Abstract

The gap analysis process provides an overview of the distribution and conservation status of several components of biodiversity. Lands are categorized relative to management status, the degree to which an area is managed to maintain biodiversity. This study examines how various socio-politicalgroups interpret and apply the management status codes used to categorize land tracts in gap analysis. A key finding is the considerable variation among individuals in their application of the status codes. This shows a large degree of uncertainty about the land tracts and the status codes, and suggests the need to develop an objective and repeatable management categorization process.
