Institutions and governance are key mediating factors between human choices or activities and the broader socio-economic, technological, political, and cultural context. Their importance for shaping human-environment relations in general, and NCP in particular, has been recognized by the IPBES framework. The very diverse Kilimanjaro region provides an excellent opportunity to investigate institutions and governance ‘producing’ a very heterogeneous ‘landscape’ of land-uses. Against this background, SP 5 investigates the dynamic relationships between land use, NCP, institutions, and governance and performance of institutions and governance. In recent years, governance in complex social-ecological systems (SES) like Kilimanjaro has often been conceptualized and analysed as polycentric. Still, agricultural land use has not been addressed from this perspective although polycentric governance suggests fruitful entry points to the study of institutional change and performance in relation to the co-production of agricultural land use by diverse private, public, and civil society actors. Further, while the role of power in understanding natural resource governance and land-use decisions has already been recognized in the IPBES framework it has hardly been introduced into empirical analyses in a systematic manner. While land use on Kilimanjaro has been investigated previously, studies comprehensively combining and comparing governance aspects across stakeholders, land-use types, elevations, and ecosystems are missing. SP 5 will close these gaps by assessing how institutional change and performance shape land use on Kilimanjaro. It will identify stakeholders and land-use types shaping NCP; it will address the role of institutions and governance arrangements in affecting the formation of different land-use types throughout the last twenty-five years, and why institutions and governance arrangements changed; and it will assess the distribution of power among actors and its effects on land-use types. Further, it wonders how we can evaluate the performance of governance of issues that biophysically interconnect land use on Kilimanjaro, such as water, and to what extent performance, understood as coordination of water use in relation to land uses, can be explained through various dimensions of institutional fit. To this end, SP 5 conducts a stakeholder analysis, contributes to the survey of land uses to be carried out in SPs 3-5, and carries out a document and literature review as well as a large number of Key Informant Interviews and Focus Group Discussions. Qualitative data is collected and a social network analysis and cognitive mapping is undertaken in order to assess the scalar and functional institutional fit of governance. That way, throughout four Work Packages, SP 5 closes crucial gaps in our integrated understanding of Kilimanjaro SES and makes a vital contribution to the RU, particularly in collaboration with SPs 1, 4, 6 and 7.

制度和治理是人类选择或活动与更广泛的社会经济、技术、政治和文化背景之间的关键中介因素。IPBES框架已经认识到它们对于形成一般的人与环境关系，特别是NCP的重要性。非常多样化的乞力马扎罗山地区提供了一个很好的机会来调查制度和治理“产生”一个非常异质的土地使用“景观”。在此背景下，sp5研究了土地利用、NCP、制度、治理以及制度和治理绩效之间的动态关系。近年来，像乞力马扎罗山这样的复杂社会生态系统（SES）的治理经常被概念化和分析为多中心。尽管如此，从这一角度来看，农业土地利用还没有得到解决，尽管多中心治理为研究与不同私人、公共和民间社会行动者共同生产农业土地利用相关的制度变革和绩效提供了富有成效的切入点。此外，虽然权力在理解自然资源治理和土地使用决策方面的作用已经在IPBES框架中得到承认，但它几乎没有被系统地引入实证分析。虽然之前对乞力马扎罗山的土地利用进行过调查，但目前还没有全面结合和比较利益相关者、土地利用类型、海拔和生态系统治理方面的研究。sp5将通过评估制度变化和绩效如何影响乞力马扎罗山的土地利用来缩小这些差距。它将确定影响NCP的利益相关者和土地利用类型；报告将探讨过去25年来，制度和治理安排在影响不同土地利用类型形成方面的作用，以及制度和治理安排发生变化的原因；它还将评估参与者之间的权力分配及其对土地利用类型的影响。此外，它想知道我们如何评估乞力马扎罗山上生物物理上相互关联的土地利用问题（如水）的治理绩效，以及在多大程度上，绩效（被理解为与土地利用相关的水利用的协调）可以通过制度契合的各个维度来解释。为此，SP 5进行了利益相关者分析，为SP 3-5中进行的土地用途调查做出了贡献，并进行了文件和文献审查，以及大量的关键信息提供者访谈和焦点小组讨论。收集定性数据，进行社会网络分析和认知映射，以评估治理的数量和功能制度契合度。通过这种方式，在四个工作包中，SP 5弥补了我们对乞力马扎罗山SES的综合理解的关键空白，并为RU做出了重要贡献，特别是与SP 1、4、6和7的合作。
