N2 - The objective of this study is to present an efficiency-perception impact assessment based upon the integration of fuzzy logic (FL) of the ''Productive Reconversion'' conservation program (PRP) instituted by the Mexican government, in the upper Gulf of California and the Colorado Delta Biosphere Reserve. This approach enables environmental analysts to deal with the intrinsic imprecision and ambiguity associated with people's judgments and conclusions. The application of FL to the assessment of program efficiency is illustrated in this work, demonstrating how subjective perceptions can be converted into quantitative values easy to evaluate during the decision-making process. copyright; Royal Swedish Academy of Sciences 2012.
