Dr. Maria Reyes, with the collaboration of MSc. student Alejandro Basa, Dr. Matthew Hare (James Hutton Institute), Dr. Antonio Rico (University of Alicante) and Dr. Rubén Villar (University of Alicante), carried out the first workshop in the case study of Benidorm. Ten of the eleven-selected stakeholders attended the workshop on Tuesday 24th of November 2020. The workshop lasted three hours, and was a good opportunity for all stakeholders to meet. During this meeting, all stakeholders had the opportunity to present their own conceptual maps, which were developed on the the interviews of the first fieldwork, and polished afterwards with the feedback of each stakeholder. Also, Dr. Maria Reyes presented all the work done behind the maps, and the main interest topics that were identified in common for all stakeholders. Each stakeholder chose the most important interest topic and defended it. Afterwards, a votation took place to rank these interest topics, and finally, based on this ranking, each stakeholder could express their satisfaction towards this ranking. Fortunately 7 of the 10 participants felt comfortable with this prioritization, which allow us to focus on certain topics at the moment of developing the Agent -Based Model (ABM).
