PurposeThis paper aims to: first, it studies expert opinions about the future of clean, decentralized energy technology in Australia; second, develop an interpretive and participatory foresighting methodology for a forthcoming study.Design/methodology/approachThis paper reports a forecasting study about the future of clean energy. Driven mostly by economics and changing carbon policies, the energy sector is currently moving from fossil fuels to a variety of cleaner technologies. Energy experts have several incommensurate interpretations of how this change will happen. This paper describes the first phase of an ongoing study that foresight clean energy futures in Australia. By building on a participatory method in a scientific expert community, it describes the path from technological presumptions into four parallel yet interconnected scenarios. The paper also explores the social drivers behind these scenarios.FindingsFirst, energy experts in Australia classify futures into four main scenarios: abundant, where energy will be mostly produced by solar cells; traded, where the future of energy lies in virtual power plants and microgrids; circular, which targets Australia’s NetZero goals through biomaterials, carbon capture and new powerful; secure, which secures the country’s energy supply through coal and nuclear energy. Second, they locate policy as the most important form of wildcards. The policy is multilayered from local to US politics and falls outside the scope of forecasting.Research limitations/implicationsThe most important limitations of the study are: first, its reliance on scientific and technological experts, which guarantees its scientific validity but may underrepresent the social drivers of energy; second, this study is a methodological pilot of a larger study that will target industrial, commercial and local drivers; third, its focus on Australia, where politics, the size of the country and climate shape the uptake of clean energy in specific ways, most notably in the case of rapid uptake of solar energy.Practical implicationsThe main practical implications of the paper are its broad focus on clean energy futures and its participatory foresighting approach, which can be repeated in other studies.Social implicationsThe main social implication of the study is that it clearly shows that a technological perspective is necessary but not sufficient in understanding the future of clean energy. The paper also shows that local drivers importantly mold the future and should be taken into account in future studies and policy.Originality/valueThis paper makes two contributions. First, it organizes several technologies into four scenarios that clarify Australia’s clean energy futures better than a piecemeal study would do. Second, it developed and piloted an interpretive participatory methodology for studying futures by building on references from design research. This methodology will be used in subsequent studies.
目的本文旨在:首先,研究专家对澳大利亚清洁、分散能源技术未来的看法;其次,为即将进行的研究开发一种解释性和参与性的前瞻性方法。设计/方法/途径本文报道了一项关于清洁能源未来的预测研究。在经济和不断变化的碳政策的推动下,能源部门目前正从化石燃料转向各种清洁技术。能源专家对这种变化将如何发生有几种不可通约的解释。本文描述了一项正在进行的研究的第一阶段,该研究展望了澳大利亚的清洁能源未来。通过建立在科学专家社区的参与式方法之上,它描述了从技术假设到四个平行但相互关联的场景的路径。本文还探讨了这些场景背后的社会驱动因素。发现首先,澳大利亚的能源专家将期货分为四种主要情景:充足,能源主要由太阳能电池生产;交易,能源的未来在于虚拟发电厂和微电网;循环,通过生物材料、碳捕获和新的强大功能实现澳大利亚的NetZero目标;安全,通过煤炭和核能确保国家能源供应。其次,他们将策略定位为最重要的通配符形式。该政策从地方到美国政治都是多层面的,不在预测范围内。研究局限性/含义研究最重要的局限性是:首先,它依赖科学和技术专家,这保证了它的科学有效性,但可能低估了能源的社会驱动力;其次,这项研究是一项针对工业、商业和地方驱动因素的更大规模研究的方法试点;第三,它将重点放在澳大利亚,那里的政治、国家规模和气候以特定的方式影响着清洁能源的使用,尤其是太阳能的快速使用。实际含义本文的主要实际含义是其对清洁能源未来的广泛关注及其参与式前瞻方法,这可以在其他研究中重复。社会含义该研究的主要社会含义是,它清楚地表明,在理解清洁能源的未来方面,技术视角是必要的,但还不够。论文还表明,地方驱动因素对未来的塑造非常重要,在未来的研究和政策中应该考虑到这一点。这篇论文有两个贡献。首先,它将几种技术组织成四种场景,比零碎的研究更能阐明澳大利亚的清洁能源未来。其次,它通过借鉴设计研究的经验,开发并试行了一种解释性参与式的未来研究方法。该方法将用于后续研究。

