Framing ecosystem services: Affecting behaviour of actors in collaborative landscape planning?
The concept of ecosystem services shifts the human-nature relationship from a conservation-oriented into a utility-oriented one
Abstract
The concept of ecosystem services shifts the human-nature relationship from a conservation-oriented into a utility-oriented one. Advocates of the concept assume that it can alter the attitude and behaviour of human actors with respect to nature. The ecosystem services concept has so far received little attention in scientific literature about collaborative landscape planning. Consequently the potential of information about ecosystem services to influence landscape planning processes is unknown. In this paper we address the impact of different storylines about ecosystem services on actor behaviour.
