V.2. Determinación del Nivel del Objetivo de Inflación de Largo Plazo
Over half (57%, n=67) of the non-economically focused 117 papers used the term cultural values; the terms shared values or social values were each found in under a quarter and the phrase plural values occurred in only four papers (Figure 4). In all but one instance plural values were discussed in
conjunction with cultural values. Terms were often used interchangeably and frequently within the same paper. Approximately half of the papers discussed values in relation to the ecosystems of Europe and North America, with 52% (n=61) reporting studies from these regions (Figure 5).). The environments of Asia, Australasia, South America and Africa represented a third (35%, n=41) with the remaining articles discussing values with respect to more general area reference. Of those articles specifically focused on cultural values associated with a particular indigenous group, there was a broad geographical spread including the Americas, Australasia, Asia and Europe.

Table 1 provides specific examples of the ways in which the terms cultural, social and shared values were used within the literature. In most papers no specific definition was provided; rather, the authors outlined what the terms they use included or how the type of value manifested in a given context. Throughout the literature, it was suggested that quantification of these values is

problematic and that it is difficult to map them onto the physical landscape as well as across different communities.
Social and cultural values were described in similar ways. Within the discussion of cultural values, Klain & Chan (2012) outlined that these include sense of place and spiritual value. Chan et al. (2012) argued that the terms ‘services’, ‘benefits’ and ‘values’ were being conflated within the literature and within debates concerning values, valuation and the natural environment and suggested that while this remains the case these values will continue to be poorly represented in decision-making. The labels of ‘intangible’ and ‘imagined’ values were sometimes used to denote cultural values (Kanoswki & Williams, 2009). Robinson et al. (2012) in their discussion of cultural values made the distinction between ‘held values’ – described as fundamental, universal, principles and ideals – and ‘assigned values’, ones that are associated with an object, and/or were place- or culturally-based; this distinction, first made by Rokeach (1973), has resonance with the concepts of transcendental and contextual that were put forward in Section 1 and will be discussed in more detail in Section 3 of this report.
Social values were also not specifically defined, although some authors outlined what they included, for example aesthetic, recreation, or therapeutic values (Sherrouse et al. 2011). For Pike et al. (2011), social values were a contested concept; their conceptualisation included aesthetic and recreation values, similar to Sherrouse et al. (2011). As with cultural values the label intangible – as distinct from tangible – was used in relation to social values. Cultural values were also related to institutions, where they were seen as more problematic. Rees (2003, 2010) discussed cultural values in relation to the prevailing growth-oriented global development paradigm, noting that to achieve sustainability the world community must write a new cultural narrative designed for living on a finite planet.
Shared values related to issues of ethics and fairness, shared responsibility and shared meanings. Hoekveld & Needham (2012) highlighted this in terms of the need for development of an ethic for spatial planners based on shared values of the profession, while Cantrill & Senecah (2001)
emphasised the role that a shared sense of ‘selves-in-place’ could play in the process of attending to or embracing conservation orientated practices. The term plural values, when explicitly stated, was used as a concept to denote when multiple, potentially incommensurable, dimensions of values were identified such as aesthetic, heritage, moral, social value, etc. For example, Trainor (2006) identified 10 realms of value that included aesthetic, cultural and social. In their discussion of sustainable development planning, Barbanente & Khakee (2003) highlighted the plurality of values underlying decision-making surrounding the formation of future-focused policies. This same multiplicity of values was highlighted with regard to ideological drivers of biodiversity conservation initiatives, including intrinsic value of nature, traditional values of indigenous peoples, equity within and across generations, and economic well-being (Robinson, 2011). While the term plural value was not explicitly used in many of the papers, the concept of a plurality of values cuts across the
literature as authors identified in their research a wide range of values related to nature, e.g. spiritual, recreational, aesthetic, place-based values. Thus, when looking at how the terms shared, cultural, social and plural values were conceptualised, it seems that, overall, they were not always specifically defined; rather, they were identified by the categories within them. These values can be contested and there also seemed to be some overlap in what the terms covered and included.
Table 1 and the wider non-economic literature reviewed through the REA process highlight links to the theoretical framework of shared values types detailed in Section 3. For example, Klain & Chan (2012) suggested that CES such as sense of place, stewardship obligations and spiritual value of nature are often linked to fundamental transcendental values about moral concerns that can motivate people to protect and restore ecosystems (see Section 2.4.1 for a more detailed review of
37
this literature). The concepts of shared responsibility, fairness and justice as outlined by Evans et al.
(2008) and Arlinghaus (2006) relate to three of the value types in the conceptual typology, i.e. other- regarding values and communal values as well as transcendental values. Pike et al. (2010, 2011) argued that the identification of social values necessitated community participation in order to effectively uncover the existent communal values, ideas akin to the idea of communal, group and deliberated values articulated in theoretical framework. Anthony et al.’s (2009) discussion of social values highlighted a category of tacit values (such as sense of place, informal local traditions and spiritual appreciation) that are difficult to articulate. To the extent that these tacit values are collectively held (cf. Cantrill & Senecah, 2001), these may relate to contextual communal and cultural values within the conceptual typology defined in more detail in Section 3.
