Abstract

Engaging stakeholders in developing scenarios of alternative futures and landscape change contributes to public policies linked to the Aarhus Declaration on access to information and public participation in decision-making. �� The use of scenarios enables consideration of options, and assessing alternative outcomes and futures. However, narratives and storylines should consider the pathways of change which could include adverse short term impacts on landscapes before realising longer term benefits. �� 3D visualization tools, linked to spatially expressed scenarios and modelling, provide effective means of communicating, but need to be easily interpreted and designed with the target audience in mind, whether domain expert, policy officer, land manager, or member of the public. �� The increasing popularity of citizen science has the potential for capturing data on stakeholder's opinions on landscapes and potential impacts of pressures for change, using 3D tools which enable geospecific representations of alternative futures.
