Abstract

Academic and socio-political interest in sustainability transitions, which are decades-long change processes in socio-technical systems, is rapidly increasing. To further engage with this topic, this essay suggests that project studies should continue its trend of conceptual broadening that has characterised the field in the past decade. Using the Multi-Level Perspective on socio-technical transitions as a meta-framework, this essay identifies and discusses the important roles of incremental improvement projects, exploratory projects, deployment projects, reorientation projects, and decommissioning projects in sustainability transitions. The essay also discusses crossovers with socio-technical transitions research and makes specific conceptual suggestions for broadening research on the different kinds of projects, programmes and portfolios.

拓宽项目研究,解决可持续性过渡问题:概念建议以及与社会技术转型研究的交叉点
可持续性转型是社会技术系统长达数十年的变革过程,学术界和社会政治界对这一问题的兴趣正在迅速增长。为了进一步探讨这一主题,本文建议项目研究应继续保持过去十年中该领域的概念拓宽趋势。本文以社会技术转型的多层次视角为元框架,确定并讨论了渐进式改进项目、探索性项目、部署项目、重新定位项目和退役项目在可持续性转型中的重要作用。文章还讨论了与社会技术转型研究的交叉问题,并提出了具体的概念建议,以拓宽对不同类型项目、计划和组合的研究。
