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)进行强有力的社会成本效益分析(CBA)以及如何应用和调整会计原则以实现文化和遗产资本的可持续管理的实际问题。CHC和自然资本(NC)交织在整个英国景观中。现有的从环境经济学文献中评估自然资本的方法可能包含了CHC服务流动的价值，并可能由于错误地描述了管理自然或CHC所涉及的权衡而损害政策效率。该项目的基本目标是：1)开发易于应用于一系列资产的CHC估值方法；2)将CHC和NC等其他资产生产和共同生产的资产和服务分开。主要产出将成为从业者的总体框架，有助于阐明价值和指导决策。该框架将提供一个基础，以便可以添加来自未来研究的数据和见解。我们的工作将为社区卫生委员会的决策制定方法和指南，并根据这些方法概述可持续性的规范性标准。解决这些研究问题对于改善我们的合作伙伴对CHC和NC的联合管理、实现公共利益以及确保以社会责任和以人为本的土地管理方式至关重要。我们将协调目前部署在CHC流量现有账户中的方法与为自然资本(NC)开发和部署的方法(贝特曼等人，2013；2016)。此外，我们利用国家信托(NT)和英格兰林业(FE)的基础设施和联系来设计和实施创新的实验性估值技术，以分离价值，例如NC和CHC流量，以及实物与数字CHC资产。认识到迫切需要这种方法来支持对土地利用变化、发展、气候适应和其他驱动因素日益增加的压力的反应，这种方法将确保在实践中产生立竿见影的效果，并随着工作的展开向政策制定者(DCMS、Defra及其公共机构)报告结果。支持部门理解和应用CHC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动和变化的指标。为支持全部门采用衡量标准，并使CHC可见并整合到现有决策支持工具中，将开发基线CHC的数据层并向公众提供。随后交付的成果包括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成果。

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.
