Overview
We present a framework of resource characteristics critical to the design and assessment of citizen science programs that monitor natural resources. To develop the framework we reviewed 52 citizen science programs that monitored a wide range of resources and provided insights into what resource characteristics are most conducive to developing citizen science programs and how resource characteristics may constrain the use or growth of these programs. We focused on 4 types of resource characteristics: biophysical and geographical, management and monitoring, public awareness and knowledge, and social and cultural characteristics. We applied the framework to 2 programs, the Tucson (U.S.A.) Bird Count and the Maui (U.S.A.) Great Whale Count. We found that resource characteristics such as accessibility, diverse institutional involvement in resource management, and social or cultural importance of the resource affected program endurance and success. However, the relative influence of each characteristic was in turn affected by goals of the citizen science programs. Although the goals of public engagement and education sometimes complimented the goal of collecting reliable data, in many cases trade-offs must be made between these 2 goals. Program goals and priorities ultimately dictate the design of citizen science programs, but for a program to endure and successfully meet its goals, program managers must consider the diverse ways that the nature of the resource being monitored influences public participation in monitoring. Presentamos un marco de referencia de las características críticas para el diseño y la evaluación de los programas de ciencia ciudadana que monitorean los recursos naturales. Para desarrollar el marco de referencia, revisamos 52 programas de ciencia ciudadana que monitoreaban una extensa gama de recursos y proporcionaban conocimiento sobre cuáles características fuente son más conducentes a desarrollar programas de ciencia ciudadana y cómo las características fuente pueden restringir el uso o el crecimiento de estos programas. Nos enfocamos en cuatro tipos de características fuente: biofísicas y geográficas, de manejo y monitoreo, percatación y conocimiento ciudadano y características sociales y culturales. Aplicamos el marco de trabajo a dos programas: en Conteo de Aves de Tucson (E.U.A) y el Conteo de Grandes Ballenas de Maui (E.U.A). Encontramos que las características fuente, como la accesibilidad, el involucramiento institucional diverso y la importancia social o cultural del recurso, afectaban al éxito del programa. Sin embargo, la influencia relativa de cada característica fue a su vez afectada por las metas de los programas de ciencia ciudadana. Aunque las metas de compromiso público y de educación algunas veces complementan al objetivo de recolección de datos fiables, en muchos casos se deben realizar compensaciones entre estas dos metas. Las metas y prioridades de los programas dictan finalmente el diseño de los programas de ciencia ciudadana pero para que un programa perdure y consiga exitosamente sus metas, quienes manejan los programas deben considerar las formas diversas en las que la naturaleza del recurso monitoreado influye sobre la participación pública en el monitoreo.
