This article aims to contribute to the debate about the role of relational values in environmental decision making, by putting forward a typology of ‘human-nature relational models’. We argue that human-nature relational models, which stress the notion of cognitive frameworks, can be useful to understand core drivers of individual and social behavior that underlie environmental change and socio-environmental conflicts. A ‘relational models’ approach calls for taking into consideration the diversity of cognitive frameworks conditioning our interaction with nature, with the ultimate goal of avoiding, mitigating, transforming and resolving socio-environmental conflicts and achieving a wiser relationship with the natural environment.

本文旨在通过提出“人与自然的关系模型”的类型，为有关关系价值在环境决策中的作用的辩论做出贡献。我们认为，强调认知框架概念的人与自然的关系模型对于理解构成环境变化和社会环境冲突的个人和社会行为的核心驱动力可能是有用的。一种“关系模型”方法要求考虑到制约我们与自然互动的认知框架的多样性，其最终目标是避免，减轻，转变和解决社会环境冲突，并与自然环境实现更明智的关系。