PurposeThe purpose of this paper is to nurture reflections on the colonization of the future in the present with a particular focus on Africa. This paper aims at exploring how participatory research and particularly anticipatory action research can contribute to a decolonising process.Design/methodology/approachConsidering the future as a public good, this paper develops a reflection on the colonization processes that can turn it into a club or a private good. This paper mobilizes the notions of participatory knowledge production and local action research as a way to decolonize the future and empower imagination. This paper revisits the tenets of participatory action research as a means to achieve this objective and discusses the main features of a non-colonial anticipatory action research in the context of African futures.FindingsThis paper highlights the challenges associated with connecting anticipatory endeavours focusing on action research, the creation of collective intelligence and co-design, with the intention of encouraging the decolonisation process. It includes design principles and anticipates a possible process of counter-decolonization.Research limitations/implicationsThis is a conceptual paper, which does not provide field-tested evidence. Yet, the authors hope it serves as an input enabling to design methodologies that will prevent the colonisation of the future when engaging in future-oriented research activities in Africa and elsewhere.Originality/valueThis paper provides an integral approach to the colonisation of the future, as a renewed old question. This paper also connects this process with a reflection on the nature of what could be non-colonizing anticipatory action research.
目的本文的目的是培养对当前未来殖民化的思考,特别关注非洲。本文旨在探讨参与性研究,特别是预期行动研究如何有助于非殖民化进程。设计/方法论/方法考虑到未来是一种公共产品,本文对可以将其变成俱乐部或私人产品的殖民化过程进行了反思。本文调动了参与式知识生产和地方行动研究的概念,以此作为未来非殖民化和增强想象力的一种方式。本文重新审视了参与性行动研究作为实现这一目标的手段的原则,并讨论了非洲未来背景下非殖民预期行动研究的主要特征。发现本文强调了将专注于行动研究、创造集体智慧和共同设计的预期努力与鼓励非殖民化进程联系起来所面临的挑战。它包括设计原则,并预测了反非殖民化的可能过程。研究局限性/含义这是一篇概念性论文,没有提供经过实地测试的证据。然而,作者们希望,在非洲和其他地方从事面向未来的研究活动时,它能成为设计方法的一种投入,防止未来的殖民。原创性/价值本文作为一个新的老问题,为未来的殖民提供了一个完整的方法。本文还将这一过程与对非殖民化预期行动研究性质的反思联系起来。

Situating futures literacies in the Colombian educational system: a decolonizing theoretical model 哥伦比亚教育体系中未来文学的定位:一个非殖民化的理论模型
IF 2 Q3 REGIONAL & URBAN PLANNING Pub Date : 2022-07-15 DOI: 10.1108/fs-12-2021-0246
C. Anderson, R. David
PurposeThis paper aims to present a theoretical model for restructuring Colombia’s educational initiatives in response to current socioeconomic needs. More equitable and decolonized education could help learners decouple their capacities to imagine the future from colonialized paradigms, thereby opening spaces for more active engagement in their own futures.Design/methodology/approachThe authors take a critical, postmodern approach focused on empowering people to transcend constraints from a colonial past and recognizing that the purpose of knowledge, although reflecting power and social relationships, is to help people improve society. Notions of situated and futures literacies nourish an approach toward a decolonized and glocalized educational model.FindingsThe current Colombian educational system tends to favor a single focus – local, national or international – at the expense of the others. The authors argue that educational policy and planning should account for three realms of knowledge: locally situated literacies, nationally situated literacies and globally situated literacies.Originality/valueDeconstructing obsolete and colonized methodologies could not only help prepare Colombian learners for active engagement both within and beyond their modern-day borders but could also help transform other educational systems originally designed to support societies and economies that no longer exist, including those of the Global North.
本文旨在提出一个理论模型,以调整哥伦比亚的教育举措,以应对当前的社会经济需求。更加公平和非殖民化的教育可以帮助学习者将他们想象未来的能力与殖民化的范式脱钩,从而为更积极地参与自己的未来开辟空间。设计/方法/方法作者采取了一种批判性的后现代方法,专注于赋予人们超越殖民历史限制的权力,并认识到知识的目的,尽管反映了权力和社会关系,但却是帮助人们改善社会。现状和未来的文化观念滋养了一种非殖民化和全球本土化的教育模式。目前哥伦比亚的教育体系倾向于单一的重点——本地的、全国的或国际的——而牺牲了其他的。作者认为,教育政策和规划应该考虑到三个知识领域:地方文化、国家文化和全球文化。原创/价值解构过时和殖民的方法不仅可以帮助哥伦比亚学习者在其现代边界内外积极参与,还可以帮助改变其他教育系统,这些系统最初旨在支持已不复存在的社会和经济,包括全球北方的社会和经济。

