  1. Mapping landscape values for natural resources management planning Chris Raymond Land and Biodiversity Services Division, DWLBC

  2. Outline • What are landscape values? • Why map them? • How do you map them? • What do the results look like? • What are the implications for NRM planning?

  3. What are landscape values? • Attachment or emotional bond that people develop with place • Use value (places that provide tangible benefits) • Economic Value • Recreation Value • Non-use value (places that represent ideas) • Spiritual Value • Future Value

  4. Map Layer GIS Information **LANDSCAPE VALUES** Government assets Commercial activity Wildfire threat Salinity Threatened species Water quality Soil type Towns and suburbs Planning Study Index Reference

  5. Why map landscape values? • Lack of systematic methods for identifying and integrating community values into NRM • Values are linked to political acceptability of land-use decisions • Integral to Goal 3 of the State NRM Plan (Peoples and Communities) • 3.4.4 “Seek and value the knowledge, skills and expertise of local people, including Aboriginal landholders, in planning and on-ground delivery” • Identify place-specific priorities for NRM investment.

  6. How do you map landscape values? • Sample • Survey Instrument • Map • Landscape Values Typology • Survey Mail Out (Dillman TDM) • Data Entry • Results Analysis

  9. STUDY AREA Hotspot analysis of aesthetic value

  10. Hotspot analysis of spiritual value

  11. Hotspot analysis of tourism developmentpreferences

  13. Implications for NRM planning • Systematic and representative process • Transparent • Identify areas of values conflict and special management concern • Overlay with other land attributes for integrated resource management • Recognises the role of non-use values in resource decision making • Provides a baseline for monitoring and evaluation
