植树造林激励措施引起的快速土地利用变化在以前由农业企业主导的农村社区造成了紧张局势。本文以澳大利亚新南威尔士州东北部上克拉伦斯流域的人工林为例，报道了一项社会学习的创新实验，该实验结合了参与式模型来解决社区关注的问题。制订诊断框架有助于确定社区内的社会经济和环境问题，供代表不同意见的自选参与性咨询委员会进行调查。推行一项社会学习活动，可让委员会成员有同理心和理性参与，从而维持兴趣、建立信心和提高解决问题的能力，同时培养集体决策的主人翁精神。对动态景观问题的共同理解有助于使参与者能够协作开发改进管理和运营实践的解决方案，并根据本文提出的现有政策指导方针合作探索种植业发展的进一步选择。由于不同利益攸关方在相互尊重的学习环境中进行了坦率的讨论，将当地、科学和专家知识结合在一起，消除了担忧，与会者对种植园林业活动产生了更有利的看法。
Rapid land-use change arising from incentives for afforestation has created tensions in rural communities previously dominated by agricultural enterprises. This paper reports on an innovative experiment with social learning that incorporated participatory modelling to resolve community concerns in a case study of plantation forestry in the Upper Clarence catchment of north-eastern NSW Australia. The development of a diagnostic framework helped identify socioeconomic and environmental issues within the community for investigation by a self-selected participatory advisory committee (PAC) representing a diversity of views. Implementation of a social learning exercise offered empathetic and intellectual engagement among PAC members that maintained interest, built confidence, and improved problem-solving capacity while fostering group ownership over decision making. A shared understanding of dynamic landscape problems helped empower participants to collaboratively develop solutions for improved management and operational practices, and cooperate to explore further options for plantation industry development under existing policy guidelines which are presented in this paper. As a result of frank discussions between diverse stakeholders in a mutually respectful learning environment that combined local, scientific and expert knowledge, concerns dissipated and participants developed a more favourable view of plantation forestry activity.
