“…For example, in the United States, Urban Long-Term Research Areas (ULTRAs) are beginning to resemble a participatory research model by involving the public in research to various degrees, giving them the knowledge needed for potential management activities to improve environmental health and community well-being (Barbosa et al, 2004;Anderson et al, 2008;Pickett et al, 2011). The ULTRAs bring together diverse groups of scientists, both social and biophysical, to focus expertise on broad ranges of issues focused on urban areas (Wolf and Kruger, 2010).…”

“…The dataset provides a generic framework for European scale analysis of LTSER. Although it cannot incorporate the complex interactions that define individual socio-systems (cf Anderson et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2010), it provides a European context for LTSER, based on the conceptual framework outlined by Redman et al (2004).…”

“…Although the resulting dataset cannot take into account the complex interactions that define specific socio-ecological systems (cf Anderson et al, 2008;Singh et al, 2010), it provides a framework for a first assessment of LTER activities across European socio-ecological gradients. This analysis identifies biogeophysical and socio-economic regions that are poorly represented in the current series of sites.…”

“…Los resultados de la encuesta muestran que la mayoría de las investigaciones de los sitios se asocian a líneas de investigación un tanto clásicas, en especial ecología, y que prácticamente no hay investigación en temas sociales y, en particular, en aquellos que vinculan aspectos ecológicos y sociales. Este es un gran desafío, ya que es fundamental avanzar en llenar el histórico vacío que hay entre las investigaciones científicas y la sociedad, es decir, los usuarios de los recursos y los tomadores de decisiones que afectan el uso de los recursos (Knight et al 2006, Anderson et al 2008, Sunderland et al 2009). …”

SUMMARYCurrently Chile belongs to the International Long Term Ecological Research network (ILTER) through three sites: Bosque Fray Jorge National Park, Senda Darwin Biological Station, and Omora Ethnobotanic Park. At the end of 2012 a workshop was held in the Las Animas Cascade Nature Sanctuary with the aim of exploring the potential inclusion of other long-term ecological research sites into the so-called Long-Term Social-Ecological Research sites of Chile (LTSER-Chile). One of the conclusions of this workshop was that it is necessary to know with certain depth what is each site doing in terms of research, education, and outreach. As a consequence, at the beginning of 2013 we conducted a survey to 13 sites, including the three foundational sites and 10 potential sites identified during the workshop. Once received the answers from 12 of the 13 sites, we found that these sites are concentrated mainly in the Valdivian Ecoregion (39-42° S), and the research activities are related mainly to terrestrial ecology and marine ecology in two cases. Almost all sites had activities during the last decade, few sites had long-term research, most sites have conducted outreach activities, but no site had socioecological research. The results show the potential of the sites to extend the LTSER-Chile, but illustrate the need to establish future criteria to belong to the network and the need to include sites in Ecoregions not represented so far.
