WP6 of NBS4AQUAMISSION project: Assessing stakeholders' profiles, attitudes and/or conflicts around NBS at the science-policy interface (D.6.1. Stakeholder Mapping, Survey Development and Citizens' Sensory Perception of Polluted Sites)

This deliverable presents the findings of Task 6.1 within WP6 of NBS4AQUAMISSION project. It presents stakeholder mapping, a literature review informing survey design, the development of cross-site survey instruments, and preliminary analysis of the available survey responses concerning citizens, linked to the Spanish demonstration site.

The evidence base includes 82 publications reviewed to establish the conceptual and methodological basis for the survey design, 5 questionnaire instruments developed for the Spanish and Danish demonstration sites, stakeholder mapping materials, 25 Spanish visitor questionnaires (including 150 visitor perceptual mapping points), and 17 Spanish local resident questionnaires. In the Danish demo-site, 3 resident questionnaires and 2 professional stakeholder surveys have been collected so far. Given the very limited number of citizen responses from Denmark, the survey results presented in this deliverable focus primarily on the Spanish visitor and local resident data. Professional stakeholder survey results are not analysed in D6.1 and will be addressed in the subsequent D6.2 deliverable.

The findings provide an initial understanding of public awareness, visitor learning, sensory experience, local resident perceptions, and perceived values and concerns associated with constructed wetlands and nature-based solutions. The results suggest that the Spanish demo-site (CENTA) has potential as a public-facing learning and engagement site, while also highlighting the need for clearer interpretation materials, accessible communication with residents, and locally relevant engagement formats. All findings are reported descriptively and should be interpreted as preliminary baseline evidence to support subsequent WP6 co-design and evaluation activities.
