The role of cultural ecosystem services (CES) is vital to consider when developing ecological sustainable development policies that can improve the well-being of humans. Research on CES has increased in recent years; however, few studies have explored the complex mechanisms driving perceptions of CES and the factors influencing those perceptions. In areas with unique landforms and fragile ecological environments, this type of research is difficult and rare. To address this research gap, this focuses on a typical karst area Guilin Xingping in China, evaluating residents' perceptions of local CES, and applying qualitative comparative analysis (QCA) to explore the driving mechanism behind those perceptions. We found that the satisfaction of material needs is a prerequisite and basis for further improving residents' spiritual perceptions and pursuits. Residents' socio-economic level, understanding of resource importance, and economic value determine whether residents can fully perceive the value of CES. Optimizing the ability of managers, improving relevant systems, and improving the experience with and understanding of ecosystems have a more than 50% probability of improving perceptions related to CES. The research shows that the combination of multiple antecedents can achieve a high level of perceptions related to CES. Managers can refer to the best path for policy regulation based on the actual situation. Finally, this study provides a new policy scheme for promoting ecological sustainable development and improving residents' well-being, and can provide insights to inform the sustainable development of other karst areas.
当制定能够提高人类福祉的生态可持续发展政策时，考虑文化生态系统服务（CES）的作用至关重要。近年来，关于 CES 的研究有所增加；然而，很少有研究探讨驱动 CES 感知的复杂机制以及影响这些感知的因素。在地貌独特、生态环境脆弱的地区，这类研究既困难又罕见。为了解决这一研究差距，本研究以中国典型的喀斯特地区桂林兴坪为例，评估了当地居民对 CES 的感知，并应用定性比较分析（QCA）来探讨这些感知背后的驱动机制。我们发现，物质需求的满足是进一步提高居民精神感知和追求的前提和基础。居民的社会经济水平、对资源重要性的认识以及经济价值决定了居民是否能够充分感知 CES 的价值。优化管理者的能力、完善相关制度、提高对生态系统的体验和理解，有超过 50%的概率可以提高与 CES 相关的感知。研究表明，多个前因的结合可以实现与 CES 相关的高水平感知。管理者可以根据实际情况参考最佳的政策调节路径。最后，本研究为促进生态可持续发展和提高居民福祉提供了一个新的政策方案，并为其他喀斯特地区的可持续发展提供了参考。
