Learning objectives Participants have a clear understanding of the use spatial analysis and priority setting and are able to explain its additional value that results in the geographical mapping of relationships of biodiversity conservation targets, threats, contributing factors as well as stakeholders laying out possible conflicts and synergies informing priority setting of future strategy development. Furthermore participants are able to facilitate the process of understanding and mapping out the geographical relationship between the biodiversity objects and the various threats with its contributing factors. They are able to guide a review process of the scope of management and to moderate valuable insights into spatially related issues, which will need to be addressed at the next stage of strategy formulation. 9.

? What does conducting a spatial analysis and priority setting mean? Comparison and establishing of relationships between theoretical conceptualisation of biodiversity object, stresses, threats, contributing factors etc. and their geographical distribution with the help of maps Insights into spatially related issues 9.

? Why do we conduct a spatial analysis and priority setting? Rather theoretical and abstract conceptual model „translated“ into tangible visualisation on map Understanding geographical rela- tionship between biodiversity objects and various threats with their contributing factors and which concrete local biodiversity objects are meant and affected Identification of spatial concen- trations and focus areas 9. Spatial analysis and priority setting7 © Christoph Nowicki 2014 Interesting! Already offers an assumption about spatial distribution

? How do we conduct a spatial analysis and priority setting? Participants are confronted with 2 visual displays of their analysis o Geographical map (scope) o Interactive conceptual map that is still in progress Reconstruct the geographical relationship between biodiversity objects (originally on the map) and threats with their contributing factors 9. Spatial analysis and priority setting8 →Number threats and key contributing factors and stick them on the map with round stickers Observe patterns and accumulations of stickers New relations and priorities can be identified Detailed GIS maps could be generated © Christoph Nowicki 2014

? Practical Tips If appropriate and feasible: filming contributions and testimonies by participants is recommended > enables mapping at a later time Giving the participants a lot of time and many stickers may lead to a good depiction of threat concentrations but may also become confusing (e.g. when people only know about their close environment and thus focus on it and do not have a clue about the situation in neighbouring districts) → Limiting the number of stickers might be helpful Using different colours to indicate the intensity of an element could be an interesting addition 9.
