| description | This paper is a communication from the
corresponding symposium at the Global Land Project
Open Science Meeting, Berlin, March 2014. We explored
the assumption that the ecosystem services-(ES) concept
has the potential to support communication and
collaboration between actors in land use planning. If
true, the concept could facilitate collaborative planning
processes. We analyse how to evolve a planning context
in which governance networks at the local landscape level
gain importance in decision making, while the central
government delegates power. From case studies presented
during the symposium we learned that the ES-concept has
been explored for application in local land use planning
around the world. However, whether ES are recognized
as a useful planning concept depends on individual actor
preferences and cultural and contextual factors, such as the actual nature-human relationship and gender
differences. Also, successful application requires the
support of novel assessment, design and visualization
tools, which are designed to foster collaboration and
social learning. The potential of the concept to contribute
to collaborative relationships needs further investigation. |
