The main focus of current water resources planning is to promote good water resource conditions through the implementation of innovative water policies. To achieve this goal, it is necessary to characterize and assess the status of water resources, monitor the implementation of planned actions, disseminate information and support the decision-making process. Indicators are often regarded as appropriate tools for supporting these tasks, although their use in this context is not imperative. The present study intends to explore the stakeholder perspective on the role of indicators in the water resources planning and management processes and their strategic environmental assessment process using a Portuguese case study. To achieve this objective, semi-structured interviews with the various stakeholder groups involved were conducted. The treatment of the obtained data using content analysis shows that the interviewees consider indicators to be an essential tool for supporting water resources planning. Some participants express concerns and suggest changes to the selection models and to the communication and decision-support capacity of the sets of indicators used. All stakeholders in the process consider that improvements to the indicators to be used in future processes are possible. In light of the results, it can be concluded that there is a long way to go for indicators to be used to promote better communication with stakeholders and to support decision-making processes; simultaneously, they can form the basis for the review and development of the subsequent cycle of the planning process.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.1142\/s1464333219500017","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2019,2,28]],"date-time":"2019-02-28T08:04:12Z","timestamp":1551341052000},"page":"1950001","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":4,"title":["Stakeholders Perspectives on the Use of Indicators in Water Resources Planning and Related Strategic Environmental Assessment"],"prefix":"10.1142","volume":"21","author":[{"given":"Rosa","family":"Santos Coelho","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Escola Superior Agr\u00e1ria de Santar\u00e9m, Instituto Polit\u00e9cnico de Santar\u00e9m, Portugal"},{"name":"Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research, Department of Environmental, Sciences and Engineering, School of Sciences and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Pedro S.","family":"Coelho","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Marine and Environmental Sciences Centre, Department of Environmental Sciences and Engineering, School of Sciences and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Paula","family":"Antunes","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research, Department of Environmental, Sciences and Engineering, School of Sciences and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Tom\u00e1s B.","family":"Ramos","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Center for Environmental and Sustainability Research, Department of Environmental, Sciences and Engineering, School of Sciences and Technology, NOVA University Lisbon, Portugal"}]}],"member":"219","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2019,4,26]]},"reference":[{"key":"S1464333219500017BIB001","unstructured":"Adams, J, H Khan, R Reaside and D White [2007] Research Methods for Graduate Business and Social Science Students, 1st edn., p. 269.
