Abstract
Employing advanced statistical methods on qualitative data, this study explores territorial clusters of municipality leaders (ML) and educational leaders (EL) in Hungary, based on their sustainability priorities. It assesses how these clusters influence stakeholder engagement strategies and decision-making across local, national, and global scales. The analysis reveals synergies and divergences between ML and EL, emphasizing their combined potential in addressing the socio-economic and environmental facets of sustainability. The findings highlight the importance of collaborative ML and EL efforts in fostering systemic change underscoring the pivotal role of local actors in multilevel governance for sustainable development.
本研究采用先进的定性数据统计方法,根据匈牙利市政领导人(ML)和教育领导人(EL)的可持续发展优先事项,探讨了他们的地域集群。研究评估了这些集群如何在地方、国家和全球范围内影响利益相关者的参与战略和决策。分析揭示了 ML 和 EL 之间的协同作用和差异,强调了它们在解决可持续发展的社会经济和环境问题方面的综合潜力。研究结果强调了在促进系统性变革方面开展协作性 ML 和 EL 工作的重要性,强调了地方行动者在促进可持续发展的多级治理中的关键作用。
