欧盟水框架指令要求利益攸关方和公众的参与，并考虑到水服务的全部成本回收，以加强水资源管理的可持续性。该指令没有规定公众参与在实践中应如何运作，成员国似乎正在采取不同的参与做法。本研究探讨了公众参与的背景下，在希腊的皮尼奥斯河流域，一个试点地区的WFD实施的问题。该研究使用模糊认知图，这是一种与利益相关者的感知相关的定性建模形式。模糊认知绘图已被用于了解利益攸关方和公众对水资源现状和压力的看法，以及在水资源管理中应用经济原则的可接受性。基于这些看法，不同的水资源管理政策选项进行了模拟，以探讨其对水资源和该地区的经济的潜在影响。这项研究概述了公众和利益相关者的看法，对水服务的全部成本回收的应用，并提供了一个角度来看，模糊认知映射在参与性河流流域管理的潜在贡献。(c)2007 Elsevier B.V.保留所有权利。
The EU Water Framework Directive requires the involvement and participation of stakeholders and the public, and considers full cost recovery for water services for enhancing the sustainability of water resource management. The Directive is non prescriptive as to how public participation should be operationalised in practice, and Member States appear to be adopting different participatory practices. This study explores the issue of public participation in the context of the Pinios River Basin in Greece, a pilot area for the WFD implementation. The study uses Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping, a form of qualitative modeling linked to stakeholders' perceptions. Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping has been used to elicit stakeholder and public perceptions on the current state and pressures on water resources and the acceptability of applying economic principles in water resource management. Based on these perceptions, different water management policy options have been simulated in order to explore their potential effects on the water resources and the economy of the area. The study outlines public and stakeholder perceptions on the application of full cost recovery for water services and offers a perspective on the potential contribution of Fuzzy Cognitive Mapping in participatory river basin management.
