Important announcement

Dear visitor,

Please note that this OpenCourseWare platform will be replaced at the end of 2026 by a new platform (under the same url ocw.tudelft.nl).

Courses and their contents that are currently available the platform will partly be migrated. URL’s for this content will change and content might be unavailable for some time. In addition, some courses will not be available anymore.

If you are linking to specific courses on this platform (for instance for your students), please take timely measures to avoid problems with access. Possible actions are:

  • Download the materials to your local platform (laptop, server)
  • For educators only (including TU Delft lecturers): Contact us at ocw@tudelft.nl and inform us what course you are using in what context (institute, program, period of use, number of students). We will research (in collaboration with the authors of the course) and decide if we will migrate the course, and if yes, can supply you with a new url.

Thank you.

Actor analysis – part 2

Course subject(s) Module 8. Bonus module: Problem demarcation and actor analysis (skills)

Actor analysis – Part 2

An actor analysis covers six steps:

  1. Formulation of a problem as a point of departure.
  2. Inventory of the actors involved.
  3. Exhibiting the formal chart: the formal tasks, authorities, and relations of actors and the current legislation.
  4. Determining the interests, objectives and problem perceptions of actors.
  5. Mapping out the interdependencies between actors by making inventories of resources and the subjective involvement of actors with the problem.
  6. Determining the consequences of these findings with regard to the problem formulation.

We already covered the first three steps.  We will now continue with  step 4, 5 and 6 (for each step we have a separate web lecture).

Dive even deeper? This is very nice article.
