Branching Beyond

“分支”项目评估了城市树篱的社会和文化价值，将基于IPBES价值评估（2022）的最先进的价值框架与一种新的跨学科方法联系起来，该方法整合了讲故事、地图、公民和利益相关者审议以及公民科学。“分支之外”计划将“分支之外”的框架、方法和结果打包成一个用户友好的在线价值观移植模板，针对的是当地政府规划者、树木官员、志愿组织和社区团体。Branch Beyond最初收集了三个分支案例城市（米尔顿凯恩斯、卡迪夫和约克）的结果，将开发一种快速评估方法，将这些结果“横向移植”到两个复制城市：爱丁堡和卡姆登（伦敦）。横向可移植性是从关系价值领域出现的一个高度创新的概念，它提供了一种替代概括（在定量研究中常见）和利益转移（在环境经济评估中常见）的方法，可以从定性、审议和混合方法方法中移植和调整与政策相关的研究结果，而不会损害定性数据的情境化和基于地点的性质。我们将通过包装之前通过讲故事、绘制地图和审议确定的树逃特征与社会和文化价值之间的定性联系，并通过快速参与式移植评估验证和改进移植结果，来实现这一目标。最后，“超越分支”将与其地方当局伙伴和地方政府协会合作，为更多地方当局、地方第三部门和社区团体提供移植模板和流程方面的培训和传播。

The Branching Out project has assessed social and cultural values of urban treescapes, linking a state-of-the-art values framework based on the IPBES Values Assessment (2022) to a novel transdisciplinary methodology integrating storytelling, mapping, citizen and stakeholder deliberation, and citizen science. Branching Beyond intends to package up the Branching Out framework, approach, and results in a user friendly online values porting template aimed at local government planners, tree officers, voluntary organisations and community groups. Initially compiling results from the three Branching Out case cities (Milton Keynes, Cardiff and York), Branch Beyond will develop a rapid assessment approach to 'horizontally port' these results to two replicator cities: Edinburgh and Camden (London). Horizontal portability is a highly innovative concept emerging from the field of relational values that presents an alternative to generalisation (common in quantitative research) and benefits transfer (common in environmental economic valuation) to port and adapt policy relevant research results from qualitative, deliberative and mixed method approaches, without compromising the contextualised and place-based nature of qualitative data. We will achieve this by packaging up the qualitative associations between treescape characteristics and social and cultural values previously identified through storytelling, mapping, and deliberation, and validating and refining ported results through a rapid participatory porting assessment. Finally, Branching Beyond will work with its local authority partners and the Local Government Association to develop training in and disseminate the porting template and process to further local authorities and local third sector and community groups.
