Abstract
This chapter is based on two separate case studies concerned with water use and water use policy. One is a study concerning public participation in the Water Framework Directive (WFD) of the European Union (EU) (Mouratiadou & Moran, 2007), and focuses on data collected in the Pinios river basin in Greece. The other is based on previously unpublished research by the authors on transboundary river issues in the Maritza river basin shared between Bulgaria, Greece and Turkey. Apart from the obvious similarities of location and their focus on water resources, the two studies are linked by some underlying factors that directly impact on our choice of fuzzy cognitive maps (FCMs) as an analytical method.
