“…Formal and informal networks of information-sharing relationships between individuals and groups play important roles in the facilitation of natural resource management, the encouragement or prevention of changes in land use, agricultural innovation, and the diffusion and adoption of farming practices (Bodin et al 2006;Cadger et al 2016;Conley and Udry 2001;Demiryurek 2010;Hoang et al 2006;Isaac 2012;Isaac et al 2014;Klerkx et al 2010;Leeuwis 2004;Matous and Todo 2015;Matouš et al 2013;Prell et al 2009Prell et al , 2010Rogers 2003;Solano et al 2003;Spielman et al 2009Spielman et al , 2011Tengö and Belfrage 2004).…”

“…However, without new external inputs, much of this knowledge might have been already known and shared within the community. Linking only to similar actors through internal bonding ties leads to a reliance on redundant information and can hinder sustainable environmental management (Newman and Dale 2007;Prell et al 2009). People tend to lock into the same behavior as peers in their group, which may lead to the rigid continuation of maladaptive practices and avoidance of innovative change (Scheffer and Westley 2007).…”

Agrarian communities in different regions develop diverse coping strategies to address the environmental changes they face. In this work, we test how to stimulate farmers' social learning across diverse regions to promote informed responses to soil degradation. We invited 117 randomly selected members of 16 randomly selected Sumatran communities to three 3-day networking and training events in regions with diverse socio-environmental histories. One event was held in the respondents' remote rural district (Tanggamus), the second was held in a more densely populated region on Sumatra Island (Kalianda), and the third was held in a heavily populated region on Java Island (Garut and Ciamis). Eighteen months later, we surveyed the information-sharing networks and agricultural practices of 370 members of these communities. The participants had become popular sources of agricultural advice, but the strength of this impact depended on the region in which their networking intervention was conducted. The participants in the event on Java had become the most central members of their communities. Although all the participants received the same formal information, those who interacted with the farmers in a region with the longest history of population pressure and land degradation management were more likely to adopt the recommended practices. The participants in this intervention doubled their odds of adopting organic fertilizers compared with those who networked only with peers in their local environment. Environmental memory of coping with change can be shared between regions through social learning, which can be stimulated by simple interventions.

“…Stakeholder analysis, as used in natural resource management (e.g. Prell, Hubacek and Reed, 2009), supports the identification of central and leading but also of absent stakeholder with regard to cultural markers. The structures of the respective regional identities, which is fragmented and conflicting in Lüchow-Dannenberg but consistent in the Griese Gegend, constitute the background to which further planning steps have to be adjusted.…”

Analyzing Cultural Markers to Characterize Regional Identity for Rural Planning

Regional identity is the shared sense of regional 'one-ness', distinctiveness and difference. However, it is an undervalued factor to promote development in lagging rural areas and little is known about methods to reveal its content. This paper aims to develop and apply a method to explore regional identity in rural areas. We argue that the most important cultural markers -understood as rural landscapes and heritage features, perceived as regional identity reference points -can be analyzed and used to characterize regional identity. To this end, a case study was undertaken in two rural areas in northern Germany. We conducted 55 semi-structured interviews and determined cultural markers, using a new procedure with different analysis stages (identification, collectivity, historical depth, relationships). Results revealed a broad spectrum of cultural markers exhibiting collective significance with respect to landscape, built structures, history, intangible heritage and land-use. Next to traditional cultural markers, we found modern ones, introduced after the Second World War. Partially, traditional and modern cultural markers were perceived as related. Based on this knowledge, a first characterization of both regional identities was conducted, showing differences between our study areas. While one regional identity appears to be fragmented, conflicting and influenced by modern cultural markers, the other was characterized as coherent and rooted in traditional cultural markers. However, the integration of these characterizations into further planning steps remains challenging and needs additional, regionally adapted methods. A key finding of the study is that there is no single standard method for linking regional identity and rural planning.

“…Em primeiro momento, entretanto, mostra-se necessária a definição das características do objeto estudado e suas questões centrais, de modo a mapear e identificar os stakeholders envolvidos (Savage et al, 1991;Prell et al, 2009). Trata-se de um ponto de partida relevante, porém, segundo Prell et al (2009), raramente evidenciado nas análises ().…”

“…O interesse no projeto, ou propostas de desenvolvimento organizacional, também são fatores relevantes ao considerar a disposição dos atores envolvidos em colaborar ou não com os objetivos de uma organização (Savage et al, 1991;Kamann, 2007;Prell et al, 2009 No âmbito do potencial ameaçador e colaborador das relações, Savage et al (1991) desenvolveu a análise das influências exercidas por grupos de stakeholders envolvidos num processo de greve que ameaçou diretamente uma companhia aérea americana. Na proposta metodológica foram consideradas questões fundamentadas no poder ameaçador e colaborador dos grupos de stakeholders-chave (key-stakeholders) relacionados com a questão central (greve da União de Maquinistas) estudada, gerando um sociograma simplificado, identificando os fluxos de relações existentes.…”
