“…QGIS 2.10.1 was used for the spatial analysis, Excel 2007 and R v 3.2.5 2016.04.14 for the statistical analysis. In addition, a mapping of aggregated patterns of CES was conducted following Plieninger et al (2013), calculating the intensity, richness and diversity of cultural services, as it provides the means to capture spatial information on social landscape values, and its subsequent integration into a geographic information system and (Brown and Reed 2012;Fagerholm et al (2012).…”

“…A deliberative process of value elicitation is used to extract and give form to the communities' traditional knowledge of the landscape. This is achieved through a combination of mapping and semi-structured interviews with subsequent integration in a geographical information system (GIS) (Fagerholm et al 2012;Palomo et al 2013;.…”

“…Studies incorporating community stakeholders' knowledge have also been conducted in Africa (Chalmers and Fabricius 2007;Fagerholm and Käyhkö 2009;Sileshi et al 2009;Fagerholm et al 2012;Schnegg et al 2014) All the aforementioned studies demonstrate that traditional knowledge should be a key component of decision-making. They also show the importance of identifying in which ecological features are associated with the cultural heritage values of stakeholders in a given cultural context and how changes in these features could affect those values.…”

Understanding the significance that cultural ecosystem services (CES) have for traditional communities will provide useful input to the design of more appropriate regional or territorial plans for the area in which they are located. We conducted semi-structured surveys in 11 indigenous communities within the corregimiento La Pedrera, of the Colombian Amazon. We analysed the CES established in the region through a study of their preferences in relation to the service providing units (SPUs) identified, using the Shannon diversity index method as an indicator of 'diversity of use'. More CES were identified in communities with a larger population; education and recreation were the two most prevalent CES categories in the study area. Our findings also highlight the cultural importance of bodies of water, which were strongly linked with Spiritual and Sense of Place CES. Furthermore, the integration of qualitative and quantitative assessments enables a better understanding of the importance CES which have for the local communities involved in the study and may assist in the management of the indigenous territory.ARTICLE HISTORY

“…2 ("case study"/"small region" scales and DF-C, DF-A-C models) contains research that aims at understanding the functioning of the landscape system, and addressing questions such as the following: How has the landscape developed (e.g., via oral histories, local texts, and narratives)? What are the values assigned to these landscapes by its users (e.g., via questionnaires, image elicitation, or public participation geographical information systems (PPGIS) (Fagerholm et al 2012, Palomo et al 2013, Scolozzi et al 2014? What are the drivers of landscape change (e.g., Bürgi et al 2015, Lieskovský et al 2015?…”

“…Landscape values are becoming central in landscape management and planning, in particular, the issue of how landscapes are evaluated by different groups of landscape users (Fagerholm et al 2012). Local opinions regarding preferences, perceptions, feelings, and values assigned to the landscape by its residents were captured using an A-C model.…”

ABSTRACT. Landscape change and its drivers have been the focus of a growing body of literature in the past years. Our objective is to present different approaches to studying and understanding landscape change. We sketch the way in which different approaches and existing conceptual models are related to spatial scales and epistemological aims, and discuss complementarity and a range of applications with five specific research approaches from a Mediterranean landscape, including approaches at national and European levels. These include an analysis of historical landscape change, an investigation of decision-making processes, public awareness raising, evaluation of landscape services, and provision of policy support with data from published and unpublished material. The findings indicate that on the issue of complementarity, some models work better together with others. A major difference observed is the role that conceptual models and related approaches provide to the "voice" of stakeholders and actors of landscape change, sometimes contradicting, but often complementary. An important issue that comes up is a need for a plurality of research approaches and underlying conceptualizations of human-environment interactions, as the approaches represent different lenses for looking at the humanenvironmental system that are all abstractions from the full complexity of how decision-making on land use is conducted.
