| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This research examined linkages between peoples’ minds, behaviors, and the socio-ecological environment. Literature review, field surveys and questionnaire data revealed linkages between individuals’ wellbeing and their socio-ecological environment, as well as between societal future scenarios and their associated values. Analyses at both individual and societal scales indicated that how people perceive and value nature impacts the socio-ecological environment. Furthermore, in addition to the human-nature relationship, human-human relationships and situations such as inequality and social isolation were shown to be impactful for the achievement of a society in harmony with nature.
In order to assess diverse values and knowledge bases, this research reviewed grey literature using an original methodological approach. Comparative analysis of grey and peer-reviewed literature revealed contrasts ranging from denotation of key terms to the scale and focus of the scenarios.

| Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements |
本研究では、自然共生社会の構築、すなわち持続可能な開発に必要とされる知見を整理し、蓄積することを試みた。研究で得られた知見は、国内外の行政や自治体へ提供され、また、国連が設立した、生物多様性及び生態系サービスに関する政府間科学―政策プラットフォーム（IPBES）のValues AssessmentおよびTransformative Change Assessmentにおいても、主執筆者を担当した。なお、グレー文献への関心が高まっているにも関わらず、関連文献や方法論が未だ乏しいなか、その組織的レビューを可能にする方法論を開発し、今後の知識の整理や収集の道を拓いた。
