Context
• The importance and benefits of involving stakeholders in decision making are increasingly recognized
• Stakeholder participation should take place as early as possible and throughout the decision making process
![Page 4: Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugalconference.ifas.ufl.edu/aces14/presentations/Dec 11... · Participatory selection of ecosystem services Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060907/60a1b44eb636dd2f230c11c6/html5/thumbnails/4.jpg)
• It is still difficult to comprehensively assess a large suite of ES a selection of a narrower set of ES, on which to focus in a given assessment, is usually done
• Selection of ES is often done based on data availability, abundance of studies covering similar ES or on the state of development of existing tools

Documented and tested procedures to select ecosystem services, namely through participatory
processes are scarce
Why is this important?

• The value of an ES is not only dependent on ecosystem structures, functions and processes but also on human preferences, cultural factors, institutions and other societal features
• It helps increasing the usefulness of ES assessments to stakeholders and policy processes, therefore increasing its impact on society

Goal
To explore a participatory approach for ES selection
This approach is designed to incorporate the views of different kinds of stakeholders in a
planning context

Results
Focus group
• All effects considered positive not surprising given regional spatial plan’s contents
• It could be possible to identify potential trade-offs between ES, associated with planning objectives. In this case it is possible to identify planning objectives that will have synergistic (positive) effects on ES
• Some effects are actually more related with services provided by human systems than by natural systems (e.g. eliminate non-classical houses positive effect on disease control and aesthetic value

• Clearly converged on the services of superficial and ground water for drinking, followed by mediation of liquid flows (hydrological cycle and water flow maintenance was actually the only item to get votes from all stakeholder groups coherent with previous results)

Discussion
• Possible to identify priority ES for spatial planning, according to the views and opinions of a group of different types of stakeholders
• Identification of priority ES can be useful for: – spatial planning processes, usually faced with scarce resources and
with the need to prioritize issues for decision making
– Scoping process in SEA
– Initial/rapid ES assessment
This might not be the goal for other processes, it is dependent on the scope and goals of a given process or initiative
![Page 26: Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugalconference.ifas.ufl.edu/aces14/presentations/Dec 11... · Participatory selection of ecosystem services Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060907/60a1b44eb636dd2f230c11c6/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
• Use of CICES table
– Advantages: allows flexibility stakeholders can refer to very specific ES (at class level) or to more general ES (ultimately at section level)
– Disadvantages: not very user-friendly (too technical) for the context of this research, the use of not so technical ES classification systems (e.g. MA) could have facilitated the participatory process
Discussion
![Page 27: Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan Area, Portugalconference.ifas.ufl.edu/aces14/presentations/Dec 11... · Participatory selection of ecosystem services Insights from Lisbon Metropolitan](https://reader033.vdocuments.us/reader033/viewer/2022060907/60a1b44eb636dd2f230c11c6/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)
• Results of the case study represent the views of a limited number of stakeholder groups (with particular features like high educational level)
• In a real planning process, a broader number of stakeholder groups should be represented stakeholder mapping will vary according to context, scope, goals and other aspects of a given planning process
Discussion

Further steps:
• Preliminary analysis of results focused on agreements, looking at disagreements can also be revealing and useful for the planning process
• Integrating results of participatory process with a structured analysis of the regional spatial plan and the biophysical features of the region
