人类学家长期以来一直在考虑人们如何创造和感知商品和服务的价值。虽然将自然作为一种商品进行估价是保护的一种手段，但在当地引起共鸣的自然价值可能不符合市场逻辑。我们将生态系统服务价值评估（ESV）框架应用于四个主要的城市河流生态系统（澳大利亚，新西兰，美国和英国），以比较和对比价值（易于商品化和货币化的可转让商品）和价值（不可分割的商品和权利，难以比较和识别）。在访谈中，居住在河流附近的受访者（N = 283）描述了他们所经历的当地河流相关生态系统服务（ES）。对编码访谈数据的主题内容分析表明，所有四个地点的受访者都认识到与河流有关的当地环境服务，这与以价值为导向的环境服务价值框架产生了共鸣。虽然ESV框架为学者和政策制定者提供了一种方法，可以轻松地比较ES的货币价值，但我们的研究结果表明，河流具有当地赋予的价值，无法轻易商品化。特别是，我们的工作突出了无价的，不可剥夺的价值观被认为是整个ES赋予当地的重要性，而不仅仅限于文化服务。
Anthropologists have long considered how people create and perceive the value of goods and services. While valuation of nature as a commodity is one means of conservation, locally resonant values of nature may not follow market logic. We apply the ecosystem services valuation (ESV) framework to four major urban river ecosystems (Australia, New Zealand, United States, and United Kingdom) to compare and contrast value (the alienable goods that are readily commodified and monetized) and values (the inalienable goods and rights that defy easy comparability and recognition). In interviews, respondents (N = 283) living near the rivers described the local river‐associated ecosystem services (ES) they experienced. Thematic content analysis of coded interview data showed that respondents in all four sites recognize ES in their local areas related to rivers, and these resonate with the value‐oriented ESV frameworks. While the ESV framework offers a way for scholars and policymakers to easily compare the monetary value of ES, our results indicate that rivers have locally ascribed value that defies easy commodification. In particular, our work highlights the local importance of priceless, inalienable values perceived to be conferred across ES and not just restricted to cultural services.
