ToC development and use can help in the design of transdisciplinary research to build trust and accountability in the research process. We present an online process\u0000 for ToC facilitation and offer guidance to collaboratively build a ToC for transdisciplinary research.Transdisciplinary research (TDR) aims to solve problems in complex systems by drawing from a range of methods and expertise to contribute to change processes. Theories of Change (ToCs)\u0000 are well-suited to support TDR design and implementation, but they rarely achieve their full potential. In practice, ToCs are often compromised by insufficient engagement with the context, weak theoretical bases, poor articulation, and a lack of iteration. This paper presents a process for\u0000 ToC design based on the authors’ experience facilitating ToC development for research planning and evaluation. We illustrate the process using an in-progress TDR example on patient-oriented cancer care research. The approach begins by framing the social and research problems and then\u0000 identifies activities and outputs, key actors, outcomes, and underlying causal assumptions. Skilled facilitation and strong conceptual familiarity are key to effectively mobilize ToC concepts into a cohesive and testable model to refine a strategy with TDR stakeholders. Key considerations\u0000 and resources are offered to enhance ToC development planning and facilitation.","PeriodicalId":49073,"journal":{"name":"Gaia-Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-05-20","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"42416565","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, this requires overcoming existing barriers and providing appropriate framework conditions. Based on an analysis of 295 German and US start-ups using\u0000 data science to create positive environmental impacts, we identify six main obstacles to a greater use of data science for sustainable transformation, and propose six measures that can be used to formulate policy recommendations.This paper examines the intersections between the hoped-for\u0000 shift toward a green economy and data science (various forms of big data analytics and artificial intelligence). It does so through an analysis of data science applications with environmental relevance developed or deployed by German and US start-ups. The majority of the data science applications\u0000 identified seek to improve the efficiency of existing products and processes, or to provide information. Applications that support more fundamental transformations of existing production and consumption patterns are fewer in number. To increase the sustainability-related impact of data science,\u0000 it seems necessary to adjust policy framework conditions. Based on our findings, recommendations for action are presented regarding sustainability-related changes of the legal and regulatory framework conditions.","PeriodicalId":49073,"journal":{"name":"Gaia-Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"48624963","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Based on an empirical study, we show the potentials and limits of using new data for monitoring urban sustainability and especially the Sustainable Development\u0000 Goals.The latest debate on smart cities and sustainability is underpinned by the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda and their accompanying Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), which place urban data and monitoring systems at the forefront. Therefore, there is a strong\u0000 need to assess the data-driven capabilities that will help achieve the SDGs. To fill the capability gaps between existing tools and SDG indicators, new smart city data sources are now available. However, scant indicators and assessment criteria have been empirically validated.\u0000 This paper identifies some of the challenges alongside the potential of using new local data in urban monitoring systems. A case study of an SDG monitoring platform implementation in a district of Berlin is examined, and the results show that the use of locale-specific, and unofficial\u0000 data not only improves data availability, but it also encourages local public participation. Based on our empirical findings, we determine that the incorporation of new data for urban sustainability monitoring should be treated as a complex social process.","PeriodicalId":49073,"journal":{"name":"Gaia-Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"44565245","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

This bias is mirrored in blind spots in the public discourse and the political debate. The sustainable transformation\u0000 of society calls for more comprehensive research ‐ and research funding ‐ to fill the gaps and integrate efficiency, consistency, and sufficiency strategies on the levels of life-cycle, enabling, and structural effects.In order to govern processes of digitalization for the\u0000 purpose of the common good, it is important to understand the opportunities and risks of information and communications technology (ICT) for a sustainable transformation of society. In this article, we systematically review 215 publications from the ICT for Sustainability (ICT4S) conference\u0000 corpus in order to investigate the state of debate. We analyze to what extent research covers sustainability implications of ICT, 1. regarding different levels of actions and effects, as well as 2. regarding the three different strategies of sustainability ‐ efficiency, consistency,\u0000 and sufficiency. We find that ICT4S research has a one-sided focus on digital efficiency improvements and on life-cycle impacts of ICT devices and applications. There is far less research on digitalization’s potential to advance sufficiency-oriented practices, and questions of\u0000 how to foster digital sustainability transformations at macro- and structural level are only marginally treated. We draw conclusions for funding and science politics.","PeriodicalId":49073,"journal":{"name":"Gaia-Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43038881","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

However, as our case studies also show, these potentials are not fully exploited yet as augmented reality is not yet used in all\u0000 planning phases.Sustainable urban development requires innovative approaches and concepts that involve people not only in planning processes but also in influencing the design of urban space. Modern formats, such as augmented reality (AR), can help to increase the motivation for participation\u0000 and present different planning concepts more realistically through different forms of visualization. Based on case studies in Vienna, Austria, and Lucerne, Switzerland, we examine AR applications in planning participation and discuss the innovative nature of these applications. We show that\u0000 the use of AR not only increases the motivation of the population to participate in planning processes but also increases the quality of participation processes and can, thus, trigger a sustainable transformation of cities.","PeriodicalId":49073,"journal":{"name":"Gaia-Ecological Perspectives for Science and Society","volume":" ","pages":""},"PeriodicalIF":1.6,"publicationDate":"2023-03-13","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"43070482","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":4,"RegionCategory":"社会学","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
