What are the stakeholder perceptions?An application of Q method (> 200 interviews with diverse stakeholders)• Benefits, burdens of fire: 31 statements on a scale of importance • Solutions to fire: 40 statements on a scale of effectiveness

How is this helpful?
This new information can:• Clarify debates / positions / coalitions• Provide boundary object for
negotiations• Identify contentious issues• Identify agreement areas
• Debunk “myths”• Compliment remote sensing spatial
analysis

Initial analysis (iii): seeking agreement in solutions
- The most effective solutions are the most contentious and include: revoking rogue company licenses, increased use of canals
- Canal use is the solution option generating most disagreement
- Measures need to be actor specific: whilst all actors are to blame (companies, investors, smallholders etc) enforcement against smallholders and laborers is deemed ineffective, while against companies considered highly effective
- There is no strong solution (ve+ or ve-) agreed by all, rather agreement is with solutions ranking 0 (e.g. RSPO sanctions and raising environmental standards)
