Good natural resource management is scarce in many remote tropical regions. Improved management requires better local consultation, but accessing and understanding the preferences and concerns of stakeholders can be difficult. Scoring, where items are numerically rated in relation to each other, is simple and seems applicable even in situations where capacity and funds are limited, but managers rarely use such methods. Here we investigate scoring with seven indigenous communities threatened by forest loss in Kalimantan, Indonesia. We aimed to clarify the forest's multifaceted importance, using replication, cross-check exercises, and interviews. Results are sometimes surprising, but generally explained by additional investigation that sometimes provides new insights. The consistency of scoring results increases in line with community literacy and wealth. Various benefits and pitfalls are identified and examined. Aside from revealing and clarifying local preferences, scoring has unexplored potential as a quantitative technique. Scoring is an underappreciated management tool with wide potential.
在许多偏远的热带地区，良好的自然资源管理十分匮乏。改善管理需要更好地与当地进行协商，但了解和理解利益相关者的偏好与关切可能并非易事。评分法，即根据各项指标相互进行数字评级，操作简单，即便在能力和资金有限的情况下似乎也适用，但管理者很少使用这种方法。在此，我们对印度尼西亚加里曼丹岛七个面临森林流失威胁的原住民社区进行评分法调查。我们旨在通过重复、交叉核对以及访谈，阐明森林多方面的重要性。结果有时令人惊讶，但通常可通过进一步调查得到解释，而进一步调查有时会带来新的见解。评分结果的一致性随着社区文化水平和财富的提高而增加。我们识别并审视了各种益处和缺陷。除了揭示和阐明当地偏好外，评分法作为一种定量技术还有未被发掘的潜力。评分法是一种未得到充分重视但潜力巨大的管理工具。
