摘要

社区花园越来越被认为是社会生态学习和创新的关键节点,特别是在后社会主义城市中,应对历史遗产和当代城市挑战。本研究探讨了自下而上、自上而下和混合治理模式如何影响波兰克拉科夫社区花园的包容性、生态适应性和长期可持续性。通过在三个不同地点进行的定性研究——一个基层倡议(Salwator),一个市政主导的项目(Pychogród)和一个混合模式(雅盖隆大学校园)——本文探讨了治理安排与社会生态结果之间的相互作用。采用民族志观察、半结构化访谈、共同设计研讨会和行动研究来捕捉治理动态和花园作为变革性基础设施的演变作用。研究结果表明,基层倡议促进了强大的社区所有权和灵活的生态实践,但面临着与资源不稳定和志愿者疲劳相关的挑战。相反,自上而下的模式提供了结构上的安全和制度上的支持,但由于限制了地方机构,有疏远参与者的风险。以雅盖隆大学校园花园为例的混合方法,将制度合法性与参与性过程相结合,促进包容性决策和生态实验,尽管它们努力维持流动人口的参与。研究结果强调了适应性治理框架的必要性,以平衡机构支持与社区代理之间的关系,特别是在后社会主义城市背景下,社会信任支离破碎,公民参与不均衡。通过将社区花园概念化为社会生态基础设施,本研究有助于理解城市食物系统如何将可持续性目标与当地文化和环境特征相结合。研究结果为决策者、城市规划者和实践者提供了可行的见解,旨在利用社区花园的变革潜力来应对更广泛的可持续性挑战。

Governance models and the socio-ecological role of community gardens in post-socialist Krakow
Community gardens are increasingly recognized as critical nodes for socio-ecological learning and innovation, particularly in post-socialist cities navigating historical legacies and contemporary urban challenges. This study investigates how governance models -bottom-up, top-down, and hybrid - influence the inclusivity, ecological adaptability, and long-term sustainability of community gardens in Krakow, Poland. Drawing on qualitative research conducted across three distinct sites - a grassroots initiative (Salwator), a municipally-led project (Pychogród), and a hybrid model (Jagiellonian University Campus) - this paper explores the interplay between governance arrangements and socio-ecological outcomes. Ethnographic observations, semi-structured interviews, co-design workshops, and action research were employed to capture governance dynamics and the evolving role of gardens as transformative infrastructures. Findings reveal that grassroots initiatives foster strong community ownership and flexible ecological practices, yet face challenges related to resource instability and volunteer fatigue. Conversely, top-down models provide structural security and institutional support but risk alienating participants by limiting local agency. Hybrid approaches, exemplified by the Jagiellonian University Campus garden, blend institutional legitimacy with participatory processes, fostering inclusive decision-making and ecological experimentation, although they grapple with sustaining engagement amidst transient populations. The results underscore the necessity of adaptive governance frameworks that balance institutional support with community agency, particularly in post-socialist urban contexts characterized by fragmented social trust and uneven civic engagement. By conceptualizing community gardens as socio-ecological infrastructures, this study contributes to understanding how urban food systems can integrate sustainability goals with local cultural and environmental specificities. The findings offer actionable insights for policymakers, urban planners, and practitioners aiming to harness the transformative potential of community gardens to address broader sustainability challenges.

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.
