Abstract

AbstractThe discussion concerning petroleum activity in the marine areas of Lofoten, Vesterålen and Senja (LoVeSe) has characterized the Norwegian oil debate for many years. On one side you have the ones supporting Environmental Impact Assesment (EIA) (an assessment which by law has to be conducted prior to opening an area for petroleum activities) and subsequent opening for petroleum activity in the area. On the other hand, you have the ones supporting the current state in LoVeSe – to keep the untouched, spectacular nature closed for petroleum activities. This paper seeks to give insight into the discussion by describing both parties perspectives by the means of system thinking and system thinking tools. A stakeholder overview showing the main stakeholders key interests in the discussion, in addition to systemigrams illustrating their perspectives has been made.
