摘要
从理论上讲,粮食-能源-水(FEW)关系被认为是提高系统复原力和可持续性的一种方法。然而,在实践中,人们对哪些治理因素会导致粮食-能源-水(FEW)关系合作的经验性理解却很有限。本研究的目的是调查城市在抗灾规划中与 FEW nexus 合作的相关条件:是资源不安全的风险,还是已有的治理机制,抑或两者兼而有之?本研究采用模糊集定性比较分析法对美国 22 个隶属于抗灾城市网络的城市进行了分析。结果表明,粮食、能源和水的不安全不足以解释抗灾规划中的 FEW 关系合作。然而,研究结果确实表明,在以下城市的抗灾规划中存在 FEW 关系合作:(a) 确实存在水不安全问题,并且采用了三个调查治理条件中的两个--政策一致性、利益相关者参与或机构支持--或 (b) 无论是否存在水不安全问题,采用了所有三个治理条件的城市。研究得出结论,资源不安全的风险本身不足以解释城市与水资源之间关系合作的实施情况,并为在实践中加强与水资源之间关系合作提供了政策建议。
Pathways for FEW nexus collaboration in U.S. city resilience planning
The food-energy-water (FEW) nexus has been argued as an approach to improve system resilience and sustainability theoretically. However, there is limited empirical understanding of which governance factors lead to FEW nexus collaboration in practice. The purpose of this study is to investigate the conditions associated with FEW nexus collaboration in cities in resilience planning: does it arise from risk of resource insecurity, pre-existing governance mechanisms, or both? The study analyzed the 22 cities in the United States that are part of the Resilient Cities Network using fuzzy-set Qualitative Comparative Analysis. The results show that food, energy, and water insecurity are not sufficient to explain FEW nexus collaboration in resilience planning. However, the results do show that FEW nexus collaboration is present in resilience planning in (a) cities that do experience water insecurity and employ two of three investigated governance conditions—policy coherence, stakeholder participation, or institutional support—or (b) that employ all three governance conditions, regardless of whether or not they experience water insecurity. It concludes that the risk of resource insecurity alone is not sufficient to explain cities’ implementation of FEW nexus collaborations and provides policy recommendations for increased FEW nexus collaboration in practice.

期刊介绍:
Ecology and Society is an electronic, peer-reviewed, multi-disciplinary journal devoted to the rapid dissemination of current research. Manuscript submission, peer review, and publication are all handled on the Internet. Software developed for the journal automates all clerical steps during peer review, facilitates a double-blind peer review process, and allows authors and editors to follow the progress of peer review on the Internet. As articles are accepted, they are published in an "Issue in Progress." At four month intervals the Issue-in-Progress is declared a New Issue, and subscribers receive the Table of Contents of the issue via email. Our turn-around time (submission to publication) averages around 350 days.
We encourage publication of special features. Special features are comprised of a set of manuscripts that address a single theme, and include an introductory and summary manuscript. The individual contributions are published in regular issues, and the special feature manuscripts are linked through a table of contents and announced on the journal''s main page.
The journal seeks papers that are novel, integrative and written in a way that is accessible to a wide audience that includes an array of disciplines from the natural sciences, social sciences, and the humanities concerned with the relationship between society and the life-supporting ecosystems on which human wellbeing ultimately depends.
