Abstract A transition towards a sustainable energy system is a challenging process that involves multiple stakeholders with differing viewpoints. Several transition pathways are possible, but the decision regarding which pathway to follow should be based on a justifiable and transparent framework that accounts for the concerns of all relevant stakeholder groups. This study proposes a participatory stakeholder analysis process that includes a two-dimensional power-interest matrix and fuzzy logic to define and classify relevant stakeholder groups. The proposed framework was implemented to recognize the relevant stakeholder groups of the Icelandic energy system and assess their salience. The defined stakeholder groups were then evaluated based on two attributes—power and interest—using data collected from a web-based questionnaire. Considering the wide range of the attributes' values for the many stakeholder groups, fuzzy logic was applied to plot a 3D decision surface, which provided a more accurate assessment of stakeholders' salience. The generated power-interest map visualizes the dynamic influential level of stakeholder groups when it comes to decision-making concerning sustainable energy development. The fuzzy decision surface shows a more accurate image of the difference in the degree of power and interest and saliences of the stakeholder group. Results reveal that Decision-makers, Industrial Users, Professional Interest groups, and Energy Producers have the highest salience and are the most influential stakeholder groups concerning decision-making. Less influential stakeholder group such as Landowners exhibit a high degree of variation in influential level across the sustainable energy themes. The findings suggest that Icelandic decision-makers responsible for energy development face a complex challenge when it comes to designing and implementing a policy that is approved across all stakeholder groups. This study offers new insights to policymakers on the most influential stakeholder groups and the variation of influential level across stakeholders groups in the Icelandic energy system. Understanding the power and interest of different stakeholders can improve the decision- and policy-making process and promote a successful transition to a sustainable energy system.

冰岛可持续能源发展的利益相关者分类：利用权力利益矩阵和模糊逻辑理论

摘要 向可持续能源系统过渡是一个具有挑战性的过程，涉及多个持不同观点的利益相关者。有几种过渡途径是可能的，但关于遵循哪种途径的决定应基于一个合理且透明的框架，该框架考虑到所有相关利益相关者群体的关切。本研究提出了一个参与式利益相关者分析过程，包括一个二维的权力利益矩阵和模糊逻辑来定义和分类相关的利益相关者群体。实施拟议的框架是为了承认冰岛能源系统的相关利益相关者群体并评估他们的显着性。然后使用从基于网络的调查问卷收集的数据，根据两个属性（权力和兴趣）对定义的利益相关者群体进行评估。考虑到许多利益相关者群体的属性值范围很广，应用模糊逻辑来绘制 3D 决策面，从而更准确地评估利益相关者的显着性。生成的权力利益图将利益相关者群体在可持续能源发展决策方面的动态影响水平可视化。模糊决策面更准确地反映了利益相关者群体的权力、利益和显着性程度的差异。结果表明，决策者、工业用户、专业利益集团和能源生产者的显着性最高，是决策中最具影响力的利益相关者群体。土地所有者等影响力较小的利益相关者群体在可持续能源主题的影响力水平上表现出高度差异。调查结果表明，负责能源开发的冰岛决策者在设计和实施一项在所有利益相关者群体中获得批准的政策时面临着复杂的挑战。这项研究为政策制定者提供了有关冰岛能源系统中最具影响力的利益相关者群体以及各利益相关者群体影响力水平变化的新见解。了解不同利益相关者的权力和利益可以改进决策和政策制定过程，并促进向可持续能源系统的成功过渡。调查结果表明，负责能源开发的冰岛决策者在设计和实施一项在所有利益相关者群体中获得批准的政策时面临着复杂的挑战。这项研究为政策制定者提供了有关冰岛能源系统中最具影响力的利益相关者群体以及各利益相关者群体影响力水平变化的新见解。了解不同利益相关者的权力和利益可以改进决策和政策制定过程，并促进向可持续能源系统的成功过渡。调查结果表明，负责能源开发的冰岛决策者在设计和实施一项在所有利益相关者群体中获得批准的政策时面临着复杂的挑战。这项研究为政策制定者提供了有关冰岛能源系统中最具影响力的利益相关者群体以及各利益相关者群体影响力水平变化的新见解。了解不同利益相关者的权力和利益可以改进决策和政策制定过程，并促进向可持续能源系统的成功过渡。这项研究为政策制定者提供了有关冰岛能源系统中最具影响力的利益相关者群体以及各利益相关者群体影响力水平变化的新见解。了解不同利益相关者的权力和利益可以改进决策和政策制定过程，并促进向可持续能源系统的成功过渡。这项研究为政策制定者提供了关于冰岛能源系统中最具影响力的利益相关者群体以及不同利益相关者群体影响力水平变化的新见解。了解不同利益相关者的权力和利益可以改进决策和政策制定过程，并促进向可持续能源系统的成功过渡。
