Issue Mapping And Interventions Chris Rose

Issue mapping Shares thinking Gets ideas onto paper Quick and dirty connections flows power problems and solutions

Origins – Hans Rittel Questions Ideas Arguments (pros and cons) Ideas respond to questions, offering possible solutions to the question. The arguments argue for and against the various ideas. Questions can then be expanded on or challenge other questions, ideas, or arguments

Land Use Campaign History Chris Rose and Tim De-Keyzer

? Campaign Design Task From something not understood To somewhere not understood While ‘championing’ ‘good’ ‘farming’

? Fundamentals For Design Who cares ? Find a or create constituency Who or what will add impact ? While being visible - profile’

Making visible – an intervention Benefits – a NE starting point Constituencies Scandal - interest NE initiatives Feasibility and evidence - successes

Actors, land mngrs Policy drivers CAP processes End objective P1>2 Possible intervention – manifest public understanding of benefits

Engagement – who is engaged and could be and how ? Perception – of good/bad Education/schools Access users research Possible intervention – id benefits locally Policy metrics of public interest

Food users & certification – possible intervention Woodlands & certification Benefits and practices Floods/water Obstacles Piggy back to climate change Show costs/ benefits ?

Awareness Generating Actions Brainstorm – NE Marine Campaign Chris Rose

Post-issue mapping Issue mapping identified two points of intervention (A) with fishing industry to build a robust alliance/voice of progressive minded (B) with the public to create a constituency for undersea conservation

Current situation: polarised debate VS European Commission Conservationists Scientists Fishers

Good Fishers versus Bad Fishers Replace with LUNDY: Shaun Davison, a lobster and crab fisherman from Ilfracombe, said he welcomed the initial results of the scheme. VS

What place ? Protect what ?

First create a sense of place – “there is an undersea landscape” … “our region has one”

Then later we can show threats: problems and solutions (not now)

Where we are at AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction here

Communications objective AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction “We have regional undersea landscapes”

Communications objective AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction We have regional undersea landscapes About 99% can’t name any real specific feature

What will follow AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction We have regional undersea landscapes Our regional undersea landscapes are under threat & the solution is … Now is the time (because) and here’s the way … The way is happening Show problems and solutions Provide mechanisms Implement

But not yet AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction We have regional undersea landscapes Our regional undersea landscapes are under threat & the solution is … Now is the time (because) and here’s the way … The way is happening Show problems and solutions Provide mechanisms Implement

What works for all Maslow Groups AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction We have regional undersea landscapes Dramatic topography Living communities Kids enjoy it People recognize/ celebrate it

Avoiding AwarenessAlignment EngagementAction We have regional undersea landscapes Dramatic topography Living communities Kids enjoy it People recognize/ celebrate it Problems (eg over fishing) Solutions (eg MPAs) Policies Politics Issues “Environmental” Complexity Science

So what we need are Awareness We have regional undersea landscapes Dramatic topography Living communities Kids enjoy it People recognize/ celebrate it Communications eg Activities Events Which lead people to conclude this Show don’t tell

We’ve started with Awareness We have regional undersea landscapes Dramatic topography Living communities Kids enjoy it People recognize/ celebrate it Landscapes in a box Sea creature makes (location-related) + Landscape panoramas Undersea landscape maps (regional and national)
