Testing the Biophilia Hypothesis Through the Human and Nature Scale on Four Continents
According to the biophilia hypothesis, humans have a fundamental tendency to affiliate with nature. If this hypothesis is true, large majorities of people should express a high level of nature-friendliness (a tendency to affiliate with nature), and this level should have low variability across cultures. We tested this proposition using the interculturally applicable Human and Nature (HaN) scale. We compare the outcomes from 12 previously publishe…
Wild’ horses in medieval and early modern landscapes of Europe
Historical mentions of herds of 'wild' horses in Europe are frequently taken unquestioningly as a reference for natural grazing in nature conservation. It is often assumed that such herds roamed the wilderness freely and functioned in a socially and ecologically unrestrained manner, uninfluenced by humans. On the basis of a survey of historical (primary) sources, it is examined if these assumptions are justified, or whether these herds should be …
Going Beyond the Instrumental View on Nature and the Human–Nature Relationship
We explore how human–nature connection and well-being in an urban context relate to nature in general, but with special attention to “values” of nature beyond the immediate city settings. We apply the “visions of nature” framework through a quantitative survey ( N = 362) held among the citizens of Lima, Peru to better understand their ideas, values, and images of relationships with nature. To achieve this, our research questions are as follows: (…
Measuring the Sustainability Performance of Our Decisions
Private and societal costs have their origin in the classic and neo-classic era. The market, based on private costs, ignores externalities, while actors fail to gain access to information on societal costs, causing a gap. The best practice price (BPP), a sustainability metric, can fill this information gap. Based on science and the weighted opinions of stakeholders, best practices for basic production factors such as land, labor, and natural reso…
Developing an effective adaptive monitoring network to support integrated coastal management in a multiuser nature reserve
Vugteveen, P., M. M. van Katwijk, E. Rouwette, H. Lenders, and L. Hanssen. 2015. Developing an effective adaptive monitoring network to support integrated coastal management in a multiuser nature reserve. Ecology and Society 20(1): 59. https://doi.org/10.5751/ES-07228-200159
The Grass Snake and the Basilisk
The grass snake owes its far northern distribution in Europe to the production and hoarding of dung from stock breeding. Dung heaps appear to be perfect breeding sites that surpass 'natural' reproduction sites in quality. Here we point out that the grass snake's dependency on manure goes back to Neolithic times and that it had a reciprocal cultural effect. Moreover, the positive influence of humans on the species not only resulted from physical o…
Stakeholder Value Orientations in Water Management
Current water management issues are characterized by factual uncertainty, relating to limits of scientific knowledge, and value uncertainty, relating to the policy process of making subjective choices. Developing and informing approaches for integrated water management (IWM) requires bringing facts and values together. This study examines the way value orientations differentiate themselves among IWM stakeholders and assesses implications for the …
Emergent principles for river management
The importance of hydrodynamics for protected and endangered biodiversity of lowland rivers
Redefinition and elaboration of river ecosystem health
Validity and sensitivity of a model for assessment of impacts of river floodplain reconstruction on protected and endangered species
