Abstract

This paper describes the intervention strategy to improve water security in Sultanpur, a village in periurban Gurgaon, India. Most approaches to improving natural resource management in periurban contexts focus on mobilising the community; little attention is paid to reorienting the state or strengthening the user-bureaucracy interface. This paper describes the action research process that was followed to reorient civic agencies engaged in the provisioning of water and to break from a situation of distrust and prisoners' dilemma between water users and service providers. The paper argues that the creation and provision of a platform for direct engagement between water users and service providers can be a key tool for improving periurban water security. These platforms can provide support in building community resilience to face challenges such as climate variability and urbanisation, both of which threaten periurban water security. The action research emphasises on building the community's capacity to ask for improved water supply and to negotiate with state service providers, rather than augmenting water supply physically.
走少有人走的路:为城市周边的水安全重新定位
本文介绍了印度古尔冈城郊村庄Sultanpur改善水安全的干预策略。改善城市周边地区自然资源管理的大多数方法侧重于动员社区;很少有人关注重新定位国家或加强用户-官僚界面。本文描述了行动研究过程,该过程是为了重新定位从事供水的民间机构,并打破用水者和服务提供者之间的不信任和囚徒困境。本文认为,创建和提供一个供用水用户和服务提供者直接参与的平台可以成为改善城郊水安全的关键工具。这些平台可以为建立社区抵御气候变化和城市化等挑战的能力提供支持,这些挑战都威胁着城市周边的水安全。行动研究强调建立社区要求改善供水和与国家服务提供者谈判的能力,而不是实际增加供水。

期刊介绍: Action Research is a new international, interdisciplinary, refereed journal which is a forum for the development of the theory and practice of action research. Our purpose with this international, peer reviewed journal is to offer a forum for participative, action oriented inquiry into questions that matter--questions relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, that enable them to flourish in their organizations and communities, and that evince a deep concern for the wider ecology. The aim of the journal is to offer a viable alternative to dominant "disinterested" models of social science, one that is relevant to people in the conduct of their lives, their organizations and their communities.
