Reviewer 2 Report

The article is of great interest. Detailed methodological work has been carried out and sufficient surveys have been developed to obtain quality results. The results obtained can be used for decision making in the locality, but also to be replicated as a study in other places.

Below are some suggestions for a better understanding of some sections.

99-100: I advise you to rewrite this sentence. Although it is understood that the quotes are from the authors you mention, it is not easy to read. 

169: It occurs the same that in line 99.

Table 3. It should be explained why resource stewardship is included in "ecosystem and resource" and not in "planning and governance". It could be in both, it should be justified.

357: the section "Perception and understanding of planning and governance" can be expanded with the results obtained, emphasising the importance of planning for participation and local knowledge.

The conclusions are well explained. However, they could put more value on the work done in a way that shows how local wisdom can influence decision-making in a locality.

The overall manuscript was written poorly.

Table 1 is not cited in the text.

The number of tables is excessive. 16 Tables in a manuscript is too much.

Always use same format somewhere Table and somewhere table. Capital latter or small letter.

Keep same format for Capital latter or small letter throughout the manuscript. For example, full content in Table 3.
