Purpose Due to the large and fast growing sentiment analysis (SA) area recently, many new concepts and different nomenclatures have emerged without the desired organization. This confusion in the research field makes the understandability of the concepts hard and also hampers the comparison of different approaches. Thus, this paper aims to propose a hierarchical taxonomy to help the consolidation of SA area. The taxonomy aims at covering the addressed problems and methods in the SA field. Design/methodology/approach This taxonomy is a filtered union of various classifications found in the literature with a proposal of nomenclatures standardization. As instance, a case study is presented with 20 SA-related articles classified according to the proposed taxonomy. Findings This taxonomy is very expressive because it covers many concepts and is also effective once it allows the distinction and categorization of the previous SA works. Originality/value To the best of the authors’ knowledge, the literature does not present such an expressive and effective classification as proposed in this paper. This new taxonomy allows for the navigation between the existing concepts in the SA field as well as, facilitates the search, comparison and indexing of papers already published.
Context: This study uses landscape ecology tools and methods for developing participatory scenarios through spatially explicit modelling to forge innovative governance frameworks in the buffer areas of Rio Doce State Park in Brazil. We built on experiences from land management to derive contextual knowledge from evidence of landscape management that may be synthesized into theory within the field for supporting progress towards sustainable land use alternatives.Objective: We examined how evidence from landscape management in Rio Doce Park and its buffer areas can be synthesized to foster landscape governance . For that we used 1) participatory scenarios for envisioning and exploring possible and desirable futures, as seen by the local communities; 2) multicriteria analysis for modeling and mapping areas holding biophysical potential to carry out the activities seen as desirable by local communities; and 3) explored how those desirable futures can be implemented by framing appropriate multiscale governance.Results: Our results show that landscape ecology tools and methods were able to foster stakeholder engagement and, in an innovative way, brought the views of local community stakeholders into landscape policy making. Although there is institutional capacity for moving towards sustainability there is the need to go beyond sectoral approaches to land management and integrate broader societal demands into the conservation agenda. The institutional setting is confusing and readjusting it to implement desirable futures sought by communities depends on an emerging set of landscape stewards. Conclusion: The experience emerging from this work and the participation in governance forums for over 6 years (2016-2021), highlights that while landscape ecology helps at envisioning desirable scenarios, and that landscape approaches are helpful for discussing and reconciling different interests, there is not yet a landscape institutional leader pushing by the enforcement of a whole landscape approach reconciling sectoral integration (agriculture, forestry, tourism & conservation) as well as the cross scale governance needed for implementing desirable landscape scenarios in the buffer area of PERD. This adds to the scope for more responsive governance and the changing role of university-based research for working towards sustainable landscape outcomes. This research provides the basis for exciting future innovation in landscape ecology practices and management.Landscape ecology is a leading field, both in research and practice, for investigating the relationships between social and natural processes mediated by land use changes. Despite a rich variety of empirical case studies, research and practice in landscape ecology has been falling behind in interpreting, modelling, predicting and developing knowledge for helping to influence the behaviour of social agents, including governmental and non governmental institutions, in moving towards more sustainable land uses across tropical landscapes. This study uses landscape ecology tools and methods for developing participatory scenarios through spatially explicit modelling to forge innovative governance frameworks in the buffer areas of Rio Doce State Park in Brazil. We built on experiences from land management to derive contextual knowledge from evidence of landscape management that may be synthesized into theory within the field for supporting progress towards sustainable land use alternatives. Our results show that landscape ecology tools and methods were able to foster stakeholder engagement and, in an innovative way, brought the views of local community stakeholders into landscape policy making. Although there is institutional capacity for moving towards sustainability there is the need to go beyond sectoral approaches to land management integrating broader societal demands into the conservation agenda by using landscape approaches. This adds to the scope for more responsive governance and the changing role of university-based research for working towards sustainable landscape outcomes. This research provides the basis for exciting future innovation in landscape ecology practices and management.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
