“…There are signs that such an "adversarial" approach has reversed over time. Paradigmatic examples are the emergence of new co-management literature (Berkes 1994, Frey et al 2016 or recent calls to dig deeper into the specifics of hybrid modes of governance (Lemos and Agrawal 2006, Driessen et al 2012, Villamayor-Tomas et al 2019. A question for further research is whether the trend unveiled here corresponds with a qualitative change in the way the trichotomy communities-government-markets is addressed.…”

“…For example, road safety for vulnerable users, pedestrians and cyclists reduces injuries, improves environmental quality and promotes an equitable distribution of space. According to Villamayor-Tomas et al (2019), local resource users tend to act together, as a group with common interests, when they desire to improve their individual welfare. In the cases studied, associations of civil society that represent interests in the active mobility issue play an important role in shaping the model, based on characteristics for the interpretation of innovation in services.…”

Our study focuses on the challenges facing sustainable urban mobility in the megacity of Sao Paulo. We aim to explore the panorama of active mobility initiatives, proposing to analyze the relationship between urban commons and innovation in public services. We selected the Reduced Speed Zone and Complete Street initiatives, which aim to improve road safety conditions (public services focused on common infrastructure), active mobility and access to public transport, and may also potentially help to reduce noise levels, improve air quality (social dilemmas/ common issues/negative externalities) and reduce greenhouse gas emissions (global commons). Based on an analytical model for interpreting innovation in services, considering competences and techniques originating from the provider (municipal government) and users (through civil society organizations), our findings identified innovations at a local level within infrastructure treatment for pedestrians. These public services were introduced in a participatory process and a collective re-appropriation of urban space. The projects contribute to the development of service provider competences, related to various interactions with civil society, resulting in a systemic view with regard to the uses, local dynamics and behavioral aspects of the users themselves. Service provider techniques may be both temporary and permanent intervention methodologies, besides methodologies for project impact evaluations. These techniques are associated with tactical urbanism as a technique for temporary urban interventions. User techniques were identified for application of the propensity score-matching method, which aims to evaluate the impacts of an instance of intervention through the comparison of groups, as well as through technical inspections and local interviews. The relationship management generated relational and organizational competences for civil society organizations. However, despite the advances indicated by the analyzed experiences of active mobility-highlighting the role of civil society organizations-and by some progress made in the regulatory framework, innovative practices have been restricted to the treatment of infrastructure for pedestrians, a change of speed limit for vehicles, and horizontal signaling to mark the perimeter of these areas. Therefore, there is a large-scale potential for the continued introduction of innovations regarding the improvement and scale gains of public services for pedestrian mobility, promoting participatory restructuring as a form of (re)appropriation of urban public spaces by its own users, improving the current negative externalities and social costs of urban mobility.

“…It also demonstrates how NASS can be integrated with the Politicized IAD framework to explain change with respect to processes, like problem framing, that lie outside of the tradition of boundedrationality. It provides new pathways for Narrative Policy Framework research on the role of story-telling in motivating policy change (Jones & McBeth, 2010), the study of value controversies as a driver of learning in action situations (Milchram, Märker, Schlör, Künneke, & van de Kaa, 2019), and research occupied by the challenge of understanding collective action under conditions where configurations of bundles of policies are necessary to effectively address complex collective action problems around environmental or social problems (Villamayor-Tomas, Thiel, Amblard, Zikos, & Blanco, 2019).…”

Problem Framing Influences Linkages Among Networks of Collective Action Situations for Water Provision, Wastewater, and Water Conservation in a Metropolitan Region

Collective action problems are linked together when the outcomes of one collective action situation affect the working components of another. In San Diego, California, solutions to the collective action dilemmas of water provisioning, conservation, and wastewater were found to have influenced each other between 1990 and 2010. Building upon a database of water management-related action situation outcomes, developed from archival documents and interviews with water managers, environmental groups, and other participants, we used McGinnis' Network of Adjacent Action Situations framework and the Politicized IAD framework to analyze how the emergence of different problem frames affected linkages between these three collective action problems. Our research shows that newly introduced frames for thinking about these water management challenges as interconnected contributed to the progressive emergence of new governance strategies by different groups of actors.
