保护组织越来越多地转向景观方法，以实现保护和发展目标之间的平衡。我们使用非洲和亚洲的六个案例研究来探讨利益相关者参与式建模的作用，作为实施景观方法的步骤之一。该模型受到了一些利益相关者的热烈欢迎，并在某些情况下产生了影响。不同的利益相关者对建模工作的评价不同。值得注意的是差异
与政策过程相关的利益相关者与科学家之间；前者在建模活动中的存在是实现政策影响的关键，而后者对于参与式建模至关重要。该模型的重要方面包括激发跨部门战略思维，帮助参与者面对变革的真正驱动因素并认识到权衡。人们普遍认为该建模成功地建立了对问题的共同理解。这种理解主要是在模型构建过程中的讨论中获得的，而不是在模型输出中获得的。的
模型本身仅反映了最终确定之前通常进行的丰富讨论的一些主要元素。当模型变得过于复杂时，问题就出现了。参与式建模的主要经验教训是需要良好的促进，以保持“模型作为故事”和技术建模之间的平衡，以及邀请适当的利益相关者产生影响的重要性。
Conservation organizations are increasingly turning to landscape approaches to achieve a balance between conservation and development goals. We use six case studies in Africa and Asia to explore the role of participatory modeling with stakeholders as one of the steps towards implementing a landscape approach. The modeling was enthusiastically embraced by some stakeholders and led to impact in some cases. Different stakeholders valued the modeling exercise differently. Noteworthy was the difference
between those stakeholders connected to the policy process and scientists; the presence of the former in the modeling activities is key to achieving policy impacts, and the latter were most critical of participatory modeling. Valued aspects of the modeling included stimulating cross-sector strategic thinking, and helping participants to confront the real drivers of change and to recognize trade-offs. The modeling was generally considered to be successful in building shared understanding of issues. This understanding was gained mainly in the discussions held in the process of building the model rather than in the model outputs. The
model itself reflects but a few of the main elements of the usually rich discussions that preceded its finalization. Problems emerged when models became too complex. Key lessons for participatory modeling are the need for good facilitation in order to maintain a balance between “models as stories” and technical modeling, and the importance of inviting the appropriate stakeholders to achieve impact.
