Valuing the role of key stakeholders in modelling forest cooperative game: a case study of Iranian forests
Author
Abstract
The aim of this study was to investigate the issues of forest stakeholders with regard to their role in forest management. For this aim, the theory of calculating Shapley value was used for modelling a cooperative game for participatory management in Iranian forests. Four scenarios were used to examine different perspectives, including the perspectives of the academic, research, and management departments as well as the average results of the three mentioned scenarios. For these scenarios, Shapley value relations and calculations were used in game theory. The results showed among the stakeholder values, the local community had the highest normalized Shapley value with a value of 0.41. Then forest management stakeholder with a value of 0.37 has the second priority. Finally, the research and education section has the last priority with a value of 0.22. Accordingly, the main column of creating participatory management is the participation of local communities in forest management plans. The role of local communities in forest management is more prominent than other main stakeholders. These Shapley values can be a good guide for budget distribution in forest management based on the role of players.
