摘要：While previous socio-ecological systems research has shown relationships between localknowledge and the assignment of landscape values, the relationships between value assignment and more nuanced forms of local knowledge remain less understood. This study makesuse of public participation geographic information systems (PPGIS), a method for identifyingand mapping landscape attributes important to local communities. We use this method toassess the spatial associations between three landscape attributes often overlooked in thePPGIS literature: landscape values, self-reported knowledge about different types of landscape management practices and land-use types. We analyzed responses from residents ofMjölby kommun, Sweden (n = 301) using Monte Carlo simulations and density-based clustering. Overall, we found stronger spatial associations between landscape values and land-usetypes compared with landscape values and self-reported knowledge about landscape management. For example, significant positive associations were found between aesthetic andrecreation values and certain land-use types, but there was no association between thesevalues and self-reported knowledge. The land-use type to which a landscape value isassigned is sometimes supported by self-reported knowledge (especially for underrepresented landscape values), while self-reported knowledge did not provide a conclusive patternabout value assignment on its own. We discuss the implications of using PPGIS in integratedlandscape management for building multifunctionality in landscape management by addressing the values of different land-use stakeholders, and the potential benefits of increasedinclusivity in forms of local knowledge.
