What is Perception of Stakeholders?

The perception of stakeholders refers to the attitudes, beliefs, values, and needs that
differenindividuals or groups have regarding a particular issue or project. In the context of
urban green spaces, stakeholders might include residents, community groups, local
businesses,government officials, and environmental organizations, among others. [1]

Why is it so important?
Stakeholder perspective is critical because it can affect how successfully urban green
space planning, management, and conservation initiatives are carried out. Understanding
different stakeholders' perceptions of green spaces is essential for making informed
decisions because different stakeholders may have different values, goals, and demands in
this area. For instance, if decision-makers and planners give preference to the
requirements of one stakeholder group over another, they run the danger of alienating or
disenfranchising other groups, which may result in conflict or opposition to projects for
green space. On the other hand, policymakers and planners may create more thorough and
successful policies for managing urban green space that are more likely to be accepted and
supported by the community by interacting with a diverse variety of stakeholders and
taking their perspectives into account.[2]
Moreover, Understanding stakeholder perspectives can also be used to spot potential
obstacles or difficulties for efforts including green space, as well as chances for
cooperation and partnership. Policymakers and planners may create more inclusive and
participatory ways to managing urban green spaces that are more likely to be effective and
sustainable in the long run by interacting with stakeholders and taking into consideration
their perspectives.
