Link with WP8 Sample Clauses

Link with WP8. From the project inception, a criticality has been identified in the process of establishing a workable typology of Nature-Based Solutions across different dimensions. This criticality is due to the involvement of different stakeholders, at different stages of NBS identification, discussion and selection process, with each user/stakeholder category having diverse aspirations and interests on the outcome. Work Package 8 has the purpose to capture and document user requirements from all involved stakeholders, such as ordinary citizens, planning professionals, civil servants involved in municipalities’ urban planning, and policymakers. 1) has been delivered early in the project (Month 8 of 48) to help steer and confirm the creation of the NBS taxonomy. The User Requirements document also contains extensive descriptions of real-life enablers and barriers collected during field work and user interviews at several demo sites, whereby success stories and users’ concerns are analysed in order to abstract workable categories. Furthermore, the User Requirements document lays the foundation for the development of Use Cases i.e. high-level descriptions of how the NBS platform software should perform, what capabilities are expected to accomplish certain tasks, goals, outcomes etc. 2) has been released in advance of this typology (M12) so that positive confirmation can be assessed between the NBS taxonomy and its real-world usage through the Nature4CitiesNBS platform.
