer resident & Environmentalist
Seeking Group Consensus Select and evaluate a representative set of efficient alternatives by interval value tree analysis Objective to reach consensus Tool for consensus seeking HIPRE 3+ Group Link WINPRE - Workbench for Interactive Preference Programming
HIPRE Group Link Individual AHP prioritizations (HIPRE) Combination of prioritizations (Group Link) Interval preference model (WINPRE) View from interval preference model for three DMs: Recreation Landscape DM1 DM2 DM3 Landscape Biodiversity DM2 DM3 DM1 DM2 DM1 DM3
WINPRE - Workbench for Interactive Preference Programming (AHP mode) Group priorities embedded in the interval statements
Dominance and Value Intervals The combined interval preferences models
Stakeholder Participation and Public Acceptance http://www. hut Project home pages Web-HIPRE Representatives’ prioritizations available for public in the web interactively OPINION Online - Open web-based voting and survey generator - Voting for alternatives: best and/or acceptable - On-line analysis of results
