Understanding the Value of Outdoor Culture and Heritage Capital for Decision Makers

该项目解决了如何对文化和遗产资本（CHC）进行稳健的社会成本效益分析（CBA）以及如何应用和调整CHC可持续管理的会计原则的实际问题。CHC和自然资本（NC）在英国的景观中相互交织。现有的方法来评估自然资本的环境经济学文献可能submissioned的价值CHC服务流，并可能损害政策效率的错误描述的权衡参与管理自然或CHC。该项目的基本目标是：1）开发CHC估值方法，以便在一系列资产中轻松应用; 2）将CHC和其他资产（如NC）生产和共同生产的资产和服务分开。主要产出将是从业人员的总体框架，有助于阐明价值并指导决策。该框架将为未来研究的数据和见解提供基础。我们的工作将为CHC决策制定方法和指南，并概述这些方法的可持续性规范标准。解决这些研究问题对于我们的合作伙伴改善CHC和NC的联合管理，实现公共利益，并确保对社会负责和以人为本的土地管理方法至关重要。我们将协调目前在CHC流量的现有账户中部署的方法与为自然资本（NC）开发和部署的方法（Bateman et al，2013;2016）。此外，我们还利用National Trust（NT）和Forestry England（FE）的基础设施和联系，设计和实施创新的实验性估值技术，用于分离价值，例如NC和CHC流量，以及物理与数字CHC资产。这将为CHC价值流的货币估算提供一个强大而新颖的扩展。认识到迫切需要这种方法来支持应对土地使用变化、发展、气候适应和其他驱动因素的日益增加的压力，这种方法将确保对实践产生直接影响，并随着工作的开展向政策制定者（DCMS，Defra及其公共机构）报告调查结果。支持部门理解和应用社区卫生服务的早期交付成果将包括发布介绍性指南、估值和会计方法指南以及监测和展示惠益流和变化的指标。为了支持全行业采用指标，并使CHC可见并集成到现有的决策支持工具中，将开发基线CHC的数据层并公开提供。随后的交付成果包括来自我们实验的新价值估计、基于CHC账户的说明性案例研究、技术指导以及通过会议、网络研讨会、从业人员简报和期刊出版物传播产出。

The project addresses the practical problems of how to undertake robust social cost benefit analysis (CBA) for Culture and heritage capital (CHC) and how to apply and adapt accounting principles for sustainable management of CHC. CHC and Natural capital (NC) are intermingled across the English landscape. Existing approaches for valuing natural capital from the environmental economics literature likely subsume the value of CHC service flows and may compromise policy efficiency by mischaracterizing trade-offs involved in managing natural or CHC. The underlying objective of the project is to 1) Develop CHC valuation methods to be readily applied across a range of assets, and 2) To disentangle assets and services produced and co-produced by CHC and other assets such as NC.The principal output will be an overarching framework for practitioners that will help articulate values and guide decision making. The framework will provide a basis that data and insights from future research can be added to. Our work will develop methodologies and guidance for CHC decision-making and outline the normative criteria for sustainability in terms of these methodologies. Addressing these research problems is essential to improving the joint management of CHC and NC by our partners, realising public benefit, and ensuring socially responsible and people-centred approaches to land management. We will reconcile methodologies currently deployed in existing accounts of CHC flows with those developed and deployed for natural capital (NC) (Bateman et al, 2013;2016). Further, we utilise the infrastructure and connections of National Trust (NT) and Forestry England (FE) to design and implement innovative experimental valuation techniques for separating values, for example for NC and CHC flows, and for physical verses digital CHC assets. This will provide a robust and novel expansion of monetary estimates for CHC value flows.In recognition of the urgent need for such approaches to support responses to increasing pressures for land use change, development, climate adaptation and other drivers this approach will ensure immediate impact on practice with findings reported to policy makers (DCMS, Defra and their public bodies) as the work unfolds. Early deliverables to support sector understanding and application of CHC will include publishing introductory guidance, valuation and accounting methodologies guidance and metrics for monitoring and demonstrating benefit flows and change. To support the sector wide adoption of metrics and enable CHC to be made visible and integrated into existing decision support tools, data layers for baseline CHC will be developed and made publicly available. Subsequent deliverables include new value estimates from our experiments, illustrative case study based CHC accounts, technical guidance, and the dissemination of outputs through conferences, webinars, briefing notes for practitioners and journal publications.
