Preparation of scenarios Function on workshop: Illustrate potential - PowerPoint PPT Presentation

Preparation of scenarios Function on workshop:  Illustrate potential consequences and conflicts – different possible futures  Frame and stimulate debate among participant  Only a starting point for the participant, who are going to develop their own visions for the future  Represent different priorities and sets of value  Must be plausible The Danish Board of Technology

Preparation of scenarios How and how many?  3 or 4 is ideal. Less offers too little variety. More causes confusion  Journalistic products with scientific filter: Journalist is hired to do the writing. Experts give input and control the plausibility and balance  Based on research in local community  2-3 pages each – given to participants before the workshop The Danish Board of Technology

4 scenarios from Næstved  Technical solutions and physical consequences  Group work: Identify possible consequences for various interest groups in the area The Danish Board of Technology

Looking 100 years ahead Scenario 1. “Do nothing scenario” – No action taken  Loss of natural wetlands  Loss of holiday cottages and other properties  Loss of farmland  Loss of tourist centre on Enø Island  Beach erosion The Danish Board of Technology

Looking 100 years ahead Scenario 2. “Holiday cottage scenario” – Protection with dikes of Enø Island  Beach and properties secured  Dike building is costly (Who should pay?)  View of the ocean blocked for low-lying holiday cottages The Danish Board of Technology

Looking 100 years ahead Scenario 3. “Nature preservation scenario” – Turning the area into a National Park  Letting wetlands move inland at the cost of farm land  Letting the ocean flood the currently drained and cultivated bog “Nylandsmosen”  Beach erosion  Loss of holiday cottages and other properties  Loss of tourist centre on Enø Island The Danish Board of Technology

Looking 100 years ahead Scenario 4. “Grand dike scenario” – Protecting the inlet “Karrebæk Fjord” with a dike and a sluice to regulate the water level:  Protection of farm land  Protection of holiday cottages and other properties  Protection of tourist centre on Enø Island  Loss of natural wetlands The Danish Board of Technology

Group work  How are the technical solutions presented in  the different scenarios going to affect the various stakeholders present at the workshop?  What kind of conflicts could this result in? One scenario for each group  Presentations from each group  The Danish Board of Technology

Some of the stakeholders  Local and regional politicians  Technicians  Farmers  House owners ’ associations  Summer cottage owners  Nature conservancy associations  Tourist and Business associations  Hunters, fishermen, bird watchers and more The Danish Board of Technology