PurposeThe purpose of this study is threefold: to pilot research on the role that trauma-healing and resilience play in developing futures consciousness/literacy; to explore how this informs the coloniality of sexuality; and to engage economically marginalised young gay and bisexual men in exploring future scenarios for the wider LGBTQI+ community in Kenya.Design/methodology/approachThis study used participatory action research to pilot the study. Workshop sessions focused on exploratory futures using an integral futures framework. Futures tools used consisted of the futures triangle, polak game and a two-by-two matrix scenario building exercise.FindingsParticipants found that previous psychosocial support and mental health counselling enabled them to address past traumas, find healing and begin a productive journey of unpacking their understanding of agency and engage with developing personal and communal futures thinking – all prerequisites for effectively addressing decoloniality.Originality/valueThis research represents the only study of the four-way intersection of trauma-healing, futures consciousness/literacy, the queer community in Africa and decoloniality and coloniality of sexuality.
目的本研究的目的有三个:初步研究创伤愈合和复原力在发展未来意识/识字方面的作用;探讨这是如何影响性的殖民性的;并让经济上被边缘化的年轻同性恋和双性恋男性参与肯尼亚更广泛的LGBTQI+社区的未来场景探索。设计/方法/方法这项研究使用参与式行动研究来试点这项研究。讲习班的重点是利用一个完整的未来框架探索未来。使用的期货工具包括期货三角形、波尔克游戏和二乘二矩阵场景构建练习。发现参与者发现,以前的心理社会支持和心理健康咨询使他们能够解决过去的创伤,找到治愈方法,开始一段富有成效的旅程,打开他们对代理的理解,并参与发展个人和社区的未来思维——所有这些都是有效解决非殖民化问题的先决条件。独创性/价值这项研究是对创伤愈合、未来意识/识字、非洲酷儿社区以及性的非殖民化和殖民性的四方交叉点的唯一研究。

