dc.description.abstractDespite their potential benefits for participatory wetland management, wetland meanings have not been taken into account in this process. Furthermore, it is still unclear how these meanings develop through wetland-human interactions and how they interrelate in different contexts. This research aims to narrow this gap by exploring and comparing the meanings of a cutaway bog in Ireland and a deltaic floodplain in Turkey through a comparative qualitative case study methodology based on the interpretive phenomenological approach (IPA). Data were collected through semi-structured, face to face interviews with 18 local respondents and analysed using content and discourse analyses based on deductive and inductive coding techniques. The findings revealed that physical and socio-cultural landscape features, landscape experiences, place meanings at all layers, and participation in management were all mutually influential in the case wetlands. The meanings of Lough Boora (Ireland) highlight the importance of landscape change and collective action with a shared vision in the transformation of community links with landscape and place meanings. It is concluded that identity expressive and socio-cultural meanings, as important antecedents and predictors of attitudes towards participation, have potentials to inform about the issues and opportunities for participation in decision-making for wetland landscapes. Accordingly, wetland meanings should be considered from the early management planning stages to improve the inclusiveness of plans. While strengthening relationships between wetland stakeholders through context-relevant, participatory activities appear as a key strategy to increase the inclusiveness of management, improving wetlands' meanings through enhancement of the environmental and recreation-tourism infrastructure appears to be another.en_US
