Stakeholder definition of ecosystem services:An analytical framework based on a practical theoretical perspective
The mismatch between ecosystem service scale and human governance scale is one of the causes of ecosystem service degradation.Defining ecosystem service stakeholders is the first step to understand and solve this problem.This study introduces Bourdieu's practical theo-ry perspective,proposes an analytical framework for the definition and identity change mecha-nism of ecosystem service stakeholders,and provides practical attempts and research ideas from the field of ecosystem services for the application and development of stakeholder theory.The research shows that stakeholders are important social attribute variables in the ecosystem service feedback mechanism,and exist in the hierarchical spatial structure,showing special at-tributes such as competitive dynamic balance and differential weight rank,and are benefit ob-jects for achieving the goals of ecosystem service management.The evolution of stakeholder theory and the classification criteria of stakeholder types are helpful for the discussion of stake-holder definition of ecosystem services,but there are some differences in adaptation.The intro-duction of Bourdieu's practice theory,which embodies the unique research perspective of com-prehensiveness,relationship,fuzziness,generation and reproduction,can provide an analytical framework composed of core concepts such as field,habitus and capital for the definition of ecosystem service stakeholders.It also provides a way to explain the mechanism of identity change.At the same time,in response to the development orientation and trend of the integra-tion of regularist"value"and positivist"fact"of stakeholder theory,it expands its theoretical in-terpretation boundary and brings practical attempts in the field of ecosystem services.Based on this analysis framework,the paper proposes further research directions for institutional design from the political,economic,social and cultural fields,and tries to explore the establishment of an institutional system that starts from stakeholder definition to regulating the mismatch be-tween ecosystem service scale and human governance scale.
