“…Finally, such approaches can be supported by participatory methods to enhance both the objectives around local decision-making and for the purposes of ground-truthing findings and claims about landscape change. Understanding stakeholder perspectives spatially can be achieved with participatory mapping approaches (Onencan et al, 2018;Pearce et al, 2021;Rich et al, 2015) can be used to crowd source a range social of landscape values (Brown et al, 2015) and also understand how these values vary between different members of the community (Lechner et al, 2020). Crowdsourced social data (Levin et al, 2017) paired with AI techniques represent important potential future research directions for GIS methods.…”

As the mining industry expands, a comprehensive understanding of its socioeconomic risks and benefits is urgently needed. This paper systematically reviews 71 studies (1996–2021) that utilized spatially integrated approaches to evaluate socioeconomic mining impacts. The number of studies that utilize geographic information systems and remote sensing to study mining impacts increased from 2014 onwards. A framework was used to classify the mining impacts studied in the literature and all eight framework categories – Environment, Land, People, Community, Culture, Livelihoods, Infrastructure and Housing – were captured by the literature though Culture was least studied. Coal mining, active mining phase, Landsat data and classic remote sensing algorithms were most highlighted. Future research should focus on advancing geospatial technology like artificial intelligence (AI) to better capture intangible socioeconomic impacts, under-researched minerals and long-term mine lifecycle components. Spatially referenced social data can improve stakeholder involvement and support spatially explicit planning to ensure sustainability.

“…As such areas are seen to be too often frequented, more people will likely disperse further into the uplands, which may exacerbate impacts on biodiversity in a wider area of the catchment. Given the varied attitudes towards tourism development [91], improved understanding of the nuanced perceptions of space-specific conflict in such areas is important. In turn, this can help to underpin future management of, e.g., environmentally sensitive areas or national parks, to reduce conflict driven by growing tourism and recreation.…”

Catchment-Scale Participatory Mapping Identifies Stakeholder Perceptions of Land and Water Management Conflicts

Competing socioecological demands and pressures on land and water resources have the potential to increase land use conflict. Understanding ecosystem service provisioning and trade-offs, competing land uses, and conflict between stakeholder groups in catchments is therefore critical to inform catchment management and the sustainable use of natural resources. We developed a novel stakeholder engagement methodology that incorporates participatory conflict mapping in three catchments with a short questionnaire to identify the perceptions of 43 participants from four key land and water management stakeholder groups: environmental regulators, water industry practitioners, the farm advisor community, and academics. The participatory mapping exercise produced heat maps of perceived conflict and land use competition, providing spatial detail of the complex combination of land use issues faced by catchment managers. Distinct, localised hotspots were identified in areas under pressure from flooding, abstraction, and urbanisation; as well as more dispersed issues of relevance at the landscape scale, such as from farming, forestry, energy production, and tourism. Subsequent regression modelling linked perceived conflict to land cover maps and identified coastal, urban, and grassland areas as the most likely land cover types associated with conflict in the study catchments. Our approach to participatory conflict mapping provides a novel platform for catchment management and can facilitate increased cooperation among different catchment stakeholders. In turn, land and water management conflicts can be recognised and their underlying drivers and likely solutions identified in an effort to better manage competing demands on catchment resources.

“…Although knowledge of human-nature connections and mapping methods are predominantly produced in Western contexts Fagerholm 2015, Ives et al 2017), we hypothesize that transferring this indicator to landscapes with cultural diversity has potential. First, mapping methods, including PPGIS, have already been employed in different cultural contexts and in regions of high cultural diversity, such as Tanzania (Fagerholm et al 2019), the Faroe Islands (Plieninger et al 2018), or Malaysia (Lechner et al 2020). Second, our indicator accounts for all types of meanings and attachments and their spatial configuration.…”

Sense of place is increasingly advocated to support the management of social-ecological systems. Given the concept's complexity, we suggest that an indicator for sense of place is needed to facilitate its application in practical planning. We propose such an indicator called "meaningful places," defined as geographic locations to which (i) immediately perceived as well as socially constructed meanings are ascribed and (ii) evaluative attachments are tied. We applied the indicator in two independent case studies, Lübeck and Lahn, both of which aimed to integrate sense of place in an actual planning process. The case studies differed in the spatial scale of the meaningful places, the indicator's operationalization, and the specific assessment methods. In the Lübeck case, semi-structured interviews and a simple mapping method were used to analyze participants' "home-regions." The results revealed diverse but overlapping locations characterized as aesthetic, different from others, close to nature, and quiet (place meanings). In the Lahn case, a public participation GIS (public participation geographic information system [PPGIS]) survey was conducted and yielded insights into the spatial distribution of meaningful places. The results reflect a wide range of place meanings linked to, for example, activities, aesthetic qualities, or well-being. Furthermore, participants expressed different intensities of place attachments. Although the indicator is still in an exploratory stage, it allows for reflection on potential benefits for planning practitioners. The resulting data can be combined with spatial information usually used in planning processes, e.g., about the state of the underlying physical environment and/or foreseeable drivers of change. This offers new opportunities for managers regarding the determination of priorities to conserve meaningful places, the anticipation of conflicts, and the utilization of the communicative power of meaningful places. We argue that the benefits for planning justify a new direction of research devoted to the development and further advancement of the indicator.
