This study explores visualization-supported dialogues with water management and ecosystem stakeholders from four catchments in Sweden, Latvia, Germany and Poland. An interactive visualization tool was designed to present information regarding modelled effects of chosen future pathways including different measures that address ecosystem issues under present and future scenarios of land use and climate change, and estimated benefits and costs of the measures. This paper assesses if and how visualization-supported dialogues hinder or support key components of good governance of water and ecosystem management among expert stakeholders. We discuss challenges and opportunities related to the tool and dialogue design, and performance of dialogues. Results from a cross-case workshop indicate that the form and functionality of the tool contributes to participation, empowerment, accessibility and flexibility, while dialogue design is instrumental for encouraging trust and inclusion of local knowledge and competence.
本研究探讨了与来自瑞典、拉脱维亚、德国和波兰四个流域的水管理和生态系统利益相关者进行可视化支持的对话。设计了一个交互式可视化工具，用于展示有关所选未来路径的建模影响的信息，包括在当前和未来土地利用和气候变化情景下解决生态系统问题的不同措施，以及措施的估计收益和成本。本文评估了可视化支持的对话是否以及如何阻碍或支持水和生态系统管理方面专家利益相关者的良好治理的关键组成部分。我们讨论了与工具和对话设计以及对话绩效相关的挑战和机遇。来自跨案例研讨会的结果表明，工具的形式和功能有助于参与、赋权、可及性和灵活性，而对话设计则有助于鼓励信任和纳入当地知识和能力。
