Abstract: |
Boundary work has been proven effective in bridging research communities and the gap between action
and policy-making in sustainable development. Applying this boundary-work framework, the manuscript
examines the process of knowledge co-production and evaluates its effectiveness in supporting the
negotiation process of four cases of payment for watershed services (PWS) in Indonesia. Our case studies
reveal that local communities and policy-makers have a diverse range of knowledge regarding watershed
functions and services. Recognizing this knowledge diversity, and combining it with scientific information,
leads to (i) enlightenment, by engaging local stakeholders in more active roles for knowledge coproduction
thus setting realistic targets for ecosystem services’ interventions in the design of PWS
schemes; (ii) decision-making support for stakeholders, by providing opportunities for collaborative
learning; and (iii) effective negotiations, by providing salient and credible information. We recognize 10
different prototypes that lead to a better understanding of how payments can be channeled to enhance,
or at least maintain, underlying hydrological functions. The case studies, in different landscape configurations
and associated PWS prototype settings, show that knowledge interfacing and sharing towards
co-producing collaborative products helps to clarify the performance-based indicators for effective PWS
negotiation between potential sellers and buyers of ecosystem services. |
