长期以来，居民和社区一直对管理当地的绿色空间感兴趣。随着地方当局的预算日益受到限制，社区面临着压力，必须与公共部门以及在适当情况下与私营部门结成伙伴关系，在绿色空间管理中发挥积极作用。通过联合王国2011年《地方主义法》，政府最高层明确表示支持这种伙伴关系。然而，很少有研究探讨社区团体可以承担这种责任的期望的有效性。本文通过评估跨部门合作伙伴关系中各团体在多大程度上有能力进行持续的绿色空间“场所保持”或长期响应式管理，来解决这一知识差距。本文报告收集的数据约九个跨部门的合作伙伴关系在谢菲尔德，哈克尼，和斯托克顿上蒂斯。本文采用定性研究的方法，运用了一个框架的基础上相互关联的因素，包括资本，承诺，技能基础，动机，沟通和政治影响的伙伴关系能力。调查结果表明，伙伴关系能力超越了这些主题;它可能受到特定地点的政治和历史遗产以及地点保持任务的具体性质和背景的影响。虽然调查结果表明，伙伴关系在实践中发挥了积极作用，但社区团体在独立于地方当局管理绿色空间方面存在一些障碍，这些障碍发生在不同规模，包括个人、团体、伙伴关系和更广泛的背景下。如果没有持续的资源和持续的公共部门支助，维持场所伙伴关系的效力就会受到质疑。(C)2015年，作者。由爱思唯尔公司出版
Residents and communities have long been interested in managing their local green spaces. As local authority budgets become increasingly restricted, communities are under pressure to take an active role in green space management in partnerships with the public, and where applicable, private sector. Support for such partnerships has been made manifest at the highest level of government through the UK's 2011 Localism Act. However, there is little research exploring the validity of expectations that community groups can take on such responsibility. This paper addresses this gap in knowledge by assessing to what extent groups have the capacity within cross-sector partnerships for sustained green space 'place-keeping', or long-term responsive management. This paper reports on data collected about nine cross-sector partnerships in Sheffield, Hackney, and Stockton-on-Tees. Taking a qualitative research approach, this paper applies a framework for partnership capacity based on interrelated factors, including capital, commitment, skill base, motivation, communication and political influence. The findings show that partnership capacity goes beyond these themes; it can be influenced by the political and historical legacy of a given place and the specific nature and context of place-keeping tasks. While findings show that partnerships work positively in practice, there are a number of barriers to community groups managing green spaces independently of local authorities, occurring at different scales including individual, group, partnership and the wider context. Without sustained resources and ongoing public sector support, the effectiveness of place-keeping partnerships is called into question. (C) 2015 The Authors. Published by Elsevier B.V.
