“…Material dependencies can be affected by shock directly and indirectly. The shock can create scarcity and alter landscapes [92][93][94], or it might divert the attention of actors in governance to other resources, places and infrastructures that might now appear worth focusing on [95,96]. A war can focus the attention on self-sufficiency or on conquering someone else's oil reserves.…”

In this paper, we present a framework for the analysis of shock and conflict in social-ecological systems and investigate the implications of this perspective for the understanding of environmental governance, particularly its evolutionary patterns and drivers. We dwell on the distinction between shock and conflict. In mapping the relation between shock and conflict, we invoke a different potentiality for altering rigidity and flexibility in governance; different possibilities for recall, revival and trauma; and different pathways for restructuring the relation between governance, community and environment. Shock and conflict can be both productive and eroding, and for each, one can observe that productivity can be positive or negative. These different effects in governance can be analyzed in terms of object and subject creation, path creation and in terms of the dependencies recognized by evolutionary governance theory: path, inter-, goal and material dependencies. Thus, shock and conflict are mapped in their potential consequences to not only shift a path of governance, but also to transform the pattern of self-transformation in such path. Finally, we reflect on what this means for the interpretation of adaptive governance of social-ecological systems.

“…The Dutch situation, with powerful planning capacities and the availability of various land use instruments, shows that the way in which governance capacity is used is strongly conditioned by dominant discourses on spatial planning and the issue at hand. The presence of particular discourses and their dominance in governance can be understood as path-dependencies that hamper the development of alternative futures and the search for strategies that differ from those that actors are familiar with (Deacon et al, 2018;Van Assche et al, 2017). This is for example the case with the discourse on planning as a stimulator and facilitator of (economic) development.…”

Planning strategies for dealing with population decline: Experiences from the Netherlands

2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper explores the selection and implementation of planning strategies and land use instruments for dealing with population decline in three different regions in the Netherlands. The study shows that each region developed very specific responses that can be explained by the different discourses that dominated planning and policymaking in that region. Although the perceptions about population decline, its consequences and suitable responses are strongly context specific, in all three regions responsible governments deemed it necessary to adapt existing policies and plans and to tailor strategies to a situation with population decline. The study also shows that ideas about using planning as a tool to stimulate economic growth prevail in the studied regions, but that it are precisely these ideas that hamper the development and implementation of policies for dealing with population decline. The paper also illustrates how Evolutionary Governance Theory can be useful for explaining why regions take different routes in dealing with population decline and for analysing the different dependencies that influence the selection of strategies.

“…Sociale veerkracht en natuurlijke veerkracht kunnen niet altijd verzoend worden, maar hun verhouding kan wel voor een deel bijgeschaafd en bijgestuurd worden. Elke vorm van sociale organisatie is een vorm van risico-management, inclusief de risico's die voortkomen uit het bestaan in en gebruik van een bepaalde fysieke omgeving (Deacon et al, 2018). De ecologische veerkracht die in zijn algemeenheid goed is voor mensen -aangezien instorting van ecosystemen meestal een slechte zaak is voor ons-kan anderzijds grote schade berokkenen voor specifieke vormen van menselijke organisatie.…”

Dit technical report gaat in op kenmerken en mechanismen van veerkracht in de relatie mens-natuur. Hierin wordt aandacht besteed aan sociale veerkracht en ecologische veerkracht en hun wisselwerking. Vanuit systeemtheorie is de verbinding gelegd met ecologische en sociologische theorieën over veerkracht. Via een veertigtal minicases en drie uitgebreide cases zijn mechanismen van veerkracht geanalyseerd en bijeengebracht in een conceptueel kader. Aan de sociale kant spelen emotie, perspectiefwisseling en kennis een belangrijke rol in het ontstaan van een veerkrachtige beweging. Qua natuur gaat het om de vestiging van dieren en planten in de stedelijke omgeving, waarbij klimaatverandering en veranderend beheer een rol spelen. Het onderzoek maakt duidelijk dat ook het beleid adaptief en veerkrachtig moet zijn om de kracht in de samenleving voor natuur en bescherming van biodiversiteit te benutten. Tevens geeft het inzicht in het beroep op een veerkrachtige samenleving in de Europese biodiversiteitsstrategie, met een eerste duiding van kansen en risico's.
