aggregated paired comparisons for each of the indicators and the associated priority
weights were considered (Figure 4). Residents considered pollution to have a much higher
ranking than any other stakeholder group. However, this is closely followed by increasing
community benefits and community involvement, which explains the high ranking overall
of the social category and shows the community’s interest in getting something out of the
EIMR (Table 2).
Managers clearly rank “increasing management efficiency” with the highest priority.
This should be expected because they are responsible for the overall performance of the
MPA(Figure4). Furthermore, theprioritythat managers assignedtoincreasingmanagement
efficiency was significantly higher than the priority given to it by the other stakeholder
groups (ANOVA, F-value = 4.030, p-value = .006). This was followed by “increasing
