The role of stakeholder fragmentation in post-disaster resilience projects. A comparative study of Roombeek and Hoboken.

This study explores the effect of stakeholder fragmentation on the adequacy of interactive decision-making in post-disaster resilience projects. It investigates on whether or not the level of stakeholder fragmentation affects the influence of stakeholder involvement on the adequacy of interactive decision-making. Comparing two post-disaster resilience projects in the Netherlands and the USA, this study draws conclusions about general and context-related mechanisms in terms of stakeholder involvement and fragmentation, which lead to a higher adequacy of interactive decision-making. The results can be used in for further research as well as in future post-disaster resilience projects.
