Disseminating land use land cover change scenarios for improving the role of blue and green infrastructure: Evaluation and perspectives

Abstract

Land use and land cover (LULC) scenarios are often co-produced by researchers and a reduced in the scenarios making, restricting the diffusion of scientific results to the co-construction group can limit their potential to support land management. In this study, we want to investigate if disseminating some LUCC scenarios to a broad and heterogeneous audience is effective in overcoming socio-cultural and knowledge-related barriers to BGINs. We presented LULC scenarios that study the impact of different blue and green infrastructure strategies on water resources and biodiversity. In 12 workshops, we collected feedback from 147 local actors, including representatives, water management technicians, farmers and students. Findings indicate that despite the original aim of the scenarios being to support the integration of Blue and Green Infrastructures (BGINs) in land management, the primary benefits were a deeper understanding of future land management challenges and cause-effect relationships between different landscape elements and socioeconomic drivers of change. In addition, we observed significantly influences the evaluation. We conclude that, while scenarios can be an effective tool in overcoming some of the barriers of BGINs, the outcomes of scenarios can be maximised by making the expected outcomes (including conceptual ones) explicit and by acknowledging local actor the dissemination.
