Outline of Final Research Achievements

This research proposes a novel perspective known as“boundary spanning practice”for sustainability studies based on field research and practice. This viewpoint aims to encompass various boundaries between administrative sectors, academic disciplines, government and nongovernmental actors, and researchers and other stakeholders in the pursuit of collaborative solutions and governance-building for sustainability challenges. This research argues that governance in the context of collaborative solutions to sustainability challenges can be defined as the“reflective process to realize a creative and emergent way of governance in bringing various types of knowledge into try-and-error practices, while stakeholders who participate in task solution shares a common vision of their collaboration.”Moreover, it also asserts that a researcher who conducts action research can play a significant role in developing such a method of governance as a stakeholder.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

持続可能性課題の協働解決のような複雑で不確実な状況下での試行錯誤によるプロセスは、これまで個別事例の経験として語られることはあっても、共通の言語と概念によってあまり可視されてこなかった「暗黙知」の領域であるが、本研究はそこに「越境的実践」(バウンダリースパニング)という切り口から光を当てることができた。また本研究で明らかにした越境的実践のメカニズムは、協働解決の現場で実践のあり方に迷いや行き詰まりを感じている人びと、解決の現場に向かう際に周囲の不理解や抵抗にあって打開策を探っている人びと、さらにはこれから協働解決の現場に飛び込もうとしている人びとにとって実践的な指針やヒントとなる可能性がある。
