(iv) {D}iverse viewpoints are taken into consideration mainly by using indicators (67.3%) rather than by promoting discussion (39.8%). {T}hree types of {PLSA} study can be differentiated: the participation-oriented approach, the contributive approach (rooted in positivism) and the collaborative approach (rooted in constructivism).{C}onclusion {W}e advocate that future {PLSA} studies pay more attention to consistency between their objectives, the methods they employ, and the theoretical grounding they enlist. {T}his might help to avoid confusion about different participatory approaches and to understand their respective contributions to {L}andscape {S}ustainability {S}cience.}, keywords = {{A}ssessment ; {I}ndicators ; {L}andscape sustainability ; {P}articipation ; {S}ustainability science}, booktitle = {}, journal = {{L}andscape {E}cology}, volume = {38}, numero = {}, pages = {1903--1918}, ISSN = {0921-2973}, year = {2023}, DOI = {10.1007/s10980-023-01695-x}, URL = {https://www.documentation.ird.fr/hor/fdi:010088084}, }
