“…Having been intensively used and shaped by humans, it now forms a socio-ecological system (Young et al 2006). The governance of this system is under constant debate (Van der Molen et al 2016;Slob et al 2016) with regard to the impacts on its sustainability and resilience (Turnhout et al 2008;Kabat et al 2012).…”

Multi-scale mapping of cultural ecosystem services in a socio-ecological landscape: A case study of the international Wadden Sea Region

Context The governance of international natural World Heritage sites is extremely challenging. In the search for effective multilevel governance there is a need to identify the community of people which have place attachment to the areas, i.e. 'the community of fans' at local to international levels. Objectives Focusing on the landscape of the international Wadden Sea coastal area in the Netherlands, Germany and Denmark as a case study, we address three key questions: What is the spatial distribution of the community of fans? How does the size of this community relate to the overlapping communities of locals and actual visitors to the Wadden Sea coastal area? Which parts of the Wadden Sea coastal area are most appreciated by the community of fans, and how does this relate to its formal protection status? Methods We analysed 7650 respondents' answers to a trilateral web survey (the standardized Greenmapper survey) conducted in Denmark, Germany and the Netherlands. Results We estimated that 14 million German, Dutch and Danish citizens can be regarded as the potentialnational level-community of fans. The correlation between place or landscape attachment and distance was varied among the three countries. Furthermore, only 37% of the markers placed by fans of the Wadden Sea coastal area are within the protected UNESCO World Heritage limits, suggesting that a broader demarcation could be possible. Conclusions We discuss how the identification of fans can potentially contribute to more effective public involvement in the governance of valuable landscapes.

“…A range of useful frameworks and approaches have been proposed to bridge divergences in observation, scale and encounter through integration or coproduction (e.g. Brugnach and Ingram, 2012;Cash et al, 2006;Edelenbos et al, 2011;Giebels et al, 2015;Hoppe and Wesselink, 2014;Lejano and Ingram, 2009;Van der Molen et al, 2015). However, it is important to consider the limits of boundary concepts (e.g.…”

Ways of knowing – out-of-sync or incompatible? Framing water quality and farmers’ encounters with science in the regulation of non-point source pollution in the Canterbury region of New Zealand

This paper examines farmers' ways of knowing water quality and their encounters with the science used in policy to address the cumulative effects of agriculture. Drawing on constructivist theories of knowledge and discussions with farmers in two locations of New Zealand's South Island region of Canterbury, the research identifies a significant divergence between farmers' conception of the water quality problem compared to the issue's policy framing. In theory, and increasingly in practice, ways of knowing are assumed merely outof-sync and their integration or coproduction possible and necessary. This paper poses the question: what if the ways of knowing of farmers and science have become incompatible? The presented research indicates incompatibility that derives from epistemic practices that mobilise different ontologies at different scales. It is shown how the predictive practices of science present what appear to be insurmountable obstacles to integration or coproduction. It is argued that collaborative governance needs to find ways to work with divergent ways of knowing -not for the purpose of integration or coproduction but co-existence.

“…Hence, they can be understood as actors in environmental governance (Gupta et al, 2012). Overall, scholars that understand science and science institutions as part of environmental governance pay attention to the way science institutions, directly or indirectly, shape political debates and actions from the local to the global level (Bauer & Stringer, 2009;Eimer, 2014;Gupta & Möller, 2019;Hughes & Vadrot, 2019;van der Molen, van der Windt, & Swart, 2016). These perspectives show that science and governance are always intertwined, even if organised as separate activities (Lidskog & Sundqvist, 2015;Milkoreit, Bansard, & van der Hel, 2020).…”

In addressing this question, I am focusing specifically on the principle of co-production and related participatory ideals. The principle of co-production is relatively novel and different perspectives on its meaning, desirability and implementation exist. This allows me to study how different perspectives shape the development of global science institutions. I will address this question in Chapter 5 and Chapter 9.
