**3.2 Terms and theoretical perspectives of the communication model**

The structure of the communication process based on BEM framework can be illustrated as shown in Table 6. The two knowledge regimes (empirical and methodological), which are two different ways of acquiring and constructing knowledge, are paired with the accepted viewpoints of both globals and locals about ecological issues. A normative standpoint is taken by insisting on the right of local people to understand and participate in a discursive reflection on the content and value of the indicator system. The appurtenance interests of the globals comprise the ecological area regarding empirical knowledge acquired by an epistemological methodological approach, and the appurtenance interests of the local comprise the ontological way of experience of nature and natural resources and later ecological knowledge acquired by scientific work.
