参与式情景规划（PSP）是基于地点的环境研究中越来越受欢迎的工具，用于评估社会生态系统的未来选择。虽然在科学文献和灰色文献中有一系列关于PSP方法的指导方针，但有必要反思现有的做法及其在当地不同目标和背景下的适当应用，以及它们可能产生的预期结果。我们通过分析研究人员如何以及为什么使用基于地点的PSP来评估社会生态系统，从而促进未来适当采用此类情景工具，从而为理论和经验框架做出贡献。本文从7个方面分析了作者在广泛的社会生态背景下进行的23个PSP案例研究：(1)背景；（二）最初的动机和目标；(3)方法论；(4)工艺；(5)场景的内容；（六）研究成果；(7) PSP过程的监测和评价。本文还对利用PSP进行基于地的社会生态研究的优缺点进行了反思。我们的结论是，PSP的应用，特别是针对当地居民和研究人员之间的共同目标量身定制的应用，通过建立共识和促进对未来社会生态系统规划的学习，丰富了环境管理和科学研究。然而，PSP仍然需要更大的系统监测和评价，以评估其对促进向可持续性过渡的集体行动和适应全球环境变化及其挑战的影响。
Participatory scenario planning (PSP) is an increasingly popular tool in place-based environmental research for evaluating alternative futures of social-ecological systems. Although a range of guidelines on PSP methods are available in the scientific and grey literature, there is a need to reflect on existing practices and their appropriate application for different objectives and contexts at the local scale, as well as on their potential perceived outcomes. We contribute to theoretical and empirical frameworks by analyzing how and why researchers assess social-ecological systems using place-based PSP, hence facilitating the appropriate uptake of such scenario tools in the future. We analyzed 23 PSP case studies conducted by the authors in a wide range of social-ecological settings by exploring seven aspects: (1) the context; (2) the original motivations and objectives; (3) the methodological approach; (4) the process; (5) the content of the scenarios; (6) the outputs of the research; and (7) the monitoring and evaluation of the PSP process. This was complemented by a reflection on strengths and weaknesses of using PSP for the place-based social-ecological research. We conclude that the application of PSP, particularly when tailored to shared objectives between local people and researchers, has enriched environmental management and scientific research through building common understanding and fostering learning about future planning of social-ecological systems. However, PSP still requires greater systematic monitoring and evaluation to assess its impact on the promotion of collective action for transitions to sustainability and the adaptation to global environmental change and its challenges.
