  "term": "Direct Use Classification",
  "field": "Environment",
  "definition": "Classification of the different ways in which EEPs are directly used or appreciated by humans. Direct uses may be either extractive or in-situ. Note that direct users may derive an increase in well-being from using ecological end-products as well as from non-use (i.e., direct users such as households may appreciate end-products even if they do not see or use them). Context: This NESCS Plus classification component addresses the question about how EEPs are used or appreciated. Example: Direct uses include extraction of natural resources for transformation into economic products, or non-extractive use associated with outdoor recreation.",
