This paper presents an innovative approach for conducting collaborative scoping processes aiming to elicit multiple values of ecosystem services. The proposed methodology rests on three steps combining different participatory tools that promote a comprehensive examination of the perceptions hold by relevant stakeholder groups. The first step consists of an institutional and stakeholder analysis developed in the study area. The second includes a participatory workshop, where a sequence of scoping exercises is conducted with the active collaboration of the invited stakeholders. The final step aims to validate scoping results and develop dependency networks between organizations and the identified ecosystem services. The approach was tested in the Arrábida Natural Park, a marine and coastal protected area in Portugal. Invited participants were able to identify an extensive list of ecosystem services in the natural area, establish linkages between those services and human wellbeing, identify drivers of change and perform a preliminary screening of the associated ecological, social, and economic values. The case study evaluation provided positive feedback on the usefulness of the approach, which advances the existing set of methods for participatory identification of ecosystem services and sets the scene for involvement of stakeholder groups in assessment and management processes.
本文提出了一种创新方法，用于开展协作式范围界定过程，旨在引出生态系统服务的多种价值。所提出的方法基于三个步骤，结合了不同的参与式工具，以促进对相关利益攸关方群体所持观念进行全面审视。第一步包括在研究区域开展的机构和利益攸关方分析。第二步包括一个参与式研讨会，在受邀利益攸关方的积极协作下进行一系列范围界定活动。最后一步旨在验证范围界定结果，并建立组织与已确定的生态系统服务之间的依存关系网络。该方法在葡萄牙的一个海洋和沿海保护区——阿拉比达自然公园进行了测试。受邀参与者能够识别自然区域内广泛的生态系统服务清单，建立这些服务与人类福祉之间的联系，识别变化驱动因素，并对相关的生态、社会和经济价值进行初步筛选。案例研究评估对该方法的实用性给出了积极反馈，该方法改进了现有的参与式识别生态系统服务的方法集，并为利益攸关方群体参与评估和管理过程奠定了基础。
