人们很容易接受的是，理解社会环境挑战需要考虑到多个利益攸关方的观点和知识主张。但一个基本上被忽视的问题是，如何最好地分析这些相互竞争的观点和主张？'.本文探讨了一个基于GIS的方法的发展-并报告其应用-了解和映射利益相关者的知识。我们发现，Q-方法与参与式映射相结合，有助于克服社会参与中的一个重要问题：代表人们所说或所做的事情与他们的潜在态度，价值观或信仰之间的联系不明确。本文是基于苏格兰-英格兰边境地区的洪水管理和自然适应能力的反射性参与。该文件证实了这些主题如何能够受益于广泛的利益相关者的立场，以及基本信念告知这些立场的赞赏。最重要的是，我们提供了我们的方法，为其他有兴趣解开复杂的社会环境问题提供了一个模板。(C)2014爱思唯尔有限公司版权所有。
It is readily accepted that understanding socio-environmental challenges requires consideration of multiple stakeholder perspectives and knowledge claims. But a largely ignored question is 'how best to analyse those competing perspectives and claims?'. This paper explores the development of one GIS-based methodology - and reports on its application - to understand and map stakeholder knowledge. We find that combining Q-methodology with participatory mapping helps to overcome a significant problem in social engagement: representing the unclear connection between what people say or do and their underlying attitudes, values or beliefs. The paper is based on a reflexive engagement with flood management and natural adaptive capacity in the Scottish-English Borderlands. The paper confirms how such topics can benefit from an appreciation of the wide range of stakeholders' positions, as well as the underlying beliefs informing those positions. Most importantly, we provide an account of our methodology, offering a template for others interested in unpacking complex socio-environmental issues. (C) 2014 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
