Effective climate change adaptation planning requires evaluating the interplay of physical landscape characteristics and community perceptions of places. Geographic information system (GIS)-based approaches to measuring environmental values can identify locations for planning prioritization. But they seldom are used to consider spatial differences in socio-ecological worldview. This study aims to identify how place-based risk perceptions and landscape values can inform climate change adaptation using a Q+PPGIS method. We integrated mapped landscape values and climate risks (from 39 PPGIS participants) with elicited discourses (for 28 Q-method participants) to develop a novel land classification approach (reflexive Q+PPGIS). The results demonstrate significant differences between wilderness as a discourse and perceived, and the physical features associated with mapped wild areas. Similar differences in discourse and spatial patterns are observed for climate risks. For example, participants’ mapped areas of bushfire risk do not align with agencies’ identified risk areas, their jurisdictions, and capacities to take action. This disconnect presents a challenge to adaptation. Local governments can use this new method to show constituents multiple and often competing community demands for action, enabling honest conversations about feasible actions, responsibilities, and resource allocation.

加强气候适应：使用 Q+PPGIS 整合基于地方的风险感知和海岸景观值


有效的气候变化适应规划需要评估物理景观特征和社区对地方的看法之间的相互作用。基于地理信息系统 （GIS） 的测量环境价值的方法可以确定规划优先级的位置。但它们很少被用来考虑社会生态世界观的空间差异。本研究旨在确定基于地方的风险感知和景观价值如何使用 Q+PPGIS 方法为气候变化适应提供信息。我们将绘制的景观价值和气候风险（来自 39 名 PPGIS 参与者）与引发的话语（针对 28 名 Q 方法参与者）相结合，以开发一种新的土地分类方法（反射性 Q+PPGIS）。结果表明，作为话语和感知的荒野与与绘制的荒野区域相关的物理特征之间存在显着差异。在气候风险方面观察到话语和空间模式的类似差异。例如，参与者绘制的丛林火灾风险区域与机构确定的风险区域、其管辖范围和采取行动的能力不一致。这种脱节对适应提出了挑战。地方政府可以使用这种新方法向选民展示多种且经常相互竞争的社区行动要求，从而就可行的行动、责任和资源分配进行诚实的对话。
