INTEGRATIVE RESEARCH AND TRANSDISCIPLINARY KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION: A REVIEW OF BARRIERS AND BRIDGES

摘要: Contemporary policies about use of natural resources clearly pronounce sustainable development towards the goal sustainability as a focal objective. A key challenge for research is to support improvements and management by evaluation policy implementation, i.e. outcomes on ground social process in actual landscapes. However, while landscape consists integrated ecological subsystems should thus be treated holistic unit or system, most postgraduate training disciplinary. This means that very few researchers are equipped solve problems contribute solutions non-academic world. There need universities learn integrative (interdisciplinary transdisciplinary) knowledge production meets complex challenges related issues example governance resources. In this paper I review background, concepts barriers bridges production. As base projects propose normative model processes. was done through literature study an project. discuss how transdisciplinary landscapes can designed, viz. (1) there common understanding different types research, (2) outspoken aim develop socially robust knowledge, (3) collaborative learning processes, (4) funding scheme include academic participants matches long partnership building during full process, from problem identification/definition improvement solution.
