Abstract

This paper presents a research framework to analyse the role of Social Innovations more comprehensively in addressing ‘grand societal challenges’ and related regional development issues. Based on the assumption that Social Innovations are particularly suited to tackling the ‘grand societal challenges’ and thus raising regional endogenous potentials, the framework comprises Regional Innovation Systems, Social Innovation and Resonance Theory acknowledging both structural and individual drivers for spatially embedded Social Innovation activities. We first portray these strands separately. Second, we identify and describe the links between them. Third, we combine them in an integrated framework suitable to analyse Social Innovation development and its regional sway. This framework consists of different conceptual layers, which are related by people, firms and further stakeholders acting within their regional networks. It contributes to conceptual clarity and suggestions for empirical operationalisation. Finally, its empirical application facilitates formulating options of actions regarding Social Innovations for promoting regional development.

将 "共鸣 "作为促进社会创新的关键因素的 RIS 框架

本文提出了一个研究框架，以更全面地分析社会创新在应对 "重大社会挑战 "和相关地区发展问题中的作用。基于社会创新特别适合应对 "重大社会挑战"，从而提高区域内生潜力的假设，该框架由区域创新系统、社会创新和共振理论组成，同时承认结构性和个体驱动力对空间嵌入式社会创新活动的影响。我们首先分别描绘这些方面。其次，我们确定并描述它们之间的联系。第三，我们将它们结合到一个综合框架中，以分析社会创新的发展及其区域影响。该框架由不同的概念层组成，这些概念层之间的关系是通过人、企业和其他利益相关者在其区域网络中的行动来实现的。它有助于明确概念，并为经验操作提供建议。最后，其经验应用有助于制定有关社会创新的行动方案，以促进区域发展。

期刊介绍： Regional Science Policy & Practice (RSPP) is the official policy and practitioner orientated journal of the Regional Science Association International. It is an international journal that publishes high quality papers in applied regional science that explore policy and practice issues in regional and local development. It welcomes papers from a range of academic disciplines and practitioners including planning, public policy, geography, economics and environmental science and related fields. Papers should address the interface between academic debates and policy development and application. RSPP provides an opportunity for academics and policy makers to develop a dialogue to identify and explore many of the challenges facing local and regional economies.