PurposeThis paper aims to present the case for critical realism (CR) as a framework in steering the anticipatory and participatory activities an appropriate analysis of complex problems, aiming toward a transformative change.Design/methodology/approachThrough observation, interview and facilitation for Circular Design Lab and Thai Clean Air Network, this paper unpacks their foresight activities, their key findings and subsequently connects to the Morphogenesis analysis based on an alternative foresight epistemology of CR.FindingsForesight based on CR philosophy provides a deeper understanding of the complexity and invisibility of air pollution issues in Thailand. Acknowledging the transitive reality beyond this study’s perception, the activity design applies the iceberg models to investigate problem framing and illustrate the stratified reality in three domains: the empirical based on emission reports and legislative regulations; the actual based on patterns of farmers practice and industrial development, activated by causal mechanisms; the real based on structural and mental models, driven by cultural and belief systems in Thailand. At the bottom layer of the iceberg, the real lies the generative mechanisms of pre-existing structural and cultures that constrain Thai citizen from acting on social change.Research limitations/implicationsCR’s emancipatory theory provides an immanent critique towards social improvement by illustrating comprehensive causal explanations of complex problems such as air pollution; while morphogenesis theory elaborates on the unconscious domination of the existing social structures, agencies, and cultures. Thus, the ethical inquiry of CR research is committed to the emancipation of false beliefs and creating conditions for “human prosperity”. However, this non-neutral value commitment is debated in the futures studies field.Practical implicationsThe anticipatory activities on air pollution in Thailand bring to light the reality of power and oppression beyond human perception and illustrate the connection to the belief systems and its consequential action or lack thereof in dealing with the issues. The insight to power relationship provides an unconventional way to empower citizens in creating transformative change.Originality/valueModern foresight practice has developed under western cultures and societies. Recent efforts are made to investigate the epistemology underlying this field, for the future issues are ever more complex and interrelated across multiple sectors. This requires this study’s consideration of the meaning of knowledge and knowing, influencing the research paradigm. This paper proposes CR as a suitable foresight approach to emancipate this study from the widely accepted epistemologies and examine this study’s presupposition about social reality by a philosophical explanation based on the elements of ontology, causation, structure and persons.
目的本文旨在提出批判现实主义(CR)作为指导预期和参与活动的框架,对复杂问题进行适当分析,以实现变革。设计/方法论/方法通过对循环设计实验室和泰国清洁空气网络的观察、采访和协助,揭示了他们的前瞻活动,他们的主要发现,并随后与基于CR的替代前瞻认识论的形态发生分析相联系。基于CR哲学的芬丁斯前瞻使我们对泰国空气污染问题的复杂性和隐蔽性有了更深入的理解。活动设计承认了超出本研究认知范围的可传递现实,应用冰山模型研究问题框架,并在三个领域说明了分层现实:基于排放报告和立法法规的实证;基于农民实践和产业发展模式的实际,由因果机制激活;真实的基于结构和心理模型,由泰国的文化和信仰体系驱动。在冰山的底层,真正的问题在于先前存在的结构和文化的生成机制,这些机制限制了泰国公民对社会变革采取行动。研究局限性/含义CR的解放理论通过对空气污染等复杂问题的全面因果解释,为社会进步提供了内在的批判;而形态发生理论则阐述了对现有社会结构、机构和文化的无意识支配。因此,CR研究的伦理探究致力于解放虚假信仰,为“人类繁荣”创造条件。然而,这种非中性价值承诺在期货研究领域却存在争议。实际含义泰国关于空气污染的预期活动揭示了人类感知之外的权力和压迫的现实,并说明了与信仰体系的联系及其在处理这些问题时的相应行动或缺乏。洞察权力关系为公民创造变革提供了一种非传统的方式。独创性/价值现代远见实践是在西方文化和社会的影响下发展起来的。最近的努力是研究这一领域的认识论,因为未来的问题在多个领域越来越复杂和相互关联。这就需要本研究对知识和认识的意义进行思考,影响研究范式。本文提出CR作为一种合适的前瞻性方法,将本研究从广泛接受的认识论中解放出来,并通过基于本体论、因果关系、结构和人等要素的哲学解释来检验本研究对社会现实的预设。

Awakening the unconscious imagination and igniting ethical aspirations: the case of Hiraya Foresight via the engaged foresight approach 唤醒无意识的想象力和点燃伦理愿望:通过参与式预见方法的平屋预见案例
IF 2 Q3 REGIONAL & URBAN PLANNING Pub Date : 2022-07-12 DOI: 10.1108/fs-11-2021-0237
S. Cruz, Nicole Anne Kahn-Parreño
PurposeThis paper aims to introduce, unpack, explore, make sense and share Hiraya Foresight via the Engaged Foresight approach as a futures concept, framework and methodology to reconceptualize foresight and reframe anticipatory processes to enable the self and communities to reimagine visions of the future. This indigenous foresight process offers to strip the husk and break the shell of conscious, colonial anticipation and reveal and liberate unconscious imagination that enables ethical aspirations to emerge.Design/methodology/approachThis paper introduces and examines the context, purpose and process of the four waves of the Hiraya Foresight Framework via the Engaged Foresight approach.

