Community stakeholders' knowledge in landscape assessments - Mapping indicators for landscape services

▸ Stakeholders can express multiple perceptions on the land through mapping landscape service indicators. ▸ Participatory mapping creates stakeholder knowledge of landscapes into spatial form. ▸ Participation in landscape service assessments is crucial for bottom-up management. ▸ It is also necessary in order to capture the non-utilitarian value of landscapes. ▸ We suggest that place-based local knowledge should be institutionalised in the planning.
