“…Impact evaluation studies do exist in the literature, but they are carried out for PES schemes implemented in threatened and degraded areas, for conservation and protection or poverty alleviation [49][50][51][52]. For PES schemes that are instead implemented the suggestions of external organisations, for example by scientific projects (i.e., solution-driven PES scheme; see 2.1.1), and that do not originate to address a threat, but rather to increase the welfare of the local communities, some have identified the successful elements for its implementation [53] or have done an ex-ante evaluation [23], but an ex-post evaluation framework is lacking. This is the context for our research, the aim of which is to investigate which bottlenecks and elements might hinder the success of a solution-driven PES scheme.…”

Payments for Ecosystem Services are a voluntary market-based instrument to remunerate provider(s) of ecosystem services by those who benefit from them. Our research aimed to create an ex-post evaluation framework to identify bottlenecks and elements hindering the success of a solution-driven PES scheme. The framework was applied to a case study to test its feasibility and concerns the provision of health and recreational services in the Medvednica Nature Park (Zagreb, Croatia). The framework was set up through three main sources: the study of PES implementation project documentation, semi-structured interviews with visitors and key stakeholders and web-scraping of TripAdvisor reviews of the park. The main findings confirmed society's interest in the park, but the lack of mapping, quantification, economic valuation and accounting of the services analysed, society's little or no demand to pay for their provision and confused knowledge of the property rights of some ecosystem service providers in the area limit the success of the PES scheme. The framework was useful to describe the chosen PES scheme and to identify bottlenecks and fragilities of the system in place, allowing to correct its application flaws and, on the other hand, to demonstrate its replicability in other contexts.

“…Raja Ampat as case study area provides different characteristics compared to other PES schemes outlined by most literatures. Most PES schemes are implemented on single delineated terrestrial areas, with less heterogeneous local communities, and few stakeholder organizations involved [3,9,17,23]. Raja Ampat PES-like scheme is implemented in the whole Regency covering around 4 million hectares area of archipelago where 117 villages and 6 MPAs are scattered across the Regency.…”

“…Third, payment mechanisms need to represent an equitable distribution of costs and benefits in the eyes of the participating groups [1]. Fourth, it is important for local communities, in whose territories the PES arrangement is set, to benefit, for example by income accrued to local communities, job creation, or other forms of livelihood enhancement [17]. Conceptually, these design principles of PES arrangements resonate with the environmental governance literature in understanding how governance arrangements can be steered in ways that are seen by those involved as effective, participatory, equitable and transparent [23] This paper aims to contribute to our understanding of policy change in financing marine conservation tourism by analysing the Raja Ampat entrance fee as a PES governance arrangement.…”

“…The former refers to the general functions obtained by particular forest management patterns; the latter entails other functions related to goods and service production which can both satisfy the needs of local communities and generate additional sources of income for them. Forest management which can achieve both these ends is necessary for long term sustainability and operating and management methods which simultaneously guarantee long term sustainability and allow products and services to be translated into sources of income for local populations are therefore necessary [20].…”

Abstract:The promotion of sustainable tourism models has been widely debated; many pages have been devoted to the attempt to provide the subject with a strong theoretical base and coherent structure. This said, it is still the case that, although such frameworks are crucial for the development of appropriate planning and policy instruments, their actual implementation continue to be fraught with difficulties. These problems are exacerbated when sustainable tourism entails development opportunities which require the support of the local community and the management of natural resources which are typically common goods. Under these circumstances, new management structures, which can both satisfy the needs of the local community and ensure the appropriate stewardship of the natural resources, must be created. Management solutions are not always easy to define and often need to be considered within a general framework, based on which individual cases are then formulated. This study analyses the connections between models of sustainable tourism and natural resource management considering the forest landscape case. This relationship is first examined from a theoretical perspective and then within a case study, in order to highlight the dual approach-both general and within a specific context.
