The concept of value provides a natural connection between place and conservation decision-making. Different ways of thinking about value lead to varying approaches to making decisions, some of which may be better than others for dealing with place-based values. Individual experiences of value are grounded in an implicit, felt dimension of awareness, and this dimension must be taken into account if place-based values are to function effectively in conservation decisions. Experiential practices for accessing this implicit dimension may help people to articulate and communicate their felt sense of place, providing a basis for a group decision-making process that better reflects and includes the value of place. |
