This NSF S&CC grant explores the role of quantitative information (e.g. data) and qualitative information (e.g. images, stories, social media) in forming relationships between people and the coastal community in which they reside. The project will explore whether the combination of quantitative and qualitative information is more effective at connecting people with their coastal environment compared to using only quantitative information. Members of a Cape Cod community and a Wampanoag tribal community across Cape Cod Bay from each other will engage in separate workshops to document and share the stories, data, and images that connect them with their coastal settings. While these coastal residents live in similar environmental settings (i.e., similar quantitative data), they hold different qualitative information (i.e., different cultural or social perceptions of the local environment). Comparisons of these two case studies will reveal the similarities and differences between communities, and also help to uncover how and which stories have influence across communities. This project will provide a new understanding of the types of information, perspectives, and actions that form robust, resilient, and sustainable coastal communities in the face of climate change. The overall goal of this NSF Smart and Connected Communities grant is to develop effective and sustainable responses to the climate change impacts that affect coastal communities. Specific objectives include: 1) To promote deep personal connections with the coast through unstructured data such as images, videos, and social media and through structured data from both embedded sources as well as community science efforts using distributed sensors; 2) To expand connections across geographical boundaries among communities with similar relationships with their coasts; and 3) To enhance sustainable connections with place through history and traditional ecological knowledge. The project is based on the premise that the deficit model of education is inadequate for influencing behavior change. Instead, the project is designed to test McGuire’s (2015) hypothesis that intuition, emotion, and community norms are more important to impact behavior change than simple presentation of facts. A series of deliberative stakeholder workshops will result in a co-created list of data needs, communications strategies, and overarching research questions. The project will produce best practices both for increasing diversity among stakeholders consulted in response to climate change, and guidance for effective engagement with communities that will lead to sustainable decision making.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.

这项NSF S&amp；CC资助探索定量信息（如数据）和定性信息（如图像、故事、社交媒体）在形成人们与他们所居住的沿海社区之间关系中的作用。该项目将探讨定量和定性信息的结合是否比仅使用定量信息更有效地将人们与沿海环境联系起来。科德角社区的成员和科德角湾对面的万帕诺亚格部落社区的成员将分别参加研讨会，记录和分享将他们与沿海环境联系起来的故事、数据和图像。虽然这些沿海居民生活在类似的环境环境中（即类似的定量数据），但他们持有不同的定性信息（即对当地环境的不同文化或社会看法）。这两个案例研究的比较将揭示社区之间的异同，并有助于揭示哪些故事如何以及哪些故事对社区产生影响。该项目将对在气候变化面前形成强大、有弹性和可持续的沿海社区的信息、观点和行动类型提供新的理解。美国国家科学基金会智能和互联社区拨款的总体目标是制定有效和可持续的应对措施，以应对影响沿海社区的气候变化影响。具体目标包括：1)通过图像、视频和社交媒体等非结构化数据，通过嵌入式来源的结构化数据以及使用分布式传感器的社区科学努力，促进与海岸的深度个人联系；2)扩大与海岸关系相似的社区之间跨越地理边界的联系；3)通过历史和传统生态知识加强与地方的可持续联系。该项目的前提是教育赤字模型不足以影响行为改变。相反，该项目旨在测试McGuire（2015）的假设，即直觉、情感和社区规范对影响行为改变比简单的事实呈现更重要。一系列审慎的利益相关方研讨会将产生一份共同创建的数据需求、沟通策略和总体研究问题清单。该项目将提供最佳实践，以增加在应对气候变化时咨询的利益相关者之间的多样性，并为与社区的有效接触提供指导，从而实现可持续决策。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。
