本文有助于新出现的辩论参与性建模的核心适应行动研究。我们比较和反思两个项目在非常不同的生物物理和社会经济背景下，英国和尼加拉瓜的经验教训，并概述了一个共享的理论和方法框架，以协助研究人员和当地利益相关者共同评估，监测和适应气候和其他变化。我们讨论的机会和障碍，具体而言：（1）纳入不确定性和惊喜;（2）结合认识论;（3）处理代表性和权力动态;（4）创造机会，改善利益相关者的代理;（5）促进对话和谈判，通过使用模型作为例证。我们的分析强调了在复杂和不确定的决策环境中进行参与性和跨学科研究时处理不可避免的权衡的重要性。参与式建模经验表明，希望增强其工作社区适应能力的研究人员需要考虑利益相关者在整个过程中的参与、认识论的多元化、灵活性和对依赖于背景的社会文化过程的敏感性。版权所有© 2011约翰威利父子有限公司和ERP环境。
This paper contributes to the emerging debate on participatory modelling at the core of adaptive action research. We compare and reflect upon lessons learned from two projects in very different bio-physical and socio-economic contexts, the UK and Nicaragua, and outline a shared theoretical and methodological framework to assist researchers and local stakeholders to jointly assess, monitor and adapt to climatic and other changes. We discuss opportunities and obstacles, specifically: (1) incorporating uncertainty and surprises; (2) combining epistemologies; (3) dealing with representativeness and power dynamics; (4) creating opportunities for improving stakeholders' agency; and (5) facilitating dialogue and negotiation by using models as heuristics. Our analysis emphasizes the importance of dealing with unavoidable trade-offs when engaging in participatory and interdisciplinary research in complex and uncertain decision-making contexts. The participatory modelling experiences show that stakeholders' involvement throughout the process, epistemological plurality, flexibility and sensitivity to context-dependent socio-cultural processes need to be considered by researchers who wish to enhance the adaptive capacity of the communities they work with.
