Q方法提供了一种新的，定量的方法来揭示利益相关者的观点，并被用来评估社会接受的海洋保护区（MPA）的渔业和保护管理的目标使用德文郡和塞文地区，英国作为案例研究网站。参与者将一组陈述（n=42）归类为强迫选择频率分布，质心分析揭示了三个解释因素：（1）“支持保护”，其特征是认为保护应优先于商业和经济利益;（2）“支持渔业”，认为渔业是优先事项，并对管理措施和计划中的海洋保护区数量的不确定性表示担忧;以及（3）“双赢”，他们认为目前利用海洋保护区进行海洋管理的方法将使渔业和养护目标都得到满足。尽管存在一些意见分歧，但在所有三种论述中都确定了海洋保护区的社会可接受性，但由于利益攸关方被排除在海洋保护区实施和管理措施制定之外的连锁反应而受到限制。这导致他们被剥夺了公民权，而且他们的活动前途不明。研究结果表明，海洋保护区的社会可接受性是由有效和持续的利益相关者参与，透明度和诚实的成本和利益的指定和确定性，一旦网站到位的资源存在，其有效的管理。了解社会可接受性将指导适应性管理，增加MPA成功和实现全球目标的机会。(C)2015爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
Q methodology provides a novel, quantitative approach to reveal stakeholder perspectives and was used to assess social acceptance of Marine Protected Areas (MPAs) with fisheries and conservation management goals using the Devon & Severn region, UK as a case study site. Participants sorted a set of statements (n=42) into a forced-choice frequency distribution and centroid analysis revealed three factors for interpretation: (1) 'pro-conservation', characterised by views that conservation should be prioritised over commercial and economic interests; (2) 'pro-fisheries' who saw fishing as the priority and expressed concerns over the uncertainty of management measures and the number of planned MPAs; and (3) 'win-win' who felt that the current approach to marine management using MPAs would allow both fisheries and conservation goals to be met. Despite some differences in opinion, social acceptability of MPAs was identified across all three discourses, but was limited by the knock-on effects of the exclusion of stakeholders from the implementation of MPAs and the development of management measures. This resulted in disenfranchisement and uncertainty over the future of their activities. The results suggest that social acceptability of MPAs is generated by effective and ongoing stakeholder engagement, transparency and honesty relating to the costs and benefits of designations and a certainty that once sites are in place the resources exist for their effective management. Understanding social acceptability will guide adaptive management and increase the chances of MPA success and the meeting of global targets. (C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
