摘要

在三角洲地区,防洪建设和大规模土地复垦是培育三角洲软土的首选水管理策略。在过去的几十年里,河流堤防、上游水坝、土地开垦和地下水的使用都在加剧,并日益导致下沉。此外,由于执行这些战略的机构获得了技术技能、知识和大量财政资源,它们的影响也得到了加强。因此,在主导技术和制度的制约下,下沉的三角洲地区陷入了双重锁定,无法向更长期可持续的方向发展。本文介绍并说明了亚洲、欧洲和美国三角洲地区的9个锁定因素。为了更好地理解研究人员和实践者可以做些什么来解决双重锁定问题,本文提出了一个荷兰下沉城市豪达的实际案例,该城市正在寻求更可持续的战略和制度。本文最后提出了改变双锁定结构的三个步骤:(1)了解锁定;(二)临时绕过;(3)形成一种新的、更可持续的锁定。应与当地专家在面向行动的研究方案中进一步调查这些步骤,并以下沉三角洲的政策进程和人类行为为目标。

Sinking deltas: trapped in a dual lock-in of technology and institutions
ABSTRACT In delta areas, flood protection structures and large-scale land reclamation are preferential water management strategies to cultivate soft delta soils. Over the past decades, river embankments, upstream dams, land reclamation, and groundwater use have intensified, and increasingly contribute to subsidence. In addition, the influence of institutions implementing these strategies has strengthened as they have acquired technical skills, knowledge, and vast financial resources. Sinking deltas are therefore trapped in a dual lock-in as dominating technology and institutions act as constraints to moving into a more long-term sustainable direction. Nine factors for the lock-in are introduced and illustrated for delta regions in Asia, Europe, and the US. To gain a better understanding of what researchers and practitioners can do to address the dual lock-in, a practical case is presented of Gouda, a Dutch subsiding city in search of more sustainable strategies and institutions. The paper ends with three steps to change the configuration of a dual lock-in: (1) getting to know the lock-in; (2) temporarily bypassing it; and (3) constituting a new, more sustainable lock-in. These steps should be further investigated in action-oriented research programmes with local experts, and targeted to policy processes and human behaviour in the sinking deltas.
