正在进行的复杂的全球生态和社会转型对包括具有不同知识的行动者提出了挑战。我们侧重于在环境、卫生保健和环境卫生等共同领域取得共同理解并据此采取行动的方法。从这些领域在知识和行动者包容方面的相似性出发，我们重新思考“知识”、“中介”和“科学-政策接口”。利用概念模型，我们构建并描述了在由制度、政治机构和政策（部门和综合）形成的治理背景下，知识类型（科学和其他）的多维互动合作生产和应用。我们调查了从正式到非正式、国际到国家、以研究为中心到以行动为导向的不同类型的知识中介案例。我们在所研究的部门和环境中发现了关于知识中介的共同和孤立的问题和解决方案，例如在预防方面，反映了环境和卫生保健及其背景的动态。在方法上，我们的分析显示了启发式和参与式方法在解释和处理关于知识、价值观和行动前提的分歧方面的重要性。(C) 2015 Elsevier Ltd.版权所有。
Ongoing complex global ecological and societal transitions pose challenges of including actors with different knowledge. We focus on approaches to gaining shared understanding and acting on it in the converging fields of environment, health care and environmental health. Starting from similarities between these fields with regard to knowledge and actor inclusion, we rethink 'knowledge', 'brokering' and 'science-policy interfaces'. Using conceptual models, we structure and characterize the multi-dimensional and interactive co-production and application of types of knowledge (scientific and other) in governance contexts shaped by institutions, political agency and policies (sectorial and integrative). We investigate cases of knowledge brokering, representing different types from formal to informal, international to national, and research-centered to action-oriented. We find both shared and isolated problems and solutions in the studied sectors and settings regarding knowledge brokering, for instance with respect to precaution, reflecting the dynamics in environmental and health care and their contexts. Methodologically, our analyses show the importance of heuristic and participatory approaches to explicating interpretations and dealing with disagreements about knowledge, values and premises for actions.
