OutlineContext - The Anthropocene
Existing tools to understand social-ecological systems
Mapping perceptions – Kenai Peninsula landscape values
Mapping vulnerabilities – Seward Peninsula

The AnthropoceneCurrently human activities and/or residence
largely occupy Earthe.g. Ellis & Ramankutty, Front. Ecol. Environ.
2008recognizing coupled social-ecological systems
.Such systems must be studied differently
than traditional disciplines currently do.

Social survey techniques linked to GIS561 useable surveys23% response rate
Mapping exerciseWhere important
values are locatedWeighting (0-50) of
the importance of that value at that location

Landscape valuesAesthetic – areas / places valued for sceneryBiological – valued for plant, animal, wildlife
habitatCultural – valued as locales for passing down
traditional knowledgeRecreation – valued for recreation activities
and experiencesSubsistence – valued for provision of food
and materials
Economic, Future, Historic, Intrinsic, Learning, Spiritual, Therapeutic, Wilderness

Key PointsA single space will host a plurality of values,
including social ones held by different communities.
Management of natural resources often assumes a standard set of values.
Biophysical measures on their own do not convey enough information to ensure their sustainability over time.

SummaryImportant role for perceptions of biophysical
state (resources)Need to include the human state
Socio-ecological systemsNeed for new approaches toward
understanding, representing, and modeling social-ecological space
