Abstract

Abstract Integrated socio-ecological decision-making is important in improving legitimacy in management decisions through effective solutions that avert conflicts. This research examined social perceptions in landscape planning and management with regard to the Greater flamingo, a flagship species along the southern French Coast. A strategic delivery to a cross-section in a social catchment (n = 87) captured the perception and the recognition of management strategies through a survey questionnaire. Analysis was conducted through a multi-method approach, triangulating qualitative and quantitative results. Results show the importance of the attachment to flamingos in local landscapes. Knowledge on flamingo ecology was relatively high and participants perceived some of the regional management options to be unfavorable for flamingos. Participants identified threats to the species and expressed concern for the future of the flamingos, challenging the legitimacy of some landscape management decisions and planning policies. This research demonstrates the role of flagship species in stimulating reflection on landscape management, addressing both the ecological and human dimensions. Understanding social perceptions of biodiversity management objectives is fundamental for effective coastal conservation.

评估与旗舰物种相关的管理观念:增加景观管理合法性和支持的新方法

摘要综合社会生态决策对于通过避免冲突的有效解决方案提高管理决策的合法性至关重要。这项研究考察了法国南部海岸旗舰物种大火烈鸟在景观规划和管理中的社会认知。向社会集水区的一个横截面的战略性交付（n = 87）通过调查问卷了解了管理策略的认知和认可情况。分析是通过多种方法进行的，对定性和定量结果进行三角测量。研究结果显示了对火烈鸟的依恋在当地景观中的重要性。关于火烈鸟生态学的知识相对较高，参与者认为一些区域管理选择对火烈鸟不利。参与者确定了对该物种的威胁，并对火烈鸟的未来表示担忧，挑战了一些景观管理决策和规划政策的合法性。这项研究证明了旗舰物种在激发对景观管理的反思方面的作用，涉及生态和人类两个层面。了解社会对生物多样性管理目标的看法对于有效的海岸保护至关重要。

期刊介绍： Coastal Management is an international peer-reviewed, applied research journal dedicated to exploring the technical, applied ecological, legal, political, social, and policy issues relating to the use of coastal and ocean resources and environments on a global scale. The journal presents timely information on management tools and techniques as well as recent findings from research and analysis that bear directly on management and policy. Findings must be grounded in the current peer reviewed literature and relevant studies. Articles must contain a clear and relevant management component. Preference is given to studies of interest to an international readership, but case studies are accepted if conclusions are derived from acceptable evaluative methods, reference to comparable cases, and related to peer reviewed studies.
