Abstract This article differentiates between descriptive and explanatory factors to develop a typology theory of stakeholder public engagement. The describes different types engagement, the comprises four that explain much variation in outcomes (for natural environment and/or for participants) First, we use narrative literature search new engagement based on agency (who initiates leads engagement) mode (from communication coproduction). We then propose from engagement: (1) number...
Natural hazard risk is largely projected to increase in the future, placing growing responsibility on decision makers proactively reduce risk. Consequently, support systems (DSSs) for natural reduction (NHRR) are becoming increasingly important. In order provide directions future research this area, a comprehensive classification system review of NHRR-DSSs introduced, including scoping, problem formulation, analysis framework, user and organisational interaction with system, engagement,...
Socio-Ecological System modelling projects are becoming increasingly complicated, with multiple actors and aspects being the norm. Such can cause problems for modellers when this involves different elements, goals, philosophies, etc., all pulling in directions – we call “Chimaera Modelling.” Although such situations common you talk to modellers, they do not seem be explicitly discussed literature. In paper, attempt turn perceived “inside” phenomenon into an “outside” start a debate increase...
Desertification in Spain is a largely society-driven process, which can be managed effectively only through an understanding of environmental, sociocultural, and economic driving forces. This calls for more active role decision makers other stakeholders. We present two promising approachesparticipatory stakeholder workshops spatial policy support system (PoSS)ˆto develop future scenarios land-use change watershed Spain. furthermore discuss the efforts involved added values combining both...
In recent decades several methods have been proposed to simulate land-use changes in a spatially explicit way. these models land is generally represented on lattice with cell states indicating the predominant use. Since can only one state, mixed uses and different densities of use be introduced superficially, as separate states. this paper we describe cellular automata model that simulates dynamics both activities, where activities represent quantitative information, such number inhabitants...
Traditionally soils have not received much attention in urban planning. For this, tools are needed that can both be understood by soil scientists and planners. The purpose of this paper is to enhance the role knowledge planning practice, through following objectives: (1) identifying plays recent plans; (2) analysing ecosystem services indicators used science an context; (3) inferring main challenges opportunities integrate into Seven plans reports world cities include sustainability goals...
Soils form the basis for agricultural production and other ecosystem services, soil management should aim at improving their quality resilience. Within SoilCare project, concept of soil-improving cropping systems (SICS) was developed as a holistic approach to facilitate adoption that is sustainable profitable. SICS selected with stakeholders were monitored evaluated environmental, sociocultural, economic effects determine profitability sustainability. Monitoring results upscaled European...
