“…As an example, Peña et al [19] propose the inclusion of geosites into planning instruments of protected areas and facilitate tools and methodologies to do so. In the studies related to cultural ecosystem services, a spatial mismatch between recreation ES supply and demand was observed and communicated to decision-makers, who considered this results useful to identify areas that can be targeted for improvement of landscape and recreation management [20,21].…”

“…Many up to date innovative ecosystem services methodologies are used during this assessment at different working scales, being the following the principal research lines carried out during the process: 1) Studying conditions & trends of Biodiversity & ecosystem services using indicators, and developing a multifunctionality indicator [16,17]; 2) Mapping ecosystems services at different scales taking into account all natural heritage (biological and geological heritage) [18,19], making special emphasis in mapping cultural ecosystem services [20,21]; 3) Analyzing social preferences (demand) and users' perceptions through participatory processes [22,23,24]; and 4) Developing future scenarios, both qualitative (participatory) [25] and quantitative (modelling) [26,27]. These research lines are interconnected.…”

Abstract:To sustain cultural ecosystem services and cultural heritage it is important to go in depth in the science policy interface, because efficient governance mechanisms emerge from the cooperation of scientists and practitioners. In the Basque Country, we are on the road towards adaptive and resilient landscape management through an integrative approach that enhances the link between science, policy-making and society. Key elements of this approach are: The establishment from the outset of a transdisciplinar community of practice; the creation of specific transdisciplinar working groups to go in depth with concrete applicability measures; a strong outreach strategy and educational programs development; and last but not least, the involvement of stakeholders at multiple stage of the process. Diverse research lines are carried out during the process (e.g. mapping ecosystems services, analyzing social perceptions), whose results are combined to help identify response options for sustainable landscape. Relevant policy implementations of the results of this broad research are already taking place in the Basque Country. The proved utility of this working mechanism makes key agents to continue involved, and to attract more agents into the process. These transdisciplinary processes facilitate the creation of synergies and win-win solutions towards sustainable management of cultural ecosystem services.

“…Following Peña et al [52], we considered two components for mapping recreation supply: the recreation potential and accessibility. The recreation potential was mapped taking into account five territorial features associated with aesthetic attractiveness for recreational activities: (1) the degree of naturalness; (2) the presence of natural protected areas; (3) the presence of water bodies; (4) the presence of sites of geological interest (SGI); and (5) the presence of mountain summits.…”

“…In general, the presence of water bodies and/or landmarks in the environmental unit [57,59,60], a higher diversity of landscapes, and a higher difference in relief [61][62][63][64] were related to a higher aesthetic value [65]; however, the influence of negative elements in the landscapes as wind farms, actives quarries, landfills, roads, and railroads were related to a lower aesthetic value. The social perception was calculated using the visual survey method described in Peña et al [52]. For assessing the type of relief and the diversity of landscape, we used viewshed as a quantification unit.…”

The contributions of green infrastructure (GI) to human well-being have been widely recognised; however, pathways for its systematic implementation are missing. Local governments can play a crucial role in the conservation of GI, and a formal recognition of this role in budgeting systems would foster the inclusion of GI in their agenda. The aim of this study is to identify the principal components of GI at the local level to form a basis for a compensatory economic scheme. We identified the principal components of GI based on the mapping of biodiversity conservation and ecosystem services provision. Furthermore, we analysed the potentiality of an incentive mechanism to promote GI based on the protection status of GI. Finally, an incentive mechanism to promote GI at the municipality level was proposed. The results showed that the GI of Biscay is mainly composed of the natural forests presented in the area, and that 50% of the principal components of the GI are not protected. Furthermore, one third of the protected principal components of the GI only has protection at the municipality level. So, we propose a Payment for Ecosystem Services (PES)-like scheme at the municipality level based on the cover of natural forests, where the objective is the conservation and promotion of the GI.

Cultural ecosystem services and decision‐making: How researchers describe the applications of their work

Cultural ecosystem services (CES) are some of the most difficult ecosystem services (ES) to characterize and connect to specific ecosystem processes. Given their connections to human emotion, deep meaning, fulfilment and motivation, they are also crucial for human well‐being. Scholars have published hundreds of peer‐reviewed articles addressing CES in myriad ways. In this systematic review, we analyse 232 peer‐reviewed articles on CES and examine how these studies discuss the interaction between CES research and decision‐making. We describe the primary ways that scholars have addressed the relationship between CES and decision‐making, and we characterize each study with respect to how thoroughly its authors attend to the possible applications of their results. We find that 27% of papers discuss connections to decision‐making in general terms, 28% discuss specific connections to decision‐making, and the remainder mention decision‐making links briefly or not at all. We also discuss patterns based on the particular CES studied (e.g. recreation, identity); methods used; change through time; and geographical location of authors and of study sites. We end with reflections on the current state of the interface between CES (and related concepts for approaching the non‐material values associated with ecosystems) and decision‐making, and we discuss future steps to increase connections between CES and decision‐making.
