DESCRIPTION:Peatland fire management is a leading global environmental cha
 llenge and extensive peatfires in Indonesia have become a domestic and int
 ernational priority\, spurring intensely contentious debates\, policies an
 d legal proceedings. Previous fire management interventions (FMI) are nume
 rous yet have suffered widespread implementation failures. \n\nDistinct st
 akeholder groups are involved in the peat fire complex\, involving particu
 lar relationships with the flows of benefits and burdens that accrue from 
 intentional and escaped fires. The perceptions of stakeholders often condi
 tion behaviour\, compliance and engagement in ways that impact environment
 al outcomes. Against this backdrop\, our manuscript provides a thematicall
 y and methodologically novel analysis of how diverse stakeholders\, from l
 ocal farmers to international policy makers\, perceive peatland fires in t
 erms of\, i) how they prioritize the associated benefits and burdens\, and
  ii) the perceived effectiveness of FMI. We adopt an innovative applicatio
 n of Q method to provide needed insights that serve to quantify the areas 
 of contention and consensus that exist among the stakeholders and their mu
 lti-dimensional perspectives.\n
