The process of creating Biosphere Reserves
2 Evaluation model and
methodological approach
2.1 Evaluation model
In the task of evaluation we have used an evaluation model in five stages (figure 1).
i) Initially we collected the information on the different Biosphere Reserves
1. prerequisites (the origin and background of Biosphere applications)
2. the work process
3. the result (i.e. which organisational arrangements have finally been arrived
at)
ii) These three parts of the evaluation have thus provided the basis from which to
4. draw conclusions and
5. make recommendations

1) Prerequisites: e.g. What was the origin of the application? From whom
did the initiative come? What was the motivation behind it?
