Context Transitions to more sustainable landscapes require that actors change their thinking about using the landscape and act collectively to implement a shared view on the future. If landscape ecologists want their knowledge to contribute to such transitions, the information they provide need to stimulate collective decisions and action. Objective To identify key factors that determine how scientific information about landscape functioning and benefits influences actors in organizing collective action for landscape sustainability. Method I combine a theory of knowledge management with a theory of behavioural change to construct a framework of 4 phases of interpretation and implementation of landscape information. Results The 4 phases are: (1) actors accept the information as significant, (2) actors assess the saliency of the information for their case, (3) the information stimulates social network building and collective action, and (4) the information enforces the capacity to organize collaborative change. The extent to which these phases effectively develop in the interaction between scientists and practitioners depends on characteristics of the information, but to a great deal also on the process of interaction and the roles scientist play. I discuss how landscape ecologists can intervene in these phases, by providing the right information and by facilitating an interactive process of knowledge generation. Conclusions Whether landscape information is eventually used in organizing the landscape change depends on characteristics of the information and the governance process in which the information is brought in. Knowledge from social sciences is indispensable for landscape ecology with impact.

在景观科学和可持续集体行动之间导航：确定信息处理中的关键因素

背景 向更可持续的景观过渡需要参与者改变他们对景观使用的想法，并集体行动以实现对未来的共同看法。如果景观生态学家希望他们的知识有助于这种转变，他们提供的信息需要刺激集体决策和行动。目标 确定决定景观功能和利益的科学信息如何影响参与者组织景观可持续性集体行动的关键因素。方法一将知识管理理论与行为改变理论相结合，构建景观信息解释和实施4个阶段的框架。结果 4 个阶段是：(1) 参与者接受信息是重要的，(2) 参与者评估其案例信息的显着性，(3) 信息刺激社交网络建设和集体行动，以及 (4) 信息增强组织协作变革的能力。这些阶段在科学家和实践者之间的互动中有效发展的程度取决于信息的特征，但在很大程度上也取决于互动过程和科学家扮演的角色。我讨论了景观生态学家如何通过提供正确的信息和促进知识生成的交互过程来干预这些阶段。结论景观信息是否最终用于组织景观变化取决于信息的特征和信息引入的治理过程。
