Abstract

The implementation of local sustainability policies is often hampered by differences between multi-level policy goals and the development priorities of local stakeholders. This study evaluates how an assessment of the differences between public, national, and international sustainable development priorities, such as the SDGs, might inform inclusive sustainability policies at the local level. Specifically, this paper aims to demonstrate the use of multi-stakeholder goal-alignment assessment through content analysis and public opinion surveys administered in three cities across Henan Province, China. The findings 1) draw from the systematic assessment of stakeholder priorities to identify three typologies of goal-alignment or misalignment that have implications for the design of initiatives that offer co-benefits and for the mediation of trade-offs in meeting sustainability goals, and 2) demonstrate an integrative approach to developing urban sustainability policies and programs using both top-down prescriptive sustainability goals and human-centered experiential priorities.
协调利益相关者的目标:对包容性城市可持续发展的影响
地方可持续发展政策的实施往往受到多层次政策目标与地方利益相关者发展重点之间差异的阻碍。本研究评估了公众、国家和国际可持续发展优先事项(如可持续发展目标)之间的差异评估如何为地方层面的包容性可持续发展政策提供信息。具体而言,本文旨在通过在中国河南省三个城市开展的内容分析和民意调查,展示如何使用多利益相关方目标一致性评估。研究结果包括:1)通过对利益相关者优先事项的系统性评估,确定了目标一致或不一致的三种类型,这些类型对设计提供共同利益的倡议以及在实现可持续发展目标过程中的权衡具有影响;2)展示了一种综合方法,即同时使用自上而下的规定性可持续发展目标和以人为本的体验性优先事项来制定城市可持续发展政策和计划。

期刊介绍: Environmental Development provides a future oriented, pro-active, authoritative source of information and learning for researchers, postgraduate students, policymakers, and managers, and bridges the gap between fundamental research and the application in management and policy practices. It stimulates the exchange and coupling of traditional scientific knowledge on the environment, with the experiential knowledge among decision makers and other stakeholders and also connects natural sciences and social and behavioral sciences. Environmental Development includes and promotes scientific work from the non-western world, and also strengthens the collaboration between the developed and developing world. Further it links environmental research to broader issues of economic and social-cultural developments, and is intended to shorten the delays between research and publication, while ensuring thorough peer review. Environmental Development also creates a forum for transnational communication, discussion and global action. Environmental Development is open to a broad range of disciplines and authors. The journal welcomes, in particular, contributions from a younger generation of researchers, and papers expanding the frontiers of environmental sciences, pointing at new directions and innovative answers. All submissions to Environmental Development are reviewed using the general criteria of quality, originality, precision, importance of topic and insights, clarity of exposition, which are in keeping with the journal''s aims and scope.
