A systematic review of social participation in ecosystem services studies in Latin America from a transdisciplinary perspective, 1996–2020

Civil society’s perception of forest ecosystem services. A case study in the Western Alps

“…However, these services, to contribute to human well-being, need to be identified, mapped, and assessed from an ecological perspective; furthermore, to make more robust public policy decisions it is crucial to also analyse the social interest of ES to identify lack of awareness, information asymmetry and issues arising from different stakeholders (Castro-Díaz et al, 2022). In this sense, several authors have defined a relational value, i.e., a value capable of including virtues, principles and preferences linked to human-nature interaction and capable of uniting social sciences with natural sciences of conservation, valorisation, and environmental sustainability (Arias-Arévalo et al, 2018;Chan et al, 2018;Himes and Muraca, 2018).…”

Payments for ecosystem services programs: A global review of contributions towards sustainability

“…Developing governance mechanisms of PESPs has an inseparable relationship with the development of links between MBAs and ES, providing an important base to develop integrated approaches such as hybrid governance mechanisms for PESPs [ 87 , 102 , 243 , 244 , 246 ] and transdisciplinary research 5 (TDR) for the sustainability of natural management, especially in achieving PESP outcomes [ 99 , 260 , 265 ] ((C1, II C10, II: + )→C8, I, II, III: + / * ).…”

“… Findings Relationship % C10 mentioned in the study sample 100 % Three main types of governance mechanisms in PESPs (market/voluntary, government interventions, and the hybrid PES approach) [ 53 , 243 ] to improve environmental outcomes [ 244 , 245 ] and poverty alleviation [ 243 ] I, C10, II→III: + Suggest developing hybrid governance models in PESPs [ 87 , 102 , 243 , 244 , 246 ]; C10, II→III: * Theory of market-based governance in PESPs spread since 1980s as one of the most typical characteristics of PESPs [ 89 , 171 , 246 , 251 , 252 ] C10, II→C6, C7: + . Concepts of MBAs and ES are having more and more relationships with each other [ 35 , 87 , 254 , [255] , [256] , [257] ] C10 ⇔ C1: + Development of linkages between MBAs and ES promotes hybrid governance mechanisms for PESPs [ 87 , 102 , 243 , 244 , 246 ] and TDR in achieving PESPs outcomes [ 99 , 260 , 265 ]; C1, II ⇔ C10, II: + →C8, I, II, III: + / * Hybrid governance is appropriate in many PESPs [ 53 , 73 , 87 ...…”

“…From our findings, we noted PESPs have become a typical environmental policy tool [ 12 , 35 , 212 , 254 , 297 ]. Yet, this policy is still a debatable topic in terms of the sustainability outcomes [ 12 , 38 , 298 ] from many perspectives, from theory to practice, e.g., ES concept [ 299 ], PES concept [ 37 ], effects of MBAs for ES [ 265 , 300 ], ES values, ES valuations [ 6 , [301] , [302] , [303] , [304] ], and effects of PESPs [ 12 , 151 , 204 ]. Although native ecosystems globally have been being invested billions of dollars to prevent the loss [ 115 , 305 , 306 ], ecosystem degradation continues [ 115 ].…”

A Systematic Review of Forensic Approaches to Disasters: Gaps and Challenges

“…The academic literature has widely recognized the importance of including local communities in participatory initiatives to assess and manage disaster risk (Atanga 2020; Bubb and Le Dé 2022). However, in most cases, the allegedly participatory processes are top-down, with closed and non-adaptive governments generating centralized and hierarchical policies (Castro-Díaz et al 2022). Dyball et al (2009) characterized six types of participation based on various forms and levels of involvement and the power relations of those involved in participatory initiatives.…”
