Participatory multi-criteria decision aid: Operationalizing an integrated assessment of ecosystem services

Ongoing ecosystem alterations underscore the need for ecosystem service assessment to urgently enterpolicy-making. Participatory methods and a systematic inclusion of stakeholders are crucial yet underde-veloped cornerstones of environmental decision making. This study aims at conducting a transpare...

This study aims at conducting a transparent andlegitimized integrated assessment of ecosystem services that rigorously involves stakeholder knowledgeand values in environmental decision making. To this end, participatory multi-criteria decision aid wasapplied to the case of declining vineyard ecosystems surrounding the National Park of Doñana insouth-west Spain. Data was gained by means of a survey (n = 178), interviews (n = 21), and three stake-holder workshops (each with 15–21 participants). We found that stakeholder engagement improved allsteps of decision making, including problem structuring, policy evaluation, and operationalization.
