This approach brings together stakeholders, policy-makers and researchers \u2013 in an agricultural peri-urban region of Portugal, the Lez\u00edria do Tejo region \u2013 to anticipate the possible changes in agricultural territories, while taking spatial dynamics into account. It uses a four-step methodology which integrates qualitative and quantitative approaches to select stakeholders\u2019 interview areas, implement prospective workshops to engage and explore the stakeholders\u2019 interests and encourage actions towards finding solutions for long-term agricultural sustainability in this region. The results from our study highlight that more participative approaches such as the ones developed here must be implemented towards decision-making, since they help to dispel the distrust between stakeholders, strengthen community cohesion and also contribute to build common solutions drawing upon various perspectives. From a PAR perspective, this work contributes to bridge the gap between academia and practitioners, as is shown by a willingness of the practitioners to actively participate in the research under progress.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.7202\/1040537ar","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,24]],"date-time":"2017-07-24T13:39:01Z","timestamp":1500903541000},"page":"303-323","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":3,"title":["Building a prospective participatory approach for long-term agricultural sustainability in the Lez\u00edria do Tejo region (Portugal)"],"prefix":"10.7202","volume":"60","author":[{"given":"Patr\u00edcia","family":"ABRANTES","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"CEG, IGOT, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Margarida","family":"QUEIR\u00d3S","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEG, IGOT, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal"}]},{"given":"Guilhem","family":"MOUSSELIN","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"UMR CNRS 5319 Passages, Universit\u00e9 Bordeaux Montaigne, France"}]},{"given":"Claire","family":"RUAULT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"GERDAL, La Houdinais, France"}]},{"given":"\u00c9tienne","family":"ANGINOT","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LEADER France, France"}]},{"given":"In\u00eas","family":"FONTES","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"CEG, IGOT, Universidade de Lisboa, Portugal"}]}],"member":"4194","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2017,7,18]]},"reference":[{"key":"rb1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","unstructured":"ABELAIRAS-ETXEBARRIA, Patricia and ASTORKIZA, Inma (2012) Farmland prices and land-use changes in periurban protected natural areas.
