Learning from Doing Participatory Rural Research: Lessons from the Peak District National Park
基于英国峰区国家公园的案例，提出并应用了一个结合利益相关者参与和适应性学习的农村变化研究框架，展示了如何整合不同知识来预测环境与经济变化，对土地管理者和政策制定者具有参考价值。
Abstract Understanding the socio‐economic and environmental implications of rural change requires the active participation of many research disciplines and stakeholders. However, it remains unclear how to best integrate participatory and biophysical research to provide information useful to land managers and policy makers. This paper presents findings of a RELU scoping study that has formulated and applied a research framework based on stakeholder participation and adaptive learning to model rural change in the Peak District National Park in the north of England. The paper describes a learning process that integrates different types of knowledge to produce future scenarios that describe possible economic and environmental changes due to a national review of burning practices on heather moorland and blanket bogs. We stress the need for using social network analysis to structure stakeholder engagement and outline how a range of participatory approaches can facilitate more inclusive environmental planning and policy development.
