“…predevelopment, take-off, acceleration and stabilisation) (Rotmans et al, 2001) adds a temporal component to the MLP for the understanding of system changes. In addition to these structural and temporal dimensions, Raven (2012) proposes explicitly to include the spatial dimension of socio-technical systems in the MLP and Debizet et al (2016) 10/25 introduce socio-spatial factors to reveal local and non-local relationships between regime and niches in urban energy systems.…”

System innovation for sustainability requires a systemic and interdisciplinary approach. To support these complex and long-term transitions, decision support tools are required but nowadays, assessment tools are disciplinary and consider mainly material flows with environmental or economical perspectives. These tools provide helpful quantitative information for system (re)-design but often miss the temporal or spatial dimensions of a project and do not sufficiently consider the value creation system they propose to evaluate. This communication presents a conceptual framework for territorial project analysis. It enables the spatio-temporal analysis of stakeholder networks during a project. This framework considers tangible and intangible resources flows between the project's stakeholders and their territory to examine how an initiative can emerge , mobilise territorial assets and create sustainable values in return. This process takes place at the meso level (territory) and create dynamic interactions with the micro-level (organisations and individuals) and the macro-level (regulations and institutions).

Current assessment tools are mainly disciplinary and support the assessment of material flows in terms of environmental impacts or economical flows, for example. These tools provide helpful quantitative information for system (re)-design but do not explicitly question the value creation factors and their embeddedness in a specific socio-spatial context. This article underlines that innovation for sustainability requires more complexity and a system and multidisciplinary approach. A dynamic material and immaterial resource flows model coupled with extended scorecard to support both the analysis and structuration of territorial projects may be of great support to better understand, qualify and quantify the different kinds of resources revealed, mobilized or denied during a project. This communication focuses on the model development and the cross-fertilization of industrial, sociological and geographical disciplines for system transition analysis. Even if this model is still under development, it appears to strengthen strategic analysis, as it enables both the representation of the tangibles and intangible assets mobilized during the emergence and structuration of territorial projects (e.g. business model transition to functional economy) and sustainability assessment of existing projects (e.g. industrial and territorial ecology projects).

“…The paper by Isenhour and Feng, 2016 makes a plea for consumption-based CO2 emission indicators to account for the embodied energy exported from China to Sweden. The third paper, authored by Debizet et al, 2016 uses actor-network theory to explore the role of Socio-Energy Nodes in the transition to renewable energy systems in municipalities in France.…”
