The essential element to be understood by aid agencies is that the rules have changed and that the government, or increasingly a non-state armed actor, has entered into a new way of conceptualising the boundaries of its action and the acceptability of action by external actors.
Information about the acceptability of conservation actions can help environmental authorities design policies that are accepted locally, and identify potential areas of conflict between land users and conservation objectives.
Our results suggest that more specialized anglers develop simple heuristics to deal with complex ecological issues, which may in turn affect the uptake of information and the acceptability of management actions designed by agencies and managers.
When applied to the design and implementation of land use plans, this type of information can improve the acceptability of conservation actions, enhance environmental stewardship, and minimise land use conflict through taking stock of the values and attitudes (precursors to behaviour) that are relevant to proposed land use change and conservation action.
At the project level, evaluations must address environmental quality, impacts on livelihoods, health, household economies, and the overall cost and acceptability of the action.
Process evaluation will include the evaluation of the feasibility and acceptability of the action planning process and the extent of use of the toolkit (resource guide, resource box, physical activity resource bin) at these schools.
It should be acknowledged that we asked participants only about the acceptability of certain courses of action, and not about what doctors should do or about what course of action participants most prefer.
Following each vignette, we asked respondents to give their opinions on the acceptability of different courses of action that the physician could take in these situations.
Again, we asked respondents to give their opinions about the acceptability of different courses of action that the physician could take.
The ultimate aim was to inform incentive intervention design by providing insights into incentive acceptability and mechanisms of action.
