Another strength of the SIA process was that it capitalised on local
knowledge and helped to facilitate the participation of a wide range
of key stakeholders. The transect walk and informal stakeholder interviews
were easy to do and involved a good range of stakeholders
and raised issues that may not have been covered in a more formal
workshop. However, we acknowledge that the rapid and pragmatic
(‘just enough’) approach to data collection adopted for this pilot
SIA could be criticised for not adequately capturing all the different
perspectives that might exist in a destination or on a topic. One concern
is that participation in the SIA process may have increased the
expectations communities have about Odysseia-In. This potentially
poses a risk to Odysseia-In if they do not manage these expectations,
or if they fail to deliver on actions they committed to do during the
process.
