Abstract:
Land, people and institutions together shape landscapes. People manage land within the
limits set by institutions that they respect, but they may break the rules of others that are
not effectively enforced. Land use influences ecosystem processes that in turn determine
ecosystem functions for the primary land user (taking decisions to use land in a certain
way), but also for others. Negative consequences on other stakeholders are the basis of
conflicts, but these can be contained if land use rules emerge that are effectively respected
and enforced. The rules may include compensation or economic incentives, but these
need to have a common point of reference in a joint understanding of how the landscape
functions. Where previously ‘decision support’ systems were focused on informing a
single decision-maker, the term ‘negotiation support’ emerged to describe a process of
achieving a shared understanding of how the landscape system functions, the various
interests of the main stakeholders, and the various ways these are affected by current
status and trends, and by alternative development scenarios (van Noordwijk et al., 2001)
