“…It was also evident throughout this research that public participation is largely equated with consultation (a trend observed by Dalal-Clayton and Bass, 2002), as opposed to alternative conceptions of participation espoused in the literature (e.g. Arnstein, 1969;Davidson, 1998;Kumar, 2002;Pretty, 1995). Even though discussions with both stakeholder groups were deliberately framed in terms of participation, the vast majority of responses spoke (almost unconsciously) of public consultation.…”

“…When compared to established typologies of public participation (e.g. Arnstein, 1969;Davidson, 1998;Kumar, 2002;Pretty, 1995), results appear to indicate that in Malta the process is one of public communication or public consultation at best -even if the latter term is used interchangeably with participation. At times the limited scope of public engagement appears to be explicit, whilst at other times less so.…”

“…Scope of participation 4 categories were defined, based on two broad criteria, namely inclusivity (Kapoor, 2001;Nelson and Wright, 1995;Poolman and Van De Giesen, 2006;Slocum, 1995) and the nature of information flow (Health Canada, 2000; Kapoor, 2001;OECD, 2004;Pretty, 1995;Rowe and Frewer, 2004). Minimal participation involves stakeholders solely for the purpose of obtaining data that is otherwise unavailable/inaccessible, and/or for testing data or methodologies.…”

a b s t r a c tSeveral innovative directions for landscape policy development and implementation have emerged over recent years. These include: (i) an expansion of scope to include all landscape aspects and landscape types, (ii) an increased emphasis on public participation, (iii) a focus on designing measures appropriate for different contexts and scales, and (iv) encouraging support for capacity-building. In this paper, we evaluate the extent to which these policy directions are reflected in the practice of academic landscape research. We evaluate all research papers published in three leading landscape journals over six years, as well as published research papers relating directly to the European Landscape Convention. The latter, which was adopted in 2000, establishes a framework for landscape protection, planning and management in Europe and is to date the only international legal instrument of its kind. Results indicate that whilst policy innovations do not appear to be a major stimulus for academic research, studies nevertheless address a range of landscape aspects, types and scales (albeit with a slight bias towards bio-physical landscape aspects). However, geographical representativeness of research is weak and dominated by the United States and northern/western Europe, and research capacity likewise appears to be unevenly distributed. Landscape research is also limited in the extent to which it involves stakeholders or develops innovative methods for doing so, notwithstanding that this remains a key challenge for policy-makers. Results point to the potential for landscape research to address areas (topical and geographical) which have received little attention to date, as well as suggesting mutual benefits of stronger links between policy and academia.

“…Some participatory approaches such as 115 participatory learning were successfully applied to agricultural research and development projects 116 and helped to bridge the gap between scientists and farmers (Pretty, 1995). Recently, Beza et al 117 (2017) identified crowdsourcing of farmers' data as an alternative way of getting field observations 118 to conduct yield gap analysis, alongside with remote sensing and sensor networks.…”
