Since 2001 the Departmemt of Environment, Regions and Transportation of the Ifo Institute has been participating in the interdisciplinary project GLOWA-Danube (http://www.glowa-danube.de). Within this project a simulation-based tool called DANUBIA has been designed that helps the user to explore scenarios of the Danube water household and to support the user in the choice of options for sustainable water management. The GLOWA Stakeholder project intends to design the development and use of DANUBIA in the discourse with stakeholders yet to be identified. Through the participation of stakeholders there will be a decisive contribution for the validation of the decision model as well as for its actual use. Furthermore the usability of DANUBIA by non-experts will be supported by the stakeholder project. For this purpose an adaptive user surface will be created. This will not only allow an interactive and individual use of DANUBIA, but will also ensure transparency of the results.
A systematically structured procedure for stakeholder participation will be developed and carried out. Moreover, there will be a continuous evaluation of the procedure in order to improve the results. Results and experiences will be made available to the public in a suitable form.
