Evaluating Participatory Frameworks for Enhancing Stakeholder Inclusivity in Environmental Ecosystem Scenario Projects
This study introduces a participatory framework designed to improve stakeholder engagement and reflexivity in ecosystem scenario building. It proposes that this framework be tested and evaluated across ongoing transdisciplinary environmental projects.
In plain words
When researchers and the people affected work out possible futures for an ecosystem together, whose knowledge counts? This study would test, in ongoing real projects, a framework meant to bring in more voices and help people reflect on their role.
Primary research question
How does the application of a participatory framework influence the quality of stakeholder knowledge inclusivity in ecosystem scenario projects?
Knowledge gap
What remains worth asking
It remains useful to test the framework's effectiveness in diverse, real-world transdisciplinary settings to refine its adaptive design.
Potential contribution
Why it may matter
Improved participatory processes can lead to more robust and socially accepted environmental management strategies.
