| Abstract: | This article analyses the processes and mechanisms available for integrating different types of knowledge for environmental management. The study presents a series of questions for identifying, engaging, evaluating and applying different knowledges during project design and delivery. These questions are used as a basis to compare three environmental management projects that aimed to integrate knowledge from different sources. The findings reveal that integrating different types of knowledge is inherently complex. It is argued that there is no single optimum approach for integrating local and scientific knowledge and encourage a shift in science from the development of knowledge integration products to the development of problem-focussed, knowledge integration processes. These processes need to be systematic, reflexive and cyclic. |
