Abstract

: Both sustainability and planning require interdisciplinary approaches. Moreover, an interdisciplinary approach is required to the sciences contributing to planning for sustainable local communities. Nevertheless, current criteria governing science, particularly career promotion and research funding, overemphasize the contribution of research to scientific progress and economic growth, disregarding its societal impact. The new European framework research program and Romanian strategy for research promise a change. In order to meet this need, the current study aims to respond to this challenge by analyzing two examples of disciplines contributing to sustainable local development, yet disadvantaged by the previous strategies. We analyzed qualitatively urban/landscape ecology and humanistic geography based on their presence and representation in data from the Romanian Classification of Occupations, criteria used in academic and research career advancement, and funding programs, and phrased some recommendations for helping the development of similar research areas in the future.

科学指标是否有利于可持续发展?具有社会影响的学科立场
可持续性和规划都需要跨学科的方法。此外,需要对有助于规划可持续地方社区的科学采取跨学科的办法。然而,目前管理科学的标准,特别是职业晋升和研究经费,过分强调研究对科学进步和经济增长的贡献,而忽视了它的社会影响。新的欧洲框架研究计划和罗马尼亚研究战略有望带来改变。为了满足这一需求,本研究旨在通过分析两个学科的例子来应对这一挑战,这些学科有助于当地的可持续发展,但却因以前的战略而处于不利地位。我们定性分析了城市/景观生态学和人文地理学,基于它们在罗马尼亚职业分类数据中的存在和代表性,学术和研究职业发展的标准,以及资助计划,并提出了一些建议,以帮助未来类似研究领域的发展。
