利益攸关方对支持环境管理中基于成果的方法的工具的需求越来越大。要让这类工具发挥作用，了解用户需求是关键。在英国苏格兰，利益攸关方参与了环境决策支持系统的开发，以支持土地和淡水资源的管理，以实现多种政策成果。采用了有组织的参与性参与进程，以确定利益攸关方的要求，确立满足这些要求的发展原则，并进行路试。从这个自下而上的过程中产生的规范是，EDSS在空间上是明确的，在使用点是免费的，并且与移动设备兼容。这个应用程序正在开发中，与现有的大多数已发布的EDSS不太相似。我们认为，科学家通常将EDSS概念化的方式与可能对实地决策者有用的应用类型之间存在不匹配。交互式移动和基于Web的地理空间信息服务已经在我们的日常生活中变得无处不在，但它们的重要性并没有反映在EDSS的文献中。目前环境管理的重点是以成果为基础的适应性的、以利益攸关方为中心的战略，这为更好地利用这些新技术来协助决策进程提供了机会。
There is increasing demand from stakeholders for tools to support outcomes-based approaches in environmental management. For such tools to be useful, understanding user requirements is key. In Scotland, UK, stakeholders were engaged in the development of an Environmental Decision Support System (EDSS) to support the management of land and freshwater resources for multiple policy outcomes. A structured participatory engagement process was employed to determine stakeholder requirements, establish development principles to fulfil these requirements and road-test prototypes. The specification that emerged from this bottom-up process was for an EDSS to be spatially-explicit, free at the point of use, and mobile device compatible. This application, which is under development, does not closely resemble most existing published EDSS. We suggest that there is a mismatch between the way scientists typically conceptualise EDSS and the kinds of applications that are likely to be useful to decision-makers on the ground. Interactive mobile and web-based geospatial information services have become ubiquitous in our daily lives, but their importance is not reflected in the literature on EDSS. The current focus in environmental management on adaptive, stakeholder-centred strategies based on outcomes offers an opportunity to make better use of these new technologies to aid decision-making processes.
