本文展示了一个结构化的和协作的方法来决策的背景下，适应性管理实验，使用一个案例研究，涉及恢复在加拿大西部的一条受管制的河流的水文制度。它提供了一个基于决策分析原则的框架，用于构建困难的多属性决策，并建立实施这些决策所需的信任和技术能力。与会者包括生态学家和渔业生物学家、政府监管机构、电力公司员工和土著社区代表。案例研究表明，一个基于价值观的方法来实施适应性管理，解决了一些长期存在的困难，将适应性管理纳入恢复决策。它强调了将参与者有关学习、文化质量和管理的价值观纳入其中的实用方法，作为制定恢复举措决策和监测框架的一部分。它还提供了一个例子，说明如何在恢复的背景下执行有意义的协商原则，重点是确保所有的声音和关切都得到倾听和有意义地纳入。与会者已将该框架作为一种模式，用以指导今后涉及土著社区、监管机构和其他各方的协作决策进程。
This article demonstrates a structured and collaborative approach to decision-making in the context of adaptive management experiments, using a case study involving the restoration of a hydrological regime in a regulated river in western Canada. It provides a framework based on principles of decision analysis for structuring difficult multi-attribute decisions and building the trust and technical capacity needed to implement them. Participants included ecologists and fisheries biologists, government regulators, electric utility employees, and representatives of aboriginal communities. The case study demonstrates a values-based approach to implementing adaptive management that addresses some of the long-standing difficulties associated with integrating adaptive management into restoration decisions. It highlights practical methods for incorporating participants' values concerned with learning, cultural quality, and stewardship as part of developing a decision-making and monitoring framework for restoration initiatives. It also provides an example of how to implement principles of meaningful consultation in a restoration context, with emphasis on ensuring that all voices and concerns are heard and meaningfully incorporated. Participants have adopted the framework as a model to guide future collaborative decision-making processes involving Aboriginal communities, regulatory agencies, and other parties.
