BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Stakeholder-based Impact Scoring (SIS) is a participatory assessment method aimed at predicting the impact of a policy or project prior to its implementation by quantifying and visualising the negative and positive impacts on stakeholders. It leads to ‘impact scores’ based on objective assessments of effects from data or expert views, and the subjective weighting of these effects by the affected stakeholders. SIS is especially helpful when a decision is not about choosing the ‘best’ option, but about modifying and mitigating a project throughout the course of its implementation.
EXAMPLE:
MOBRU: An elevated motorway in Brussels is heavily used by commuters, but needs costly renovation. It also generates lots of nuisance for neighbouring residents. Would it be wise to tear it down? How would residents, commuters and transport operators be affected? The MOBRU project explored this problem.
