本文论述了研究农业景观多功能性所需的整合过程。它探讨了我们真正理解的学科之间的整合,以及我们如何从独立的平行学科研究在同一领域进行,以增加跨学科的程度。我探讨了当前对跨学科的兴趣,目的是绘制出我们可以期望跨学科研究实现的目标,以及它不会实现的目标。论文的主体部分从实践和理论两个角度探讨了跨学科工作的过程和问题。跨学科景观研究面临的主要障碍是学术传统、评价体系和理论的缺乏。为了应对跨学科的挑战,我们需要专注于理论发展,研究人员的培训,团队建设,寻找共同的目标和奖励良好的实践。最后,我讨论了起草一个良好的做法和标准的跨学科研究质量评估的代码。(C)2001 Elsevier Science B.V.保留所有权利。
This paper deals with the process of integration required to study multifunctionality in agricultural landscapes. It examines what we really understand by integration between subject disciplines and how we can move from independent parallel disciplinary studies carried out in the same area to increasing degrees of interdisciplinarity. I explore the current interest in interdisciplinarity with the aim of mapping out what we can expect interdisciplinary research to achieve and what it will not. The main part of the paper examines the process of working across subject boundaries, and the problems from practical and theoretical perspectives. The major barriers facing interdisciplinarity in landscape research are academic traditions, the merit system and lack of theory. To meet the challenges of interdisciplinarity, we need to focus on theory development, training of researchers, team building, finding common aims and rewarding good practice. Finally, I discuss the drafting of a code of good practice and criteria for assessing quality in interdisciplinary research. (C) 2001 Elsevier Science B.V. All rights reserved.
