Background : While different notions of sustainability and sustainable de- velopment have been adopted in the key policy goals of agencies at multiple gov- ernance levels, initial enchantment with sustainable development as a "win-win" panacea has given way to the emerging notion of "hard choices" and "difficult trade- offs" that entail inter-generational allocation of environmental resources. Two hy- potheses are explored: (i) Negative Discounting Hypothesis : Hyperbolic discount- ing and positive discount rates do not accurately describe the decision behavior of policy actors in all natural resource management contexts; rather, negative discount rates for ecological and natural resource conservation values could also be observed in some management contexts. (ii) Value Pluralism Hypothesis : Ecological, social, political and other values could be accorded higher weights than economic values in some natural resource management contexts. Materials and Methods : A deliberative multi-criteria analysis (DMCA) model for eliciting trade-offs among values across multiple space-time scales is presented in the management context of Vietnam's Bai Tu Long National Park (BTLNP). Five management scenarios for BTLNP - business-as-usual, total conservation, total de- velopment, multi-use, and community-owned - are evaluated on six criteria: eco- nomic welfare, social welfare, good governance, ecosystem services and biodiver- sity protection, price of land and accessibility. Results : After group discussions, Vietnamese participants revealed negative dis- counting for economic welfare, social welfare, and ecosystem services, while posi- tive discounting for the other three criteria. Economic welfare is accorded relatively lesser weight than ecosystem services and good governance. Conclusions : Deliberative process reveals that multiple use area and community ownership management scenarios could better serve pluralistic stakeholder values.
