“…(Rawluk et al 2021, online) However, in this case rangers represent something of an anomaly. Co-operative management approaches that consider rangers as having complementary or similar values to other stakeholders (Avriel-Avni et al 2021) and directly involve them as co-researchers in decision-making and management decisions (Carmichael et al 2020) are less prevalent in the research literature than those that use rangers' and others' (farmers, foresters) knowledge to inform higher-level decision-making (Etienne et al 2002;Seijo et al 2020), or to improve the flow of communication amongst stakeholder groups (Dorji et al 2021;Willenbrink et al 2021). Notably, it is rangers themselves who are rallying for change, arguing that their shared, engaged and tacit knowledge of an area, its cultural knowledge, and their particular skills.…”

Park rangers hold a unique set of knowledge—of science, of publics, of institutional structures, of place, and of self—that should be recognised as valuable. For too long, models of the knowledge of scientists and publics have set people like rangers in an inbetweener position, seeing them as good at communicating, translating or negotiating from one side to the other, but not as making knowledge that is powerful in its own right. In this paper we argue that focus groups with park rangers across regional and conservation parks in Aotearoa/New Zealand reveal the complexity and multiplicity of rangers’ knowledge-making that shows the science-public model as incomplete. We argue further that the model is flawed for its focus on the making and holding of knowledge and not also on how it is enacted. Rangers, we argue, are responsible every day for making knowledgeable decisions for the health and well-being of parks and people. Making good decisions, though, requires not just knowledge but also care. An understanding of the many ways rangers know and enact their knowledge is important for biosecurity practice, especially in models of adaptive governance.

“…PLES conflict is essentially a conflict between land uses. In recent years, many scholars have analyzed and studied spatial conflicts from different professional perspectives [7][8][9][10][11][12]， The existing methods for quantitative identification of spatial conflicts mainly include the integrated index method [13]、competitive evaluation method [14], and suitability evaluation method [15]. Zou et al developed an adaptability evaluation model based on suitability evaluation, through which conflict identification and intensity diagnosis were developed [16].…”

With the development of social economy, the limited land resources and the high concentration of population and industries bring great pressure on the rational allocation of national land space. In this paper, based on the classification system of Production-Living-Ecological Spaces(PLES), the land use data of nine cities along the Yellow River in Shandong Province for the four periods of 2005, 2010, 2015 and 2020 are divided into PLES, and the conflict intensity of PLES is diagnosed, and the conflict level is integrated with the appropriateness of the land space and the game model of PLES, and the resilient land space of the study area is divided into five categories: ecological protection zone, ecological restoration zone, ecological cultivation zone, ecological production zone and non-ecological zone. The results show that: (1) The overall conflict level of PLES shows a characteristic of "the proportion of high conflict level increases year by year, while the proportion of low conflict level decreases year by year". (2) The proportions of unsuitable, low suitable, general suitable and high suitable zones in the ecological suitability of land space are 42.21%, 30.13%, 22.39% and 5.27% of the total area of the study area, respectively. (3) The eco-restoration zone accounted for 15.53%, the eco-cultivation zone accounted for 0.86%, and the non-ecological zone accounted for 69.68% of the whole study area. The study delineates different ecological spaces and provides a new perspective for ecological space optimization.

“…Therefore, starting from exploring the differences in the functions of PLES in different regions, as well as the functional relationship between them, it is an effective method to mitigate land-use conflicts to achieve balanced and coordinated development of the region by probing the shortcomings of regional development and clarifying the characteristics of regional spatial patterns. The available research on the methods of quantitative recognition of spatial conflict mainly includes the comprehensive index model, which calculates the spatial conflict index based on the complexity, fragility, and dynamics of the land use system [8]; the competitiveness evaluation model, which ranks the conflicts of the construction, agriculture, and ecology space by the establishment of a competitiveness evaluation index system based on land suitability and driving force [9]; and the suitability evaluation model, which identifies spatial conflicts by evaluating the suitability of the specific land-use types [10]. This kind of method, combined with the geographic information system (GIS), introduced the multi-criteria spatial decision support system [11,12].…”

Production–living–ecological space (PLES) basically covers the scope of spatial activities in people’s material production and spiritual life and is the basic carrier of human social development and economic activities. The coordinated development of PLES is an effective method to mitigate land-use conflicts to achieve balanced and coordinated development of the region. However, so far, compared with the single-scale study based on administrative unit, the PLES conflicts between microcosmic grid-scale receives less attention. Considering the important scale problems of the geographical study, this study aims to analyze the synergetic degree of PLES under different scales (administrative-unit, grid, and integrated multiscale) and to scientifically diagnose land use conflicts in Ningbo, China. Results indicated that production land and ecological land in Ningbo were continuously occupied by human activities from 2010 to 2018. The lowest and lower suitability areas of ecological space in Ningbo increased from 2010 to 2018. Land ecological suitability was seriously affected by urban expansion, its ecological value was reduced, and the PLES developed towards the trend of being uncoordinated. Multiscale coupling analysis showed that the PLES in Ningbo was in less conflict on the whole, but with the development of the economy, the coupling coordination degree of PLES was also damaged. This study establishes the different scales of a PLES coupling coordination development degree evaluation index system and enriches the methods of multiscale land use fusion conflict diagnosis and also provides a scientific reference for the optimized and sustainable development of regional territorial space.
