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

本次可持续城市系统（SUS）研讨会的目标是提高对可持续城市系统（SUSs）与其所依赖和影响的腹地（社区和景观）之间相互联系的理解。城市系统及其周围的景观和农村社区（腹地）错综复杂地联系在一起。这种相互依存关系很明显的一个地区是美国西部的山间地带，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）点缀着广阔的景观，包括孤立的农村社区。城市系统依赖其腹地提供饮用水、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受到邻近城市系统的经济、政治和文化力量的影响。城市系统与其腹地之间的联系是由工程、自然和网络基础设施系统以及社会、政治和法律系统形成的。本次研讨会将探讨城市系统与腹地之间的联系，以推进sus -腹地系统的基础理论和应用知识。研讨会将重点关注美国西部的山间地带，并以新墨西哥州的主办城市阿尔伯克基为案例研究重点。讲习班将利用广泛的跨学科和跨部门的专门知识，推进有关相互联系的sus -腹地系统的基本和应用问题和概念。研讨会旨在弥合弹性理论与实践之间的差距，以推进知识并最终提高社区弹性。为此，讲习班将把本地/应用系统的专门知识与有关复原力原则和实践的国际专家结合起来。主办机构新墨西哥大学是一所西班牙裔服务机构，讲习班将让学生参与讲习班的各个方面，重点是来自代表性不足背景的学生。讲习班组织者将利用与西南印度理工学院和新墨西哥中部社区学院的强有力合作，扩大对讲习班的参与。此外，组织者还将接待来自索诺拉大学和埃莫西略理工学院（墨西哥）的学生和教师参加讲习班和后续活动。研究结果将通过白皮书、会议报告和美国国家科学基金会支持的美洲水源系统研究合作网络进行传播。该奖项反映了美国国家科学基金会的法定使命，并通过使用基金会的知识价值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.
