本文评估了干旱风险与你（DRY）项目中开发的独特的跨学科参与性研究和知识交流方法，并将其作为其他参与利益相关者和环境风险系统联系的可转移框架。英国的干旱是一个复杂、分散和隐藏的风险，涉及多个利益攸关方和不同部门的系统性联系。从历史上看，干旱风险管理一直得到法定利益攸关方实施的专业科学和技术的支持。本文批判性地评估了社会学习的纵向研究过程中，涉及七个流域为基础的，多利益相关者群体的合作。DRY项目是一个创造性的实验，将干旱科学和故事带入同一空间，旨在揭示不同的知识-专业科学，实用的部门级见解和当地知识-作为新的证据基础，以支持更好的决策在英国干旱风险管理。一个评价性的多方法研究方法覆盖在这个过程中，使用调查，在会议反思性评价，和总结性的半结构化叙事访谈。本文反映了参与者的经验，“开放”的科学建模的发展，“故事”的方法，和他们的迭代互动。它概述了这一参与进程的促进因素、抑制因素和所需支持，该进程旨在促进将不同形式的知识作为证据加以整合，其核心是不同利益攸关方之间的社会和可持续性学习。这一过程提供了宝贵的经验学习的机会，研究人员的细微差别的影响，交叉因素的参与性的地方为基础的方法。它表明，科学叙事对话过程的类似方法可以在当地发挥作用，以不同的方式整合社会和可持续性学习的各个方面。这种可持续性学习为多方利益攸关方创造性地预测未来可能发生的干旱，以提高当地的气候复原力提供了一个宝贵的平台。然后，它提出了一个可转移的研究框架，促进参与性的，以地方为基础的，叙事科学的知识交流，建立当地资本管理系统性环境风险。
This paper evaluates a unique, transdisciplinary participatory research and knowledge exchange methodology developed in the Drought Risk and You (DRY) project and offers it as a transferable framework for others engaging stakeholders and systemic connections with environmental risk. Drought in the UK is a complex, diffuse and hidden risk, involving multiple stakeholders and systemic connections across diverse sectors. Historically, drought risk management has been underpinned by specialist science and technology implemented by statutory stakeholders. This paper critically evaluates the social learning from a longitudinal research process that involved co-working with seven river catchment-based, multi-stakeholder groups. The DRY project was a creative experiment in bringing drought science and stories into the same space, aiming to reveal different knowledges-specialist science, practical sector-level insight, and local knowledge-as a new evidence base to support better decision-making in UK drought risk management. An evaluative multi-method research methodology was overlaid on this process, using surveys, within meeting reflective evaluations, and summative semi-structured narrative interviews. This paper reflects on participant experiences of the 'open' scientific modelling development, 'storying' approaches, and their iterative interaction. It outlines the enablers, inhibitors and required support for this engagement process, which aimed to facilitate integration of different forms of knowledge as evidence, with social and sustainability learning among diverse stakeholders at its core. The process offered opportunity for valuable experiential learning as researchers of the nuanced impacts of intersecting factors on participatory place-based methods. It showed that similar approaches to science-narrative dialogic processes can play out locally to integrate aspects of social and sustainability learning in different ways. This sustainability learning provided a valuable platform for creative multi-stakeholder scenario-ing possible drought futures for increased local climate resilience. It then proposes a transferable research framework that promotes participatory, place-based, narrative-science knowledge exchange for building local capital for managing systemic environmental risk.
