Analysis with indicators

This mobilisation of indicatorsallows identification of specific information about stakeholder’s values and the supposed justification of their choice in this non-participative exercise. Of all 46 indicators proposed, 43 were selected in the deliberation. Some of them were used more than others, which allows us to discover common ground within stakeholder interests, and to finally discover the indicators that best represent the performance issues for stakeholders.

The following analysis is about the recognition of possible values, characteristics or qualities representative for each performance issue, according to the identification of indicators.

Indicators are classified according to the number of utilisations, the average weight and the global impact they have among the other indicators on the same performance issue.

Indicators having the highest global impact in each performance issue are:

• Health of the environment

Forest lands and biodiversity safeguarding are the main concern in this performance issue, principally related to living (food, work, home, etc.) and emotional (landscape, people’s history, etc.) needs for local people, and the forest ecosystems significance to the global population. Watercourses quality is also an indispensible factor for local people's lives.

• Indigenous people’s living conditions and life improvement

Access to safe drinking water is the primary performance issue. Household income could have a major role representing indigenous people’s living conditions and life improvement, finding distinctions and meanings for the poorest indigenous household incomes. Next important character of living conditions is people’s health, and finally population growth related to local people sustainability.

• Plans for renewable energy

Results show that education on renewable energies has a primarily importance. This could be related to the interest of local people in the acquisition of sustainable practices for self-sufficiency. Local energy provision from renewable sources also has a high interest, maybe more for the national population than for locals. Equally, inversion for renewable energy has a not negligible importance, as well as the energy demand locally, because some groups of inhabitants (like isolated indigenous people) might not have needs of energy. Considerably less important than the other indicators is the national provision of renewable energy. This is related to the magnitude of its implementation.

• Preservation of traditional relationships between people and nature

Land use is a main concern on this performance issue. As well, attention is given to isolated indigenous people and the autochthones practices maintenance. Wood consumption shows less utilisation but a big importance may be related to forest sustainability. Finally, autochthon local people's knowledge and practices are recognised one more time with less but not negligible impact on this performance issue.

• People participation and social cohesion

This issue expresses first interest in participation, principally related to indigenous people's involvement in local concerns. Naturally, social conflicts are the main preoccupations, probably based on o damages to population relationships. Mechanisms and facilities for participation are important as well. Indigenous people and outsiders relationships show little impact, maybe related to the preference of some groups of indigenous people to the isolation.

• Natural resources administration and economics

A notable emphasis is manifested to local people’s living conditions, economically (employment) and related to the demand for improvement in local services (infrastructure, health, education, etc.). Next is the respect for nature and indigenous people’s right’s according to already established regulations, and accuracy in legal process. Finally, having a lesser impact on this issue are the local revenues related to local investment.