PurposeThis paper aims to identify the aspects that social actors consider in constructing shared futures in communities. In their application in emerging countries, especially in the Global South, the socio-cultural particularities of communities and actors are often overlooked, generating friction or social conflicts. This paper presents two critical elements contributing to the debate: the importance of understanding Social Actors within a model of generating community futures in emerging countries; and the relevant factors that influence the actors in an exercise of building futures in communities.Design/methodology/approachFrom qualitative research, a case study of community foresight of the future was used: the future of Puerto Gaitán 2037 (Meta, Colombia). A method of information collection was applied from observation of the participants and analysis of documentation. The analysis method was the deductive qualitative analysis (DQA).FindingsThe participation of the social actors presents a model of five relevant elements that influence the actors for the successful construction of futures in communities. The first four factors, revealed from theory, are presented in real life. Likewise, a fifth factor is proven, Long-term thinking, which is evidenced by a model of application of futures studies for the specific context, applicable to the case of communities in countries of the Global South.Originality/valueAlthough there are isolated examples of recommendations regarding studies to generate the future of communities, to the best of the author’s knowledge, this is the first study that presents concrete factors that contribute to guiding the construction of community futures from social actors, especially in countries of the Global South such as Colombia. It is also one of the first studies to use the DQA as a method of analysis in a topic of futures studies.
本文旨在确定社会行为者在构建社区共享未来时所考虑的方面。在新兴国家,特别是在全球南方国家应用这些方法时,往往忽视了社区和行动者的社会文化特点,从而产生摩擦或社会冲突。本文提出了促成辩论的两个关键因素:在新兴国家创造社区未来的模式中理解社会行动者的重要性;以及在构建社区未来的过程中影响参与者的相关因素。设计/方法/方法从定性研究中,使用了社区未来远见的案例研究:Puerto Gaitán 2037的未来(哥伦比亚Meta)。通过对参与者的观察和文献的分析,采用了信息收集的方法。分析方法为演绎定性分析(DQA)。社会行为者的参与提出了一个影响行为者成功建设社区未来的五个相关要素的模型。前四个因素,从理论上揭示出来,在现实生活中呈现出来。同样,第五个因素也得到了证明,即长期思考,这是一个适用于全球南方国家社区的具体情况的未来研究应用模式所证明的。原创性/价值虽然有一些孤立的关于产生社区未来的研究建议的例子,但据作者所知,这是第一个提出具体因素的研究,这些因素有助于指导社会行为者构建社区未来,特别是在哥伦比亚等全球南方国家。这也是首次在期货研究的课题中使用DQA作为分析方法的研究之一。

Purpose

The first aim of this study is to show the impact of global warming on temperature and precipitation changes in Algeria. The second objective is to exhibit the strategy planned by the country to mitigate these effects on water resources in the future.

Design/methodology/approach

This research assesses the expected changes in temperature, precipitation and SPEI index, over Algeria (16 weather stations), between two horizons (2030, 2050), by using an ensemble of 16 general circulation models under RCP2.6 and RCP8.5 scenarios.

Findings

More warming and drought will be experienced under RCP8.5 than RCP2.6 scenario. The highest warming is observed at the Southern stations. However, the lowest precipitation is projected in the western stations. The results of SPEI calculation indicate that the severity of drought spread progressively across time and space. The highest values were observed over 2050 with values varied between 0.15 and −2.08 under RCP2.6 scenario, and range from −0.73 to −2.63 under RCP8.5. These results indicate that Algeria is highly vulnerable to the impact of climate change on water resources, which stressed the need to develop a strategy against this situation.

Originality/value

This study is one of the first to simulate the future climate changes over 16 Algerian weather stations by using an average of 16 general circulation models data, under two RCP scenarios. This study shows the 2030 water development strategy to mitigate the effect of drought and water scarcity on different sectors.

本研究的第一个目的是显示全球变暖对阿尔及利亚温度和降水变化的影响。第二个目标是展示该国为减轻未来对水资源的这些影响而规划的战略。本研究利用RCP2.6和RCP8.5情景下的16个大气环流模式集合,评估了阿尔及利亚(16个气象站)在2030年和2050年两个水平(2030年和2050年)的温度、降水和SPEI指数的预期变化。研究发现:与RCP2.6情景相比,RCP8.5情景将经历更多的变暖和干旱。升温幅度最大的是南站。而西部站点的预估降水最少。SPEI计算结果表明,干旱严重程度在时间和空间上呈渐变分布。在2050年观测到的最大值在RCP2.6情景下在0.15 ~ - 2.08之间,在RCP8.5情景下在- 0.73 ~ - 2.63之间。这些结果表明,阿尔及利亚非常容易受到气候变化对水资源的影响,这强调了制定应对这种情况的战略的必要性。独创性/价值本研究是首次利用16个环流模式数据的平均值,在两种RCP情景下模拟阿尔及利亚16个气象站未来气候变化的研究之一。本研究展示了缓解干旱和缺水对不同部门影响的2030年水资源发展战略。

