Stakeholder participation for environmental management

Authors: Reed  
[ Reed, M.S. 2008. Stakeholder participation for environmental management: a literature review. Biological Conservation, 141: 2417-2431. ] Reed provides a review of the extant literature on stakeholder engagement into the scientific study of SES, with a particular focus on the best methods of stakeholder participation. When stakeholder’s participation is emphasized as a process with a focus on empowerment, equity, trust and learning, he argues that this not only best engages the stakeholders, but also allows for integration of public and scientific knowledge to best understand complex SES.   [Edit this posting]

Who's in and why? Stakeholder analysis methods

Authors: Reed  
[ Reed et al. 2009. Who’s in and why? A typology of stakeholder analysis methods for natural resource management. J. of Environmental Management. 90: 1933-49. ] Reed et al. (2009) review the various extant methods of stakeholder analysis, concentrating on methods for identifying stakeholders, categorizing stakeholders and investigating the relationships between stakeholders. They then detail the limitations of all extant methods, and provide a framework to best perform stakeholder analysis, cautioning that the best stakeholder analysis method is often dependent on the aims and context of the research study at hand.   [Edit this posting]

Web-Based Environmental Simulation: Bridging the Gap between Scientific Modeling and Decision-Making

Authors: Buytaert, Baez, Bustamante, Dewulf  
[ Buytaert W. et al. 2012. Web-based environmental simulation: bridging the gap between scientific modeling and decision-making. Environ. Sci. Technol. 46: 1971-76. ] This article describes the shift from the traditional mode in which models and large datasets are housed in academic institutions and understood only by scientists to a new emerging mode in which data and models can be made interactive for local users through web-tools. It highlights the importance of: 1) working closely with local stakeholders, engaging them in the data collection and modeling process, and the benefits of sharing knowledge, 2) integrating physical and socio-economic data and models, and 3) metadata, data workflow, etc.   [Edit this posting]

Comparison of Frameworks for Analyzing Social-ecological Systems

Authors: Binder, Hinkel, Bots, Pahl-Wostl  
Binder et al. introduce a classification of the frameworks used in analysis of Socio-Ecological Systems (SES). They conclude that no single framework can be universally applied to all SES studies, and instead the best framework for a given study should be selected in light of its pros and cons, and the research concerns of the study at hand.   [Edit this posting]
