Forming shared values in conservation management: An interpretive-deliberative-democratic approach to including community voices

Conceptualizing Social Outcomes of Large Marine Protected Areas

“…Demonstrating tangible social benefits can be the "deciding factor" in public support for MPAs (Charles and Wilson 2009, 11), which may ultimately determine the fate of fisheries and biodiversity conservation outcomes (Walmsley and White 2003). Understanding and mitigating negative social impacts is equally important for improving social acceptance of MPAs and reducing conflict, which, again, is instrumental to ecological success (Ranger et al 2016). In addition to effectiveness, there is a strong ethical argument for ensuring that MPA outcomes are equitable (Spalding et al 2016) and socially just (Jones 2009).…”

Navigating pluralism: Understanding perceptions of the ecosystem services concept

“…The concept of ecosystem services has stimulated much debate about the notion of value, 583 and how best to measure it; bringing together scholars from a wide range of disciplines 584 (Chan et al, 2016(Chan et al, , 2012Edwards et al, 2016;Fanny et al, 2014;Fish et al, 2016;Jacobs et 585 al., 2018Jacobs et 585 al., , 2016Jax et al, 2013;Kenter et al, 2016bKenter et al, , 2015Ranger et al, 2016;Sagoff, 586 2011). Here we see ecosystem services work as an effective boundary object, and many 587 methodologies now exist for integrating different types of values into ecosystem service 588 assessments (Iniesta-Arandia et al, 2014;Jacobs et al, 2016;Kenter, 2016;Kenter et al, 589 2016bKenter et al, 589 , 2016aRanger et al, 2016). Such methodologies are now established as a part of the 590 plethora of existing ecosystem services approaches and practices.…”

The Value Landscape in Ecosystem Services: Value, Value Wherefore Art Thou Value?

“…In the development of their deliberative value formation (DVF) model, Kenter et al [52] emphasize that it is "informed by social-psychological theory" with the capacity to identify both "positive" and "negative" outputs of the deliberation process as well as "key factors that influence outcomes". Explaining the wider significance of the DVF model [52] Further recent progress in deliberative approaches and DMV has extended the range of value articulating processes applied to facilitate the expression of individual and group values, whereby DMV has been allied to participatory mapping, systems modelling and psychometric methods [55], alongside more deliberative-interpretive approaches like story-telling [56], ethnography [57] and arts-led dialogues [58]. Combinatorial approaches such as these have the advantage of enhancing the strengths whilst simultaneously reducing the weaknesses of individually applied monetary and non-monetary approaches [56].…”
