The planning of protected rural areas is usually defined by institutional decision-makers
without considering the preferences of the local communities that live on the land, which frequently
leads to conflicts in landmanagement. This paper proposes a votingmethod based on the Borda count to
rank themanagement goals of a protected rural area. Themethodwas applied in a Spanish-Portuguese
reserve called Iberian Plateauwith the aimof collecting the preferences of institutional decision-makers
(government and scientists) and rural landowners (farmers and businesspersons). Regarding the
conservation and development objectives, the results show differences in spatial planning when only
the preferences of institutional decision-makers are taken into consideration, as opposed to when the
preferences of landowners are included within the analysis.
