可持续性研究，努力开发解决复杂问题的选择，并涉及非学术合作伙伴已受到越来越多的公众关注。鉴于这一趋势，资助组织、大学以及来自企业和政府的合作伙伴都在寻找此类研究有效性的证据。本文介绍了一个框架和方法计划，捕捉参与式可持续发展研究的社会影响。该框架是通过文献审查和与机构代理人举办的讲习班制定的。它既包括直接和有形的影响，也包括间接和不太有形的影响。其影响包括高质量的产品、知识增益、决策能力的提高、网络的加强和转型变革。与这些影响相关的前瞻性研究特征包括参与者的代表性，充分的互动水平，以及利益相关者投入的透明整合。该框架被翻译成一个方法论的计划，我们讨论的基础上探索性测试。测试揭示了一些挑战，包括充分激励参与和处理记忆扭曲。我们提出了应对策略，如合作参与者招募，记忆巩固活动，和实时研究设计。本文提供了一个建设性的，但谨慎的援助，研究人员，专业人士和资金组织寻求捕捉参与性可持续发展研究的社会影响。
Sustainability research that strives to develop solution options to complex problems and involves non-academic partners has received increasing public attention. Given this trend, funding organizations, universities, and collaborating partners from business and government seek evidence for the effectiveness of such research. The article introduces a framework and methodological scheme for capturing the societal effects of participatory sustainability research. The framework was developed through literature review and a workshop with institutional agents. It accounts for both direct and tangible as well as indirect and less tangible effects. Effects include quality products, knowledge gains, increased decision-making capacity, enhanced networks, and transformational changes. Participatory research features linked to these effects include representativeness of participants, adequate level of interaction, and transparent incorporation of stakeholder inputs. The framework is translated into a methodological scheme, which we discuss based on exploratory testing. The testing revealed a number of challenges, including adequately incentivizing participation and dealing with memory distortion. We propose coping strategies such as collaborative participant recruitment, memory consolidation activities, and real-time study design. The article provides a constructive, yet cautionary aid to researchers, professionals, and funding organizations seeking to capture the societal effects of participatory sustainability research.
