Abstract Understanding the myriad reasons why people value protected areas provides insight on how to align the decisions made by public land management agencies with diverse stakeholder interests. This study drew on survey data collected within the context of Denali National Park and Preserve to better understand the spatial dynamics of social values reported by frontcountry and backcountry recreationists that held differing degrees of local knowledge. Using a Public Participation in Geographic Information Systems (PPGIS) exercise and Social Values for Ecosystem Services (SolVES) mapping application, we observed differences in the point allocation and spatial distribution of social values associated with a protected area landscape. Wilderness, aesthetics and ecological integrity were the primary social values embodied by places within Denali. Backcountry recreationists engaged with a broader range of values and derived deeper benefits from recreation and therapeutic qualities of the landscape, whereas frontcountry recreationists expressed multiple, concentrated values for places in Denali that were accessible and symbolically important. We also observed that local knowledge provided a useful basis for better understanding social values, yet variation in knowledge was not spatially manifested. Our findings therefore advance the spatial prioritization of conservation initiatives that aim to represent and legitimize the voices of stakeholders in protected areas.

了解当地知识在利益相关者表达的社会价值空间动态中的作用

摘要 了解人们重视保护区的无数原因，可以洞察如何使公共土地管理机构做出的决策与不同利益相关者的利益保持一致。本研究利用在德纳利国家公园和自然保护区范围内收集的调查数据，以更好地了解拥有不同程度当地知识的边远地区和边远地区休闲爱好者所报告的社会价值的空间动态。使用公众参与地理信息系统 (PPGIS) 练习和生态系统服务社会价值 (SolVES) 绘图应用程序，我们观察到与保护区景观相关的社会价值点分配和空间分布的差异。荒野、美学和生态完整性是德纳里地区所体现的主要社会价值。偏远地区的休闲主义者从事更广泛的价值观，并从景观的娱乐和治疗品质中获得更深层次的好处，而偏远地区的休闲主义者则表达了德纳利地区的多种集中价值，这些价值是可访问的且具有象征意义。我们还观察到，本地知识为更好地理解社会价值提供了有用的基础，但知识的差异并未在空间上表现出来。因此，我们的研究结果推进了保护举措的空间优先排序，旨在代表保护区利益相关者的声音并使之合法化。德纳利（Denali）的地方集中价值，这些地方易于访问且具有象征意义。我们还观察到，本地知识为更好地理解社会价值提供了有用的基础，但知识的差异并未在空间上表现出来。因此，我们的研究结果推进了保护举措的空间优先排序，旨在代表保护区利益相关者的声音并使之合法化。德纳利（Denali）的地方集中价值，这些地方易于访问且具有象征意义。我们还观察到，本地知识为更好地理解社会价值提供了有用的基础，但知识的差异并未在空间上表现出来。因此，我们的研究结果推进了保护举措的空间优先排序，旨在代表保护区利益相关者的声音并使之合法化。