Global scenarios under crises: the case of post COVID-19 era 危机下的全球情景:以后COVID-19时代为例

PurposeCOVID-19 pandemic has significantly influenced human society; statistics have shown many countries ended 2020 with minimal or even negative economic growth. This pandemic proved that development biased to economic issues without considering other factors such as social and environmental is not sustainable, and it can even be the source of the crisis. This paper aims to discover plausible alternative futures at the macrolevel where nations, businesses and societies can change routines, and approach to a better peaceful future.Design/methodology/approachTo accomplish this, trends emerged after the COVID-19 pandemic are studied and some uncertainties are identified. At the intersections of uncertainties, scenarios are shaped based on the Global Business Network (GBN) methodology. GBN helps to draw macrolevel images about plausible futures. The main uncertainties rose from three different but interconnected natures including: approach to the globalization (social perspective), approach to the concept of value (business perspective) and approach to the governance (states/governance perspective). Each uncertainty can take two extreme alternatives; consequently, eight scenario spaces with different probability are formed by the intersection of alternatives. Then the most favorable scenario is introduced and strategies are proposed to achieve a better future.FindingsIn the current paradigm in which countries will sacrifice the environment for economic growth in the race to rapidly rebuild their economy, concerns for the post-COVID-19 will continue to mount. While, in the favorable scenario, value creation is sought in sustainable development. This means deviation from a favorable scenario to achieve short-term goals is completely predictable. Although we have learned that the COVID-19 pandemic is controllable and manageable as time goes by, but no effort or commitment has been seen in the governments to eradicate the COVID-19 sources (at least till today).Originality/valueThe main originality of this research appeared in the practical aspect. This paper analyzes and projects scenarios at the global level and studies challenges that societies, governments and businesses are facing in the modern world with biased development paradigms. Moreover, different viewpoints to deal with global crisis are assessed and criticized.
目的新冠肺炎疫情对人类社会产生了重大影响;统计数据显示,许多国家在2020年底的经济增长幅度很小,甚至为负。这场疫情证明,不考虑社会和环境等其他因素而偏向经济问题的发展是不可持续的,甚至可能是危机的根源。本文旨在发现宏观层面上可行的替代未来,国家、企业和社会可以改变惯例,走向更美好的和平未来。设计/方法/方法为了实现这一点,研究了新冠肺炎大流行后出现的趋势,并确定了一些不确定性。在不确定性的交叉点,场景是基于全球商业网络(GBN)方法形成的。GBN有助于绘制关于合理未来的宏观图像。主要的不确定性来自三种不同但相互关联的性质,包括:全球化方法(社会视角)、价值概念方法(商业视角)和治理方法(国家/治理视角)。每种不确定性都可能有两种极端的选择;因此,由备选方案的交集形成了八个不同概率的场景空间。然后介绍了最有利的场景,并提出了实现更美好未来的策略。发现在当前的模式下,各国将在快速重建经济的竞赛中牺牲环境来促进经济增长,对新冠肺炎疫情后的担忧将继续加剧。而在有利的情况下,在可持续发展中寻求价值创造。这意味着偏离有利情景以实现短期目标是完全可以预测的。尽管我们已经了解到,随着时间的推移,新冠肺炎大流行是可控和可管理的,但政府没有做出任何努力或承诺来消除新冠肺炎的源头(至少到今天为止)。独创性/价值这项研究的主要独创性出现在实践方面。本文分析和预测了全球层面的情景,并研究了社会、政府和企业在具有偏见的发展范式的现代世界中面临的挑战。此外,对应对全球危机的不同观点也进行了评价和批评。
