outline • Classification of views • Methodological tools • Social innovation • Adaptive governance • Conclusion
classification of views Mechanistic • Disturbance (balance) • Equilibrium • Path-dependent • Slow and steady (Direct tips) • Within the same variable Evolutionary • Adaptation (change) • Adaptive resilience • Path- breaking/altering • Minor but continuous (Contextual tips) • Among different variables
methodological tools Periodization • Space and time • Conjunctures • Moments • Structural • Emblematic • Turning • Transformation and reproduction Collapse • Place, time, environment • Systems interaction • Gradual shift • Risks and uncertainties • Relationships between past and future
social innovation • Self-conscious collective action to address unsatisfied needs and support alternatives • In place-based terms (Moulaert et al 2005): • satisfaction of needs • social relations • empowerment • A factor of change socio-ecological transition
adaptive governance • A response to urban growth social impacts ecological stress • Interface: public policy, civil society, biophysical • Social learning and adaptive management • Adaptive cycles: exploitation, conservation, creative destruction, and renewal • socio-ecological complexity: variety, adapt, transform
