应对气候变化影响的加速需要在多个地理和治理层面与利益攸关方进行广泛和有效的接触。利益攸关方的参与被誉为适应气候变化的一种便利办法，它支持社会学习、消除观念两极化，并促进集体行动。但是，利益攸关方的参与仍然被松散地解释，评估措施也很有限。本研究采用社会网络分析（SNA），以调查利益相关者之间的社会关系，这是由于参与，与利益相关者的学习，在气候变化的看法的变化。我们假设理解、尊重和影响的相互关系可以预测气候变化感知的变化。这种方法被应用于马里兰州（美国）迪尔岛半岛的案例研究，当地居民，科学家和政府官员于2016年至2018年举行会议，共同管理海平面上升对其社区的影响。我们发现，基于相互理解、尊重和影响的社会关系与对气候变化的看法呈正相关。我们提供了一个详细的概念化和实施的网络为基础的方法，可以作为一个潜在的量化绩效措施的利益相关者参与气候变化适应过程。总体而言，这项研究提供了经验证据的作用，新兴的社会关系，在交易岛半岛项目的利益相关者之间的社会学习的增强或限制。
Responding to accelerating climate change impacts requires broad and effective engagement with stakeholders, at multiple geographic and governance levels. Stakeholder participation has been hailed as a facilitated approach in climate change adaptation that supports social learning, depolarization of perceptions, and fosters collective action. But stakeholder participation remains loosely interpreted and evaluating measures are limited. This study employs social network analysis (SNA) to investigate how social relations among stakeholders, which emerge as a result of participation, are associated with stakeholder learning, as changes in perceptions of climate change. We hypothesized that reciprocal ties of understanding, respect, and influence can predict changes in perceptions of climate change. This approach was applied to a case study in Deal Island Peninsula, Maryland (USA) where local residents, scientists, and government officials met from 2016 to 2018 to collaboratively manage the impacts of sea-level rise in their communities. We found that social relations based on mutualunderstanding, respect,and influenceare positively associated with perceptions of climate change. We provide a detailed conceptualization and implementation of a network-based approach that may serve as a potential quantitative performance measure of stakeholder participation processes in climate change adaptation. Overall, this study provides empirical evidence of the role that emerging social relations have on enhancing or constraining social learning among stakeholders in the Deal Island Peninsula project.
