“…The PES organizers decision to make the implementation more efficient through spatial targeting appears to have minimal negative impacts on perceptions of fairness. Importantly, research has found that more generic PES schemes fail to recognize the culture and cohesive function of communities (Boelens, Hoogesteger, & de Francisco, 2014) and that they must be malleable to adapt to diverse local norms and traditions. We find that prioritizing environmental effectiveness, in combination with reducing implementation costs, can be both efficient and fair.…”

Participants in payments for ecosystem services (PES) schemes can be identified in numerous ways, for example, through social or spatial targeting. However, little is known about how the type of participant targeting will influence the PES outcomes. Using a longstanding PES scheme in Cidanau Indonesia, we evaluate the outcomes of using social and spatial participant identification. The outcomes compared are participant perceptions of equity, understanding, and compliance. This scheme contracts farmers at the group level and has had two implementation phases, the first contracted farmers based on social relationships and the second based on spatial proximity of their plots to reduce monitoring costs. We find that both the social and spatial targeting of participants is perceived as fair, and all participants are complying. Our results thus suggest that the perceived trade-off between efficiency and equity is not ubiquitous and that efficiency gains were made without compromising compliance and perceived equity. We also find that training for the farmer group (FG) leaders is crucial in ensuring that the rest of the FG members understand the PES scheme and its requirements.

“…Este concepto, territorio hidrosocial, constituye la base de la gestión socioproductiva, política y cultural de las comunidades y relacionan redes socionaturales con espacios físico-naturales y paisajes del agua en los cuales la gente vive y reproduce sus medios de vida e identidades (Boelens et al, 2014, citado por Rocha, 2014. El mismo autor, citando a Gerbrandy y Hoogendam (2001), afirma que «el control y defensa de los territorios hidrosociales en las comunidades, involucran, además del derecho de acceso y aprovechamiento material de los recursos hídricos que contiene, el derecho a tomar decisiones sobre estos recursos».…”

ResumenLa Amazonía está ubicada en la periferia de lo que muchos autores llaman un proceso de «urbanización mundial». Sin embargo, es innegable el aumento de la población que vive en ciudades y la adopción de un modelo de desarrollo económico basado en la extracción de recursos naturales. Estas dinámicas han convertido el agua en un recurso escaso, a pesar de pesar de que hay una gran disponibilidad física. ¿Qué rol cumple hoy la gestión del agua en la construcción de territorios? Conceptos como ciclo hidrosocial, red hidrosocial y paisajes del agua se aplican en la ciudad de Lamas (San Martín, Perú), permitiendo comprender los territorios hidrosociales existentes y la falta de sostenibilidad vinculada con estos. Palabras clave: territorios hidrosociales, red hidrosocial, ciclo hidrosocial, paisajes del agua. Les territoires hidrosociaux de la ville de Lamas (San Martín, Pérou): eau, société et pouvoirRésumé L'Amazonie est située à la périphérie de ce que de nombreuses théories considèrent comme un processus «d'urbanisation mondiale». Cependant, il est indéniable l'augmentation de la population vivant dans les centres urbaines et l'adoption d'un modèle de développement économique fondé sur l'extraction des ressources naturelles. Ces dynamiques ont fait de l'eau une ressource rare en dépit d'être abondante. Quel rôle a aujourd'hui, la gestion de l'eau dans la construction des territoires ? Des concepts tels que le cycle hydrosocial, réseau hydrosocial et paysages de l'eau sont appliqués dans la ville de Lamas (San Martín, Pérou), permettant comprendre les territoires hidrosociaux existants et le manque de durabilité liés à ceux-ci. Mots-clés: territoires hydrosociaux, réseau hydrosocial, cycle hydrosocial, paysages de l'eau. 92Espacio y Desarrollo N° 29, 2017 / ISSN 1016 The hydrosocial territories of the city of Lamas (San Martin, Peru): water, society and power AbstractThe Amazon is located on the periphery of what is called a «global urbanization» process. However, the increase in the urban population and the adoption of an economic development model based on the extraction of natural resources are undeniable. These dynamics have made water become a scarce resource, despite of its physical availability. What role does water management play in the construction of territories nowadays? Concepts such as the hydro-social cycle, hydro-social network and water landscapes are applied in the city of Lamas (San Martin, Peru), allowing the understanding of existing hydro-social territories and the lack of sustainability linked to them.

“…Thus, certain collective organizations maintain an internal structure that re-circulates experiences for the management of resources. These organizational processes have been extensively analyzed by Boelens [56] and Boelens [57]. The transmitted experience feeds the decision of the whole community that goes hand in hand with respect for nature.…”
