摘要

摘要中介机构是协助可持续发展转型的行动者。中介机构将自己定位在不同群体之间,从而连接、翻译和促进不同群体之间的信息流动。在本文中,我们重点介绍了地方当局雇用的淡水中介机构的作用,并询问这些中介机构如何帮助社区改善淡水质量。为了回答这个问题,我们介绍了三个淡水中介机构的案例研究,这些中介机构致力于改善新西兰奥特亚霍克湾地区的淡水质量。我们的研究结果表明,如果中介机构有时间和资源与社区建立长期关系,并且能够使淡水中介机构的工作与区域和国家淡水政策目标同步,他们就可以帮助社区改善淡水质量。最后,我们认为,淡水中介工作在新西兰土地和水资源管理中被低估了,导致地方和中央政府试图通过日益规范和复杂的法规政策来解决淡水质量问题。论文最后总结了新西兰淡水中介机构的一些具体经验教训。

Employing intermediaries to achieve freshwater quality improvements: lessons from catchment groups in Aotearoa New Zealand
ABSTRACT Intermediaries are actors who assist with sustainability transitions. Intermediaries connect, translate, and facilitate flows of information between different groups by positioning themselves between these groups. In this paper we focus on the roles of freshwater intermediaries who have been employed by local authorities and ask how these intermediaries help communities achieve freshwater quality improvements. To answer this question, we present three case studies of freshwater intermediaries working to improve freshwater quality in the Hawke’s Bay region of Aotearoa New Zealand (NZ). Our results suggest that intermediaries can help communities improve freshwater quality if they are given the time and resources to establish long-term relationships with communities, and if they are able to synchronise freshwater intermediary work with regional and national freshwater policy objectives. We conclude by arguing that freshwater intermediary work has been undervalued in NZ land and water management, resulting in local and central government attempting to resolve freshwater quality concerns through increasingly prescriptive and complex policy in regulations. Some specific lessons for use of freshwater intermediaries in New Zealand conclude the paper.

期刊介绍: The Australasian Journal of Water Resources ( AJWR) is a multi-disciplinary regional journal dedicated to scholarship, professional practice and discussion on water resources planning, management and policy. Its primary geographic focus is on Australia, New Zealand and the Pacific Islands. Papers from outside this region will also be welcomed if they contribute to an understanding of water resources issues in the region. Such contributions could be due to innovations applicable to the Australasian water community, or where clear linkages between studies in other parts of the world are linked to important issues or water planning, management, development and policy challenges in Australasia. These could include papers on global issues where Australasian impacts are clearly identified.
