PDFSocio-cultural valuation of ecosystem services: uncovering the links between values, drivers of change, and human well-being
Ecosystem services studies currently lack information regarding stakeholders' socio-cultural values. This information is highly relevant to human well-being, which is the motivation of ecosystem services assessments. We present results from an analysis of stakeholders' perceptions of ecosystem services, well-being and drivers of change in two semi-arid watersheds in south-eastern Spain. Based on the information compiled through a literature review, participant observation and semi-structured interviews, we designed a questionnaire and conducted 381 interviews. Our results show that semiarid watersheds deliver a large variety of ecosystem services; however, these services are perceived in different ways. We identified five stakeholder groups, including: locals dependent on provisioning ecosystem services, locals not directly dependent on provisioning ecosystem services, environmental and local development professionals and rural and nature tourists. Overall, provisioning services related to traditional practices were perceived as highly important and highly vulnerable by every stakeholder group. However, we found contrasting perceptions of some ecosystem services among stakeholders and of the relevant drivers of change and well-being. We suggest that socio-cultural valuation is a useful tool to prioritize ecosystem services but more attention should be directed to emerging trade-offs. Linking values to other stakeholder perceptions might be a useful way to move forward in ecosystem services valuation.		 2.68MB29.10.2014Margarita GrudovaBESAFE acknowledged and related SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS

PDFTrade-offs across value-domains in ecosystem services assessment
One of the key challenges for ecosystem services research is to develop a comprehensive methodological
approach in which biophysical, socio-cultural and monetary value-domains can be explicitly considered
and integrated into decision making processes. This paper operationalizes a methodological approach
for ecosystem service assessment on the basis of value pluralism. We assessed eleven ecosystem services
delivered in the Do˜nana social–ecological system (SW Spain). We found that different ecosystem service
trade-offs came into view depending the value-domain in which services were assessed. The use of different
valuation methods uncovers the fact that methods to elicit value actually shape and define the values
being elicited. In this context, the prevalence of biophysical and monetary value-domains in scientific
literature entails two main concerns: (1) the ecosystem service concept reflect in a limited extent the
concerns of their beneficiaries, and (2) ecosystem service assessment results are biased towards the information
provided by markets at the expense of other value-articulating institutions. Recognizing the role
of ecosystem service assessment methods as value-articulating institutions, we call for a methodological
framework able to contemplate the multidimensional nature of ecosystem services.		 1MB10.10.2013Margarita GrudovaBESAFE acknowledged and related SCIENTIFIC PUBLICATIONS
