在环境评估中，尽管人们普遍认为方法的选择会严重影响结果，但对现有评估方法如何实际得出不同的价值却知之甚少。通过评估自然价值评估的实际应用，本研究追踪了11种价值类型的21种价值评估方法的适用性，并评估了其操作化的方法学要求。我们发现不同的估值方法具有不同的适用性，可以得出不同的价值类型。有些方法比其他方法更专业，但每种方法都有盲点，这意味着有偏见的决策风险。我们根据非中心价值、关系价值和工具价值三个维度总结了不同的价值类型。没有一种单一的估值方法能够捕捉到自然界的全部价值。涵盖所有价值维度需要仔细选择互补的估值方法。这项研究还表明，进行这种综合估值不一定需要更多的资源，因为对于每个价值层面，都有低至中等业务要求的方法。通过这项研究，我们的目标是提供指导，选择一套互补的估值方法，以发展综合估值在实践中，包括所有利益相关者的价值到环境决策。(C)2017爱思唯尔B.V.保留所有权利。
In environmental valuation, although it is well recognised that the choice of method heavily affects the outcome, little is known on how existing valuation methods actually elicit the different values. Through the assessment of real-life applications of valuation of nature, this study tracks down the suitability of 21 valuation methods for 11 value types and assesses the methodological requirements for their operationalization. We found that different valuation methods have different suitabilities to elicit diverse value-types. Some methods are more specialized than others, but every method has blind spots, which implies risks of biased decision-making. We summarized different value-types according to three value dimensions: non-anthropocentric, relational and instrumental. No single valuation method is able to capture this full spectrum of values of nature. Covering all value dimensions requires careful selection of complementary valuation methods. This study also demonstrates that performing such an integrated valuation does not necessarily entail more resources, as for every value dimension, methods with low to medium operational requirements are available. With this study, we aim to provide guidance for selecting a complementary set of valuation methods in order to develop integrated valuation in practice that includes values of all stakeholders into environmental decision-making.
