In order to examine an enhanced method for valuing cultural ecosystem services(CES), we conducted a deliberative workshop within Upo Wetlands, engaging a diverse cohort of 15 tourists, residents, and interpreters. The workshop included three rounds of survey responses to valuation questions, mind mapping exercises to identify the types and priorities of CES, and individual and group interviews to gather both quantitative and qualitative data. The participants’ responses to the CES, preference, and valuation questions were compared using the pre-and post-workshop questionnaires. The study results are as follows: First, there are seven different types of CES, and landscape and aesthetics are the most important, followed by education, sense of place, cultural heritage, social connections, inspiration, and tourism and recreation. Second, the pre-and post-workshop comparisons showed an average of 2.2 alterations to participants’ choices among the six paired choice sets given in the questionnaires. Third, follow-up participant interviews indicated how the deliberative process exposed them to different perspectives and provided an opportunity to gain new insight into the values of ecosystem services, which ultimately led to changes in their valuation responses. The participants stated that the deliberative process helps them consider socially better options, implying that the deliberative approach can be effective in the valuation of ecosystem services.
