Results from the single exercises

In the following we will present the results from the single exercises, as shown in table 1. No analysis was made on Exercise 1, an 'icebreaker' exercise for starting the workshop, and on Exercise 5/6 which aimed at making a transition between the two parts, from part one, in which only local stakeholders participated, to part two, when external stakeholders joined the group (for those study sites who decided to follow this workshop structure).
