摘要：The concept of ecosystem services has been extensively studied in recent decades. Moststudies have focused on describing the specific aspects such as production, spatial extent,valuation of services and the trade-off between services. Few studies however assess thepractitioners’ views on the frameworks, models or tools developed. In this paper, we reporton a multi-stakeholder workshop where two tools were tested (i) the ecosystem servicecascade framework was tested as a means to frame the issues and (ii) a participatory-spatialmodelling method, QUICKScan, was tested as an aid to support discussion over naturalresource management and planning in a multi-use landscape. A focused group discussionwas utilised to determine stakeholders’ views of the cascade framework and pre- and postworkshop questionnaires quantified the stakeholders’ views of the QUICKScan method. Thestakeholders identified both positive and negative aspects of both tools. The diversity ofviews expressed were associated with (i) the past experience of the individual with the issuesdiscussed, (ii) the technical aspects of the tools i.e. the ability with GIS and (iii) the level ofnew shared knowledge they reported acquiring on the day which was related to their initialknowledge of the issue and area studied.
