有许多框架用于研究共享资源的治理，这些框架在文献中得到了广泛的讨论。尽管这些框架已应用于多个案例研究，但这些应用通常是特殊的，受研究人员的解释影响，并引起对案例研究比较框架的操作使用的关注。因此，来自这些研究的见解并没有达到框架产生可推广知识的愿望。在此，基于几个案例研究和我们使用各种框架分析社会生态系统的经验，我们承担了提供一种机制的任务，以系统地限定生态、社会、制度和已建成的基础设施系统之间的相互作用，这些系统会影响共享资源的治理。具体来说，我们生成了一系列原型社会生态系统，并从中提取了一个动词列表，以表示耦合基础设施系统框架鲁棒性中的关键交互。然后，我们根据三个沿海社会生态系统的案例研究扩展和完善了这个列表。我们对这些动词进行分类，并使用它们在案例研究中演示治理模式。我们发现治理实体主要是寻求对较低治理层次的变更路径的控制，而不是在自己的层次上行动。治理实体在没有提供必要资源的情况下将责任推卸给较低的治理级别。最后，我们发现，由于治理实体之间缺乏协调，努力被取消的可能性很大。系统原型集和相关动词列表是为表示CIS动态的一般类型学和标准化协议奠定基础的第一步。
There are numerous frameworks for studying the governance of shared resources that have been discussed extensively in the literature. Although these frameworks have been applied to multiple case studies, these applications are often idiosyncratic, subject to the interpretation of the researcher, and raise concerns regarding the operational use of frameworks for case-study comparisons. As a result, insights from these studies have not lived up to the aspirations of the frameworks to generate generalizable knowledge. Here, based on several case studies and our experience using various frameworks for analyzing social-ecological systems, we undertake the task of providing a mechanism to systematically qualify interactions among ecological, social, institutional, and built infrastructure systems that impact the governance of shared resources. Specifically, we generate a series of archetypal social-ecological systems and extract from them a verb list to represent key interactions in the Robustness of Coupled Infrastructure Systems Framework. We then extend and refine the list based on three case studies of coastal social-ecological systems. We categorize these verbs and use them to demonstrate governance patterns across the case studies. We find that governance entities predominantly seek control over paths of change directed at lower governance levels rather than acting at their own level. Governance entities shed responsibility to lower governance levels without providing necessary resources. Finally, we find high potential for the cancelation of efforts due to lack of coordination among governance entities. The set of system archetypes and associated verb list is a first step in laying the foundation for a general typology of and a standardized protocol for representing the dynamics of CIS.
