摘要使用路径的方法，对环境和自然资源管理的争议被视为替代的表达，或竞争，可持续发展的途径。这有助于更深入地了解自然资源管理争议的根本原因。该框架由两个要素组成：STEPS（社会，技术和环境途径可持续发展）途径方法和框架分析。许多可持续发展的困境都发生在特定的地方，因此，路径方法与基于地方的框架分析相结合。由此产生的框架指导实证调查的地方为基础的背景。这种关于可持续发展科学的理论可以用来阐明有争议的自然资源管理问题，在这种情况下，瑞典北方的采矿。通过将替代路径的范围暴露于可持续发展的关键规范，我们确定行动替代方案是否与可持续未来兼容。该框架提供了一种方法，使可持续性科学能够更好地了解自然资源管理冲突的根源，确定所涉行为者的立场，确定利益攸关方之间合作的潜力，从而解决政策问题，并判断哪些途径有助于或阻碍实现可持续发展。此外，它可以通过指导项目规模的综合可持续性研究来加强可持续性科学。
ABSTRACT Using a Pathways approach, controversies over environmental and natural resource management are viewed as expressions of alternative, or competing, pathways to sustainability. This supports deeper understanding of the underlying causes of natural resource management controversies. The framework is composed of two elements: the STEPS (Social, Technological, and Environmental Pathways to Sustainability) Pathways approach and frame analysis. Many sustainable development dilemmas are played out in specific places and consequently, the Pathways approach is integrated with a place-based frame analysis. The resulting framework guides empirical investigation in place-based contexts. This theorising about sustainability science can be used to cast light on contested natural resource management issues, in this case mining in northern Sweden. By exposing the range of alternative Pathways to critical norms of sustainable development, we ascertain whether action alternatives are compatible with sustainable futures. The framework provides a way in which sustainability science can better understand the origins of natural resource management conflicts, characterise the positions of the actors involved, identify the potential for cooperation between stakeholders leading to policy resolution and judge what Pathways help or hinder the pursuit of sustainable development. In addition, it can enhance sustainability science by guiding integrative sustainability research at the project scale.
