蓝色增长的势头正在增强，为经济发展开辟了新的领域，对沿海社区和海景可能产生负面影响。蓝色增长项目对社区和海景的影响一般通过狭隘的技术或经济方法来理解，这些方法侧重于沿海景观的潜在损失或对财产价值的贬值影响，忽视了社区与海景的复杂关系。这些方法往往将不可量化的社区-海景关系从蓝色增长战略中剔除，导致社区沮丧和争执。了解社区与海景的关系是制定更符合当地需要的蓝色增长战略的关键。我们将海景概念化为一个包含感知、构思和生活维度的三元空间。这些维度对社区如何体验和应对争执产生了影响。我们使用参与式照片启发方法，与爱尔兰西海岸的两个社区团体一起，了解在面临多重蓝色增长压力的地方如何发生争执，以及社区部署的应对机制。我们发现，尽管社区非常关心沿海和海上发生的变化，并将他们的“共同”景观框定为值得捍卫的文化资产，但社区实践仍然无能为力，或者专注于与特定的蓝色增长发展项目短暂的对立。然而，这些回应还不够有力，不足以充分动员针对主导增长模式的可持续解决方案。我们建议，如果社区得到适当的支持，投资于知识、技能、网络和资产，他们就可以动员更可持续的解决方案，以应对威胁其沿海海景和文化遗产的主导增长模式。最后，我们强调了社区居住空间的变革潜力，而不是作为一种不同类型的沿海景观的描述，而是作为一种资源，以了解受多重压力影响的社区如何理解他们的选择、抵抗能力以及他们对沿海未来的目标可能是什么。
Blue Growth is gaining momentum, opening up new frontiers for economic development, with potentially negative impacts on coastal communities and seascapes. The impact of Blue Growth projects on communities and seascapes is generally understood through narrow technical or economic approaches that focus on the potential loss of coastal views or the depreciating impacts on property values, ignoring the complex relationships communities have with seascapes. These approaches often dislodge non-quantifiable community-seascape relationships from Blue Growth strategies, leading to community frustration and contestation. Understanding community-seascape relationships is key to developing more locally attuned Blue Growth strategies. We conceptualise seascapes as a triadic space incorporating perceived, conceived and lived dimensions. These dimensions have an impact on how communities experience and respond to contestation. We use a participatory photo-elicitation methodology with two community groups on the west coast of Ireland to understand how contestation occurs in places faced with multiple Blue Growth pressures and the mechanisms communities deploy in response. We find that although communities care deeply about changes taking place at the coast and sea and frame their ‘common’ landscapes as cultural assets that are worthy of defence, community practices remain impotently emotional or focused on ephemeral oppositions to specific Blue Growth developments. Such responses, however, are not strong enough for sufficiently mobilising a sustainable solution to dominant growth models. We suggest that if communities are properly supported to invest in knowledge, skills, networks and assets, they can mobilise more sustainable solutions to dominant growth models that threaten their coastal seascapes and cultural heritage. Finally, we highlight the transformative potential of the lived space of communities, not as a descriptor of a different typology of coastal landscape, but rather as a resource to understand how communities affected by multiple pressures can understand their options, capacity to resist and what their goal might be for the future of the coast.
