本文提出了一种定量分析方法，用于测量特定生态系统与一组确定的制度之间的功能契合度。本文关注的功能错位可能是治理缺口的结果，即缺乏对社会生态系统组成部分或环节的制度性规定。该方法使用相似度度量（简单匹配）来测量这种不匹配。这表明了一个生态系统和一组相关机构之间潜在的全系统契合程度。这种方法的初步形式是利用海洋和沿海法律法规的案文来代表正式的制度安排。这个基本的论证有助于说明在系统的拟合评估中必须考虑到的复杂的相互关系。在第一次迭代之后，继续开展工作，发展框架的分析能力，从而发挥其效用，例如协助政策转变，包括向基于生态系统的管理转变。
This paper presents a quantitative analytical method for measuring functional fit between a specific ecosystem and a defined set of institutions. Functional misfits, the focus of this paper, can arise as a result of gaps in governance—a lack of institutional provision for a socioecological system component or link. The method measures such misfit using a similarity metric (simple matching). This provides an indication of the potential degree of system-wide fit between an ecosystem and a relevant set of institutions. A preliminary form of the approach uses the text of ocean and coastal laws and regulations to represent formal institutional arrangements. This basic demonstration helps show the complex interrelationships that have to be taken into account in a systematic evaluation of fit. Beyond the first iteration, work continues on developing the analytical capacity of the framework and, therefore, its utility to assist, for example, in policy transitions, including those to ecosystem-based management.
