TL;DR: The present work describes a methodology to enhance the Nature Based Solutions implementation by facilitating the generation, acquisition and diffusion of different stakeholders' risk perceptions through the combination of Problem Structuring Methods for the elicitation of stakeholders'risk perceptions through individual Fuzzy Cognitive Maps, and Ambiguity Analysis for the investigation of differences in risk perceptions and problem framing.

TL;DR: An innovative methodology using a quasi-dynamic Fuzzy Cognitive Map approach based on multiple-time-steps was developed in order to assess NBS effectiveness, and to detect and analyze trade-offs among stakeholders due to differences in co-benefits perception.

TL;DR: The activities described in the present paper aim at developing a participatory System Dynamic Model capable to quantitatively assess the effectiveness of NBS to deal with flood risks, while producing a multiplicity of co-benefits.

TL;DR: An alternative perspective on the problem is developed, using a System Dynamics Model (SDM), exploring how different actions can influence the decision-making processes of various stakeholders involved in the IS, highlighting its criticalities.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors explore the operational role of design theory in the policy making process for the generation of policy alternatives, highlighting the value of early stakeholders' engagement and problem understanding.
