Interest in impact evaluation has grown rapidly as research funders increasingly demand evidence that their investments lead to public benefits. This paper analyses literature provide a new definition of and evaluation, develops typology designs, proposes methodological framework guide evaluations the significance reach can be attributed research. An adapted Grounded Theory Analysis frameworks drawn from cross-disciplinary peer-reviewed grey literature. Recognizing subjective nature impacts...
The main objective is to assess preference heterogeneity related the spatial distribution of water quality improvements throughout a river basin. In choice experiment, basin's hydrogeographical units and levels improvement are included as attributes in experimental design. Changes basin visualized with maps modeled simultaneously relation where respondents live, random utility model. Not accounting for results, this case study, an underestimation welfare when aggregating willingness-to-pay...
Stated preference methods are frequently employed to measure people's willingness pay (WTP) for ecosystem services. However, these techniques also criticized following a simplified approach, which often ignores the role of complex psychological and sociological factors, such as general environmental attitudes place identity beliefs. By means discrete choice experiment exercise, we explored influence perceptions on WTP, taking peatland restoration in Scotland case study. Our research adds...
Abstract Conservation performance payments (CPPs) aim to encourage coexistence between humans and large carnivores by tying species presence or abundance. While there is growing interest in the development of these programs, they remain subject little empirical research. Furthermore, no literature on CPPs for Africa, despite continent's global importance carnivore conservation fact that multiple such schemes are currently operation. This research establishes where how function identifies...
Prioritising human well-being while avoiding further damage to the planet is a key challenge in era of climate change. This paper examines role energy as an intermediary between change and socio-economic outcomes, with ultimate goal identifying ways decoupling from use. Building on Max-Neef's "Human Scale Development" framework conceptualisation needs, we propose novel community-level participatory approach identify connections services one hand need satisfaction other. then enables...
The chaotic distribution and dispersal of phosphorus (P) used in food systems (defined here as disorderly disruptions to the P cycle) is harming our environment beyond acceptable limits. An analysis stores flows across Europe 2005 showed that high fertiliser inputs relative productive outputs was driving low system efficiency (38 % overall). Regional imbalance (P surplus) losses were highly correlated total animal densities, causing unnecessary accumulation soils rivers. Reducing regional...
As the urgency to adapt climate change intensifies, nature-based solutions (NBS) are receiving increasing attention.To mainstream NBS, a fundamental shift in environmental management is required.This study evaluates role that Communities of Practice (CoP) can play as platforms foster social learning drive such paradigm shift.A Natural Flood Management (NFM) CoP Yorkshire, UK, was used case study.A unique research design combined opportunistic data collected prior inception and purposive...
Valuing water is gaining popularity among policymakers and academics as a new management paradigm. However, there lack of clarity about how to translate this paradigm into practice. We propose multifaceted approach valuing that considers not just the values people assign water, such its uses benefits, but also broader personal guiding principles (e.g., security) governance-related social justice) underpin decision-making water. Using an interdisciplinary conceptual framework data from global...
