Abstract: Abstract The sustainability in local management depends not only on the condition of the environment but also on the complex interrelationships of stakeholders. This paper employed the stakeholder theory (ST) and social network analysis (SNA) to identify the most influential actors. Based on text analysis of meeting minutes from the public hearings in Cozumel, Mexico, actors are considered interlocutors who transmit or receive messages related to political action. SNA has been used to calculate interest and influence scores for each stakeholder in promoting Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). It was found that stakeholders with higher centrality levels are directly related to SDG 11, encouraging Sustainable Cities; and the public sector is the one who dominates the decision-making process in the local management. These results helped to elucidate the structure of the networks and the stakeholders’ roles, highlighting that the exercise of governance and democratic governability are scarce and far from reaching heterogeneous practices in the decision-making process.
