OBJECTIVE:
To analyse the social processes relevant to environmental valuation.
DESCRIPTION:
Through four empirical studies, the project will seek to design and demonstrate effective procedures for eliciting environmental valuation statements for conservation and sustainability policy, and to resolve the ensuing conflicts, with lessons drawn from policy making generally. The project consists of four phases.
i) The translation of general principles for effective environmental valuation procedures established from previous empirical and theoretical research and discussion, into a range of working hypotheses about key physical, institutional, and ethical factors in the social construction of environmental values.
ii) The establishment of detailed research design and valuation practices for the specific features of each case study:
a) France: Social, ecological and economic valuation of forest pockets within farmland;
b) Spain: Irreversibilities in water quality and quantity management;
c) Italy: Multiple criteria decision support analysis for water resources in Sicily;
d) United Kingdom: Motorway and waste disposal encroachments on "natural" habitats.
Each case-study has the following components: preliminary scoping analysis; detailed field research methodology and design; interviews with key social actors and people in the interested communities; the elaboration of a procedure which brings these social actors' views and preferences into environmental decision making.
iii) The translation of case study experience to environmental policy and public expenditure programme design.
iv) The results will be communicated to policy makers, researchers, and the interested public through workshops and symposia and a set of supporting documents.
