In this policy perspective, we outline several conditions to support effective science–policy interaction, with a particular emphasis on improving water governance in transboundary basins. Key conditions include (1) recognizing that science is a crucial but bounded input into water resource decision-making processes; (2) establishing conditions for collaboration and shared commitment among actors; (3) understanding that social or group-learning processes linked to science–policy interaction are enhanced through greater collaboration; (4) accepting that the collaborative production of knowledge about hydrological issues and associated socioeconomic change and institutional responses is essential to build legitimate decision-making processes; and (5) engaging boundary organizations and informal networks of scientists, policy makers, and civil society. We elaborate on these conditions with a diverse set of international examples drawn from a synthesis of our collective experiences in assessing the opportunities and constraints (including the role of power relations) related to governance for water in transboundary settings. 相似文献

This paper investigates where and how sustainable transport goals are translated into public transport planning and operations. The case where this is explored is the Regional Public Transport Authority (RPTA) in Stockholm, Sweden. By drawing upon recent discussions on policy translation and political–administrative relationships, sustainable transport is found to be translated in two different collaborative spaces in the RTPA. In the market side of the authority, which is mainly preoccupied with procurement of traffic and compliance issues, sustainable transport is translated into quantitative goals (including biofuels, emissions, noise, etc.) and mechanically reproduced from the politicians via the civil servants to the private operators. In the planning side of the authority, sustainability measurements have been hard to quantify and the challenge to integrate land-use and transport planning is resolved in an organic manner, in specific projects, between the strategic transport planners in the RPTA and the land-use planners in the municipalities, at a distance from the politicians’ involvement. Throughout the RPTA, sustainable transport has broadened to also include social sustainability, although this has been difficult to translate into quantitative measurements, which is the desired mode of governance by the politicians. 相似文献

As the demand for water in cities increases, the quantity of wastewater being produced is growing at a phenomenal rate. If resources are to be managed effectively, a new paradigm is required for urban wastewater management. This paper reviews the initial findings of a participatory action planning process for managing wastewater for agricultural use. It finds that such processes need considerable facilitation, capacity building and knowledge sharing, but that if a plan can be devised that meets the needs of the stakeholders, even if some compromise is required, then certain stakeholders are likely to take responsibility for specific aspects. This may not meet the entire integrated water resources management (IWRM) vision of the plan but provided the plan is developed in such a way that incremental implementation will be beneficial then this will produce some success and may stimulate further cooperation. 相似文献

Multistakeholder collaboration in the environmental realm has been increasing steadily over the past decade. This trend is
responding to several stimuli, including dissatisfaction with current regulatory regimes, a liberal economic climate emphasizing
global competitiveness and short-term returns, and the growing roles of the business and nongovernmental organization sectors
in the environmental policy arena. This paper grows out of ethnographic research conducted between 1994 and 1998 with four
environmental partnerships in Europe and the United States. The research found all of these partnerships to be marked by practices
of conflict minimization and diffusion. Drawing upon illustrative data from one of these case studies, a European Union level
initiative aimed at enabling sustainable development in Europe, the paper asks why this was the case, especially given the
diverse political and economic interests at stake and the history of contentious relations between the sectors in other venues.
Employing a theoretical perspective highlighting the sociohistoric factors involved in these processes, the paper suggests
that this proclivity toward nonconfrontational behavior stems in part from two sources: a prominent cultural model that conceptualizes
the partnership process as fundamentally nonconflictual in nature, and the promotion of the discourse of ecological modernization
over other competing discourses. The paper explores some of the implications of this finding and concludes that environmental
partnerships characterized by such nonconfrontational practices risk inadvertently encouraging the delegitimization of conflictual
approaches to environmental action and engendering a retreat from radical thinking and innovative environmental solutions. 相似文献

