Collaborative Research: Workshop on Improving Knowledge of Connections Between Urban and Hinterland Systems

可持续城市系统(SUS)研讨会的目标是提高对可持续城市系统(SUS)与其所依赖和影响的腹地(社区和景观)之间的相互联系的理解。城市系统、其周围的景观和农村社区(腹地)错综复杂地联系在一起。这种相互依存关系明显的一个地区是美国西部的山间地区，那里的城市(如阿尔伯克基、凤凰城、丹佛、博伊西、盐湖城、拉斯维加斯等)点缀着包含与世隔绝的农村社区的广阔景观。城市系统依靠腹地提供饮用水供应、能源生产、粮食生产和其他生态系统服务。同样，农村社区和景观在很大程度上是由邻近城市系统的经济、政治和文化力量塑造的。城市系统及其腹地之间的联系是由工程的、自然的和网络基础设施系统以及社会、政治和法律系统塑造的。该讲习班将探讨城市系统和腹地之间的联系，以促进SUS-腹地系统的基本理论和应用知识。研讨会将以美国西部山区间为重点，以主办城市新墨西哥州的阿尔伯克基为案例研究。研讨会将利用广泛的跨学科和跨行业的专业知识，提出关于相互连接的SUS-腹地系统的基本和应用问题和概念。研讨会旨在弥合复原力理论与实践之间的差距，以增进知识并最终提高社区复原力。为此，讲习班将把当地/应用系统的专门知识与复原力原理和实践方面的国际专家结合起来。主办机构--新墨西哥大学是一个拉美裔服务机构，讲习班的所有方面都将有学生参加，重点是来自代表人数不足的背景的学生。讲习班组织者将利用与西南印度理工学院和新墨西哥州中部社区学院的密切合作，扩大讲习班的参与度。此外，组织者将接待来自索诺拉大学和埃尔莫西洛技术学院(墨西哥)的学生和教职员工参加讲习班和后续活动。研究结果将通过白皮书、会议报告以及NSF支持的全美水源系统研究协作网络进行传播。这一奖项反映了NSF的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的智力优势和更广泛的影响审查标准进行评估，被认为值得支持。

The goal for this Sustainable Urban Systems (SUS) workshop is to improve understanding of the interconnections between Sustainable Urban Systems (SUSs) and the hinterlands (communities and landscape) on which they depend and impact. Urban systems, their surrounding landscapes, and rural communities (the hinterlands) are intricately linked. One region where this interdependency is clear is the intermountain western United States, where cities (e.g. Albuquerque, Phoenix, Denver, Boise, Salt Lake City, Las Vegas, etc.) dot vast landscapes containing isolated rural communities. The urban systems depend on their hinterlands for drinking water supplies, energy generation, food production, and other ecosystem services. Likewise, rural communities and landscapes are largely shaped by the economic, political, and cultural forces of adjacent urban systems. The connections between urban systems and their hinterlands is shaped by engineered, natural, and cyberinfrastructure systems along with social, political, and legal systems. This workshop will explore the connections between urban systems and the hinterlands to advance basic theory and applied knowledge of SUS-hinterland systems. The workshop will focus on the intermountain western U.S. with an emphasis on the host city of Albuquerque, New Mexico as a case study.the workshop will draw from broad transdisciplinary and cross-sector expertise to advance basic and applied questions and concepts on interconnected SUS-hinterland systems. The workshop aims to bridge the gap between resilience theory and practice to advance knowledge and ultimately improve community resilience. To do so, the workshop will integrate local/applied systems expertise with international experts on resilience principles and practice. The host institution, the University of New Mexico, is a Hispanic Serving Institution and the workshop will involve students in all aspects of the workshop with an emphasis on students from underrepresented backgrounds. The workshop organizers will draw upon strong collaborations with the Southwest Indian Polytechnic Institute and Central New Mexico Community College to broaden engagement in the workshop. Further, the organizers will host students and faculty from Universidad de Sonora and Instituto Tecnologico de Hermosillo (Mexico) for the workshop and follow-on activities. The results will be disseminated through a white- paper, conference presentations, and via the NSF-supported research collaborative network on headwater systems throughout the Americas.This award reflects NSF's statutory mission and has been deemed worthy of support through evaluation using the Foundation's intellectual merit and broader impacts review criteria.
