The coastal zone environment is facing challenges such as marine pollution, biodiversity loss, and the decline in ecological functions. To address these complex interlinked environmental problems, it particularly important to build an effective collaborative governance network for environment. aim of this study explore functioning environment, analyze interactive relationships among different stakeholders, examine structure functions network. First, thesis reviews relevant literature on governance, elaborates theories constructs theoretical research framework. Subsequently, Dongtou area Wenzhou, a typical representative cooperative East China Sea, was selected part exploratory case study. role positioning interaction modes actors local governments, social organizations, enterprises, citizens were analyzed detail, between nodes, structure, investigated. found that successful protection based joint action four operational mechanisms: trust mechanism, coordination learning guarantee mechanism. Based above analysis, paper summarizes key elements building efficient proposes strategies improve efficiency governance. This introduces novel framework analyzing structural functional aspects networks combines analysis with qualitative insights. methodological innovation enables more comprehensive understanding network’s mechanisms, also contributes by identifying factors determine success networks. It offers actionable recommendations policy makers practitioners, emphasizing importance solid stakeholders leveraging their resources achieve sustainable outcomes.

Abstract Research Through Design (RTD) needs to reconsider the meaning of “designing” in research process “through design.” We propose Co-design (RTC) as a new application Control System Theory (CST) that includes problem assigned co-design RTD. It embeds participatory paradigm through collaborative design practice and makes for learning from all participants. To sustain RTC theory, we present cognitive model RTC. is “model for” – rather than of” describing how co-design, neural network process, works its nodes’ collaboration find co-designed solutions answer. Diversity increases non-experts non-designers with different backgrounds participate. This valuable system. The discussions highlight possibility considering (i) useful robust RTD CST; (ii) explaining value processes; (iii) strategy applying participative formal research. Finally, insights implications are highlighted, including using predictive tool artificial intelligence.

ABSTRACT Maintaining soil health is essential to ensuring an adequate food supply and preserving the environment. Insights from multiple stakeholder inquiries can provide a more nuanced understanding of conditions for support adoption sustainable management practices meet national regional goals. This article aimed gather insights stakeholders' perceptions state knowledge in Denmark. Seven inquiries, collected through series recent European research activities, were synthesised identify health, concerns about challenges needs harmonising production use related management. Each inquiry was analysed individually, common themes discussed across topics. The data showed that ecosystem service framework not evenly familiar categories. Identified included climate change effects, transfer, economic pressure/risk, challenges. top ‘priority’ identified improving organic matter/peat soil, avoiding compaction nutrient retention/use efficiency. Soil gaps included: multidisciplinary interdisciplinary long‐term experiments, site‐specific measures, science–policy–stakeholder interactions feasibility at farm level. barriers preventing wider applicability practices, farmers' engagement, sharing lack regulations such as compaction. Farmers also concerned time effort required learn new especially it relates their work/life balance challenge implementing on commercial farms while profitability. These might partially arise between Raising awareness addressing current future risks pests weather extremes are crucial policy engagement.

Traditional health practitioners (THPs) are recognised for their roles in maintaining indigenous knowledge and cultural practices, providing healthcare local communities, however they have received less recognition as custodians of the environment. Representations THPs being responsible wildlife losses has resulted perceptions that traditional conservation sectors working opposition. We argue THPS underrepresented environmental governance need to be included decision-making. A two-day workshop with South African was held explore role can play reducing consumption. Our findings highlighted THPs’ misconceptions hindering trust collaboration sector, importance place on biodiversity protection. Workshop attendees wanted greater communication between THPs, conservationists, decision makers; rectify regarding product usage. In this short we aim open important dialogues sector Africa advocate a more collaborative way forward making.
