Understanding individual risk perceptions and preferences for climate change adaptations in biological conservation
Governance structures for ecosystem-based adaptation: Using policy-network analysis to identify key organizations for bridging information across scales and policy areas
Comparing public rationales for justice trade-offs in mitigation and adaptation climate policy dilemmas
Are new industry policies precautionary? The case of salmon aquaculture siting policy in British Columbia
Fostering resilience to extreme events within infrastructure systems: Characterizing decision contexts for mitigation and adaptation
A value-based framework for risk management decisions involving multiple scales: A salmon aquaculture example
Expert Judgments Regarding Risks Associated with Salmon Aquaculture Practices in British Columbia
Making sound decisions about managing ecological risks necessarily involves relying on judgments by technical specialists informed by the best available scientific evidence. Yet, organizing those judgments in ways to assess the relative risks of different components of a technology, and considering priorities in managing those risks, is a difficult and under‐explored aspect of environmental management. In this study, we elicited the judgments of …
Some Pitfalls of an Overemphasis on Science in Environmental Risk Management Decisions
This paper addresses the question whether calls for “more” and “better” science will have the intended effect of improving the quality of decisions about environmental risks. There are reasons to be skeptical: key judgment tasks that fundamentally shape many aspects of decisions about environmental risk management lie outside the domain of science. These tasks include making value judgments explicit, integrating facts and values to create innovat…
Listening to the Salmon People: Coastal First Nations' Objectives Regarding Salmon Aquaculture in British Columbia
The growth of salmon aquaculture on British Columbia's Pacific Coast is a source of substantial public controversy. Coastal indigenous people (First Nations), who have derived their culture and livelihood from wild salmon fisheries for thousands of years, have much at stake regarding salmon farm development in their traditional territories. This article considers the values of First Nations people regarding salmon aquaculture. It uses value-focus…
Resource compensation and negotiation support in an aboriginal context: Using community-based multi-attribute analysis to evaluate non-market losses
Multiple scales and regulatory gaps in environmental change: The case of salmon aquaculture
The ecological footprint: A non-monetary metric of human consumption applied to North America
Creating and using objectives for ecological risk assessment and management
Perceptions of ecological risk from natural hazards
This study examines lay perceptions of ecological risk (risk to the health and productivity of natural environments) associated with natural hazards. Ratings of 30 specific characteristics influencing risk judgments and one general risk assessment were obtained from 68 survey respondents for five natural hazards, as well as 28 technologically based hazards. Analyses revealed that the set of natural hazards, on average, were perceived to pose a mo…
Eliciting preferences for land use alternatives: A structured value referendum with approval voting
This article discusses an experimental application of the Structured Value Referendum (SVR) with approval voting. The decision context is selecting the best land use for an undeveloped area of publicly owned suburban land in Richmond, British Columbia. Subjects were a random sample of 200 registered voters, selected in a "mall-intercept" format. Subjects reviewed relevant information, completed a ballot, and then completed a survey about their sa…
Multiattribute elicitation of wilderness preservation benefits: A constructive approach
The structured value referendum: Eliciting preferences for environmental policy alternatives
This article introduces a voting-based method for eliciting public preferences, referred to as a structured value referendum (SVR). The process for developing and implementing an SVR is viewed as a version of public sector decision analysis, in which problem-structuring activities are crucial, and preference is elicited on a large scale by voters selecting among specified alternatives. The present study discusses the steps involved in developing …
A Framework for Structuring Cross-Cultural Research in Risk and Decision Making
The article develops a framework for structuring research activities in cross-cultural risk and decision making (CCRDM). It begins with a taxonomy that explores the influence of cultural characteristics on decision making under uncertainty at the individual, organizational, and governmental levels, and the relationships between these levels. Next, a brief synthesis is provided of previous work in three areas of individual decision making in cross…
