在利用研究来解决21世纪不断升级的环境问题时，包括参与性过程、几个学术学科以及其他广泛的认识方式已经变得越来越普遍。这些努力的成功存在障碍。本文提出了自适应系统方法(ASA)。ASA旨在为与可持续发展问题、流域问题和自然资源开发相关的研究提供一条明确的途径，并为改善生态健康和社会正义成果带来变化。ASA的设计基于三个关键概念：复杂的社会生态系统、跨学科和变革性社会学习，以及作为理论上一致的操作过程的战略适应管理。我们确定了这些概念和战略适应性管理之间的逻辑联系，从而使ASA成为一条连贯和实用的研究和实践途径。然后概述了ASA过程，以支持吸收和更广泛的应用。我们在一个合作的非洲研究项目中展示了ASA Prxis的发现，该项目考虑了七个国家的河流流域问题，其中关键的背景学习导致认识到有效研究影响结果的五个障碍：(1)缺乏整合的概念基础。(2)参与性利益相关者参与因认知性不公正而存在缺陷。(3)跨学科团队建设不到位。(4)学习、反思和系统适应纳入不足。(5)夸大了在创造改变以改善生态健康和社会正义方面可能产生的影响。我们反思了ASA为突破这些障碍所做的贡献。从ASA实践中获得的早期关键经验使我们认为，ASA对于寻求公平和可持续河流管理途径的决策者、从业者和研究人员具有实用价值，更广泛地说，在自然资源开发方面。
It has become increasingly common to include participatory processes, several academic disciplines, and additional wide‐ranging ways of knowing, in using research to tackle the escalating environmental problems of the 21st Century. There are barriers to the success of these efforts. In this paper we present the Adaptive Systemic Approach (ASA). The ASA is designed to provide a clear pathway for research related to sustainability issues, river basin problems and natural resource development, and to deliver change towards improved ecological health and social justice outcomes. The design of the ASA rests on three key concepts: complex social‐ecological systems, transdisciplinarity, and transformative social learning, together with Strategic Adaptive Management as the theoretically consistent operational process. We identify logical connections between the concepts and Strategic Adaptive Management so that the ASA emerges as a coherent and practical research and praxis pathway. The ASA process is then outlined to support uptake and wider application. We present findings from ASA praxis in a collaborative African research program considering river basin problems in seven countries, where key contextual learnings led to the recognition of five barriers to effective research impact outcomes: (1) Lack of an integrative conceptual grounding. (2) Participatory stakeholder engagement flawed by epistemic injustice. (3) Inadequate transdisciplinary team building. (4) Insufficient inclusion of learning, reflection, and systemic adaptation. (5) Inflated claims of probable impact in terms of creating change towards improved ecological health and social justice. We reflect on the ways the ASA contributes to breaching these barriers. Early key learnings from ASA praxis leads us to suggest that the ASA has practical value for policy makers, practitioners and researchers seeking pathways for fair and sustainable river management, and more broadly in natural resource development.
