    • Assessing local acceptance of protected area management using public participation GIS (PPGIS) 

      Engen, Sigrid; Runge, Claire Alice; Brown, Greg; Fauchald, Per; Nilsen, Lennart; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2017-12-14)
      Protected area management can be highly contentious. Information about the acceptability of conservation actions can help environmental authorities design policies that are accepted locally, and identify potential areas of conflict between land users and conservation objectives. In this study, we implemented a spatially-explicit method for eliciting public preferences for land use and conservation ...

    • Cross-cultural values and management preferences in protected areas of Norway and Poland 

      Brown, Greg; Hausner, Vera Helene; Grodzińska-Jurczak, Malgorzata; Pietrzyk-Kaszyńska, Agata; Olszańska, Agnieszka; Peek, Barbara; Rechciński, Marcin; Lægreid, Eiliv Jenssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-09-25)
      Protected areas provide important ecosystem services globally but few studies have examined how cultural differences influence the distribution of cultural ecosystem values and management preferences. We used internet-based public participation GIS (PPGIS) in the countries of Norway and Poland to identify ecosystem values and management preferences in protected areas held by regional residents and ...

    • Development and evaluation of internet-based PPGIS 

      Hausner, Vera Helene; Lægreid, Eiliv Jenssen; Pietrzyk-Kaszyńska, Agata; Olszańska, Agnieszka; Grodzińska-Jurczak, Malgorzata; Brown, Greg (Research report; Forskningsrapport, 2014-10-15)

    • Effects of land tenure and protected areas on ecosystem services and land use preferences in Norway 

      Hausner, Vera Helene; Brown, Greg; Lægreid, Eiliv Jenssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-08)
      Prior research has examined the relationship between physical landscapes and ecosystem services, but the distribution of ecosystem services by land tenure and protected areas is less developed. We analyze the spatial distribution of participatory mapped ecosystem values, as indicators of ecosystem services, to determine their relationship with land tenure in southern Norway, a region characterized ...

    • An empirical analysis of cultural ecosystem values in coastal landscapes 

      Brown, Greg; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel, 2017)
      Coastal areas are especially important to human well-being with half the world's population living within 60 km of the sea and three-quarters of all large cities located in the coastal zone. Supporting and regulatory ecosystem services in coastal areas have received considerable research attention given human vulnerability to climate change, but cultural ecosystem services in the coastal zone are ...

    • An empirical evaluation of spatial value transfer methods for identifying cultural ecosystem services 

      Brown, Greg; Pullar, David; Hausner, Vera Helene (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2016-04-09)
      A significant barrier to the assessment of ecosystem services is a lack of primary data, especially for cultural ecosystem services. Spatial value transfer, also known as benefits transfer, is a method to identify the probable locations of ecosystem services based on empirical spatial associations found in other geographic locations. To date, there has been no systematic evaluation of spatial value ...

    • Identifying spatial overlap in the values of locals, domestic- and international tourists to protected areas 

      Muñoz, Lorena; Hausner, Vera Helene; Brown, Greg; Runge, Claire Alice; Fauchald, Per (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2018-10-22)
      Nature-based tourism is increasingly encouraged to support local socioeconomic development in and around protected areas, but managing protected areas for tourism could challenge existing park uses associated with self-organized outdoor recreation and local resource use. We used a web-based Public Participatory Geographic Information System (PPGIS) to identify the most important places and values ...

    • Physical landscape associations with mapped ecosystem values with implications for spatial value transfer: An empirical study from Norway 

      Brown, Greg; Hausner, Vera Helene; Lægreid, Eiliv Jenssen (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2015-07-31)
      The identification of spatial associations between perceived ecosystem values and physical landscapes is confronted by a diversity of mapping methods, heterogeneous human populations, and variability in physical landscape classification systems. This study reviews previous research on spatial associations and reports new empirical findings from Norway to describe the potential for spatial “value ...

    • Using crowdsourced spatial data from Flickr vs. PPGIS for understanding nature's contribution to people in Southern Norway 

      Munoz, Lorena; Hausner, Vera Helene; Runge, Claire Alice; Brown, Greg; Daigle, Remi (Journal article; Tidsskriftartikkel; Peer reviewed, 2020-04-20)
      <ol> <li>Crowdsourced data can provide spatially explicit data on the contribution of nature to people. Spatial information is essential for effectively managing the diverse relationships that people have with nature, but the potential and limits of using crowdsourcing data to generate maps for conservation purposes need further research. </li><p> <p><li>Passive crowdsourcing tools include social ...