Initiatives in the Neponset, Ipswich, and Sudbury-Assabet-Concord watersheds highlight how watershed-scale innovation in engaging
nongovernment participants is influenced, but not dominated, by the statewide program, the Massachusetts Watershed Initiative.
The presence or absence of three elements—external support, process, and issue—and the order in which they occur, shape the
viability of collaborative watershed-scale management initiatives. External support includes providing personnel or funding
from outside an initiative. Process is the interaction among individuals undertaking watershed-wide policy development and/or
implementation. An issue is an attention-requiring concern, vital to a watershed, that can most effectively be addressed by
a coordinated strategy among different parties. A process generated by an issue is sustainable and amenable to enhancement
through external support. The contribution of external support is most apparent when outside assistance is provided after
an issue has crystallized into clear problem needs that can be addressed through specific research projects or implementation
activities. Process is central in shaping issues, utilizing external support, and generating management results. The outcomes
of voluntary processes in the three watershed initiatives highlight how the evolution of the Massachusetts Watershed Initiative
leads to, and depends upon, the development of watershed-scale initiatives. 相似文献

Because ecosystem approaches to management adhere to ecological systems rather than human-defined boundaries, collaboration across jurisdiction, agencies, and land ownership is often necessary to achieve effective management of transboundary resources. Local natural resource and land use planners increasingly recognize that while ecosystem management requires looking beyond specific jurisdictions and focusing on broad spatial scales, the approach will partly be implemented at the local level with the coordination of local policies across larger landscapes. This article evaluates the collective capabilities of local jurisdictions to manage large transboundary ecological systems in Florida. Specifically, it combines plan evaluation with geographic information systems (GIS) techniques to map, measure, and analyze the existing mosaic of management across selected ecosystems in the southern portion of the State. Visual and statistical results indicate significant gaps in the management framework of southern Florida that, if filled, could achieve a greater level of consistency and more complete coverage of ecosystem management policies. Based on the spatial distribution of 58 ecosystem management indicators, notable gaps persist in the southwest coast, southeast coast, and central Everglades ecosystems, particularly for wildlife corridors and collaboration with neighboring jurisdictions. We also test for spatial autocorrelation of ecosystem planning scores and find that local jurisdictions with strong ecosystem management capabilities tend to cluster within specific ecosystems. Based on the findings, we make recommendations on how and where local plans can be strengthened to more effectively attain the objectives of ecosystem approaches to management. 相似文献

This paper describes a public participation exercise in which stakeholders used an approach based on multiattribute utility
analysis to select a site for a hazardous waste management facility. The key to success was the ability to separate and address
two types of judgments inherent in environmental decisions—technical judgments regarding the likely consequences of alternative
choices and value judgments regarding the importance or seriousness of those consequences. The approach enabled technical
specialists to communicate the essential technical considerations and allowed stakeholders to establish the value judgments
for the decision. Although rarely used in public participation, the multiattribute utility approach appears to provide a useful
framework for the collaborative resolution of complex environmental decision problems. 相似文献

Why do some community-based natural resource management strategies perform better than others? Commons theorists have approached this question by developing institutional design principles to address collective choice situations, while other analysts have critiqued the underlying assumptions of community-based resource management. However, efforts to enhance community-based natural resource management performance also require an analysis of exogenous and endogenous variables that influence how social actors not only act collectively but do so in ways that respond to changing circumstances, foster learning, and build capacity for management adaptation. Drawing on examples from northern Canada and Southeast Asia, this article examines the relationship among adaptive capacity, community-based resource management performance, and the socio-institutional determinants of collective action, such as technical, financial, and legal constraints, and complex issues of politics, scale, knowledge, community and culture. An emphasis on adaptive capacity responds to a conceptual weakness in community-based natural resource management and highlights an emerging research and policy discourse that builds upon static design principles and the contested concepts in current management practice. 相似文献

Unmanaged recreation presents a challenge to both researchers and managers of outdoor recreation in the United States because
it is shrouded in uncertainty resulting from disagreement over the definition of the problem, the strategies for resolving
the problem, and the outcomes of management. Incomplete knowledge about recreation visitors’ values and relationships with
one another, other stakeholders, and the land further complicate the problem. Uncertainty and social complexity make the unmanaged
recreation issue a wicked problem. We describe the wickedness inherent in unmanaged recreation and some of the implications
of wickedness for addressing the problem for the Front Range of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado. Conclusions about the nature
of the problem are based on a problem appraisal that included a literature review and interviews of key informants. Addressing
wickedness calls for institutional changes that allow for and reward the use of trust building, inclusive communication, and
genuinely collaborative processes. 相似文献
