How can they contribute and what resources can provide |
What expectations and requirements do they have of the project |
What interests do they have that can conflict with the project |

Motivations and Orientations of stakeholders
Motivations
are to be evaluated from intrinsic (enjoyment/interest in taking part in the SmartVillages activities) to extrinsic (material expectations in taking part in the SmartVillages activities). Motivations can be explicitly stated by the stakeholders or inferred by the project partner compiling the mapping. Motivations are intimately linked to Expectations from the project and can be a predictor of Committment in the project.
Orientations
are to be measured on a scale from self-oriented (the core of decisions from the stakeholder comes from internal sources) to other-oriented (the core of decisions from the stakeholder comes from external sources. Orientations can be explicitly stated by the stakeholders or inferred by the project partner compiling the mapping.
