Why map landscape values?
• Lack of systematic methods for identifying and integrating community values into NRM
• Values are linked to political acceptability of land-use decisions
• Integral to Goal 3 of the State NRM Plan (Peoples and Communities)– 3.4.4 “Seek and value the knowledge, skills and expertise
of local people, including Aboriginal landholders, in planning and on-ground delivery”
• Identify place-specific priorities for NRM investment.
• Sample• Survey Instrument • Map• Landscape Values Typology• Survey Mail Out (Dillman TDM)• Data Entry• Results Analysis

Implications for NRM planning
• Systematic and representative process• Transparent• Identify areas of values conflict and special
management concern • Overlay with other land attributes for integrated
resource management• Recognises the role of non-use values in resource
decision making• Provides a baseline for monitoring and evaluation
