本文报道了澳大利亚南部两个地区农村土地利用的相对公众接受度的研究。来自塔斯马尼亚州和西澳大利亚州西南部的参与者完成了一份问卷调查，了解他们对农村地区10种传统和非传统土地利用方式的可接受性的看法（n=2167）。与会者对传统的农业土地使用（种植、放牧、园艺、奶制品）、非传统的“绿色”土地使用（风力农场和重新植被）、种植园和农村住宅开发作了明确的评价区分。对意见分布的分析表明，人们对传统农业和非传统“绿色”土地利用达成了强烈的积极共识，但对种植园和农村住宅开发的意见却多种多样，有时甚至相互冲突。调查结果澄清了研究区域内公众对土地利用的相对接受程度（无论是有争议的还是无争议的），并表明区分传统农业土地利用和非传统土地利用的土地利用政策与公众的看法是一致的。研究结果还表明，非传统的土地使用可能更容易接受在一些地区和一些社会群体比其他人，突出的意义，使当地的土地使用规划的优先事项。
This paper reports research undertaken to examine the relative public acceptance of rural land uses in two regions of southern Australia. Participants from Tasmania and southwest Western Australia completed a questionnaire about their views on the acceptability of ten traditional and nontraditional land uses in rural areas (n=2167). Participants made clear evaluative distinctions between traditional agricultural land uses (cropping, grazing, horticulture, dairy), non-traditional ‘green’ land uses (wind farms and revegetation), plantations and rural residential development. Analysis of distribution of views suggested strong positive consensus regarding traditional agricultural and nontraditional ‘green’ land uses, but diverse and sometimes conflicting views regarding plantations and rural residential development. The findings clarify the relative public acceptance of land uses – both controversial and non-controversial – within the study areas, and suggest land use policies that distinguish between traditional agricultural land uses and non-traditional land uses are consistent with public perceptions. The findings also demonstrate that non-traditional land uses may be more acceptable in some regions and among some social groups than others, highlighting the significance of enabling local land use planning priorities.
