This project aims to examine the extent to which cross-sector partnerships are effective in managing green spaces. There is a long history of public, private, third sector organisations and community stakeholders involved in the management and maintenance of green spaces. However, we do not know how successful cross-sector partnerships (i.e. those made up of stakeholders from different sectors) are at achieving good green space management. The economic recession has led to severe budget cuts by local authorities to green space management, in essence because they are under no legal obligation to provide it - unlike health service and education provision, green space management is a non-statutory service. Nevertheless, the benefits of good quality green space have been well-documented in research, and local authorities are under pressure to continue to provide good-quality green space with considerably fewer resources. In this way, local authorities (such as Sheffield City Council) are looking to involve communities and organisations from other sectors much more in how they deliver green space management on the ground. This might range from specific activities such as grass cutting and litter picking to becoming landowners and running existing facilities (e.g. cafes). But the motivations, responsibilities, commitment and skills of partners from different sectors are as yet unclear in relation to green space management. This project aims to make sense of the complexity of cross-sector partnerships through the concept of place-keeping. Place-keeping is long-term and flexible management of green spaces which ensures that they can be enjoyed by all users now and in the future. Place-keeping acknowledges that partnerships are one element of successful green space management, alongside decision-making, design and maintenance, policy, funding and evaluation. Initial research into place-keeping in Sheffield undertaken by the academic project partners shows that poor communication both internally and between organisations to share knowledge and information may be a key barrier to effective green space management. To address these gaps in our knowledge, this project aims to answer the following questions:- Who does place-keeping?- How does place-keeping work on the ground when in partnership with cross-sector organisations?- What are the barriers to successful place-keeping partnerships?The project team will focus on place-keeping in two areas of the city of Sheffield. These areas have been selected following the 'Place-making and place-keeping' conference (summer 2012, Sheffield). Conference participants identified a need to explore place-keeping in more detail in the city, and the areas of the north and south-east of Sheffield were selected at a meeting with non-academic project partners. The project team will use a research method, 'partnership capacity analysis', which has been developed by academic project partners to evaluate the nature and extent of contribution that partners make, individually and together, to cross-sector partnerships. As well as exploring how successful partnerships are for place-keeping, the project is primarily aimed at improving knowledge exchange between academics, policymakers and place-keeping practitioners in general (i.e. those individuals, groups and organisations who are involved in any aspect of green space management). The project team will host a series of workshops, interviews and a final event to provide participants with the opportunity to explore place-keeping in partnership, contribute to the project findings and help refine the method of partnership capacity analysis. The team will also create an interactive place-keeping website as an important tool for knowledge sharing. This team is made up of one academic and five non-academic partners to ensure that the project is as useful and relevant to those practitioners who are engaged in place-keeping on an everyday basis.

该项目旨在研究跨部门合作在管理绿色空间方面的有效程度。公共、私营、第三部门组织和社区利益相关者参与绿色空间的管理和维护有着悠久的历史。然而，我们不知道跨部门伙伴关系（即由不同部门的利益相关者组成的伙伴关系）在实现良好的绿地管理方面有多成功。经济衰退导致地方当局严重削减了绿色空间管理的预算，主要是因为它们没有提供这种服务的法律义务——与提供保健服务和教育不同，绿色空间管理是一种非法定服务。尽管如此，高质量的绿色空间的好处已经在研究中得到了充分的证明，地方当局面临着以相当少的资源继续提供高质量绿色空间的压力。通过这种方式，地方当局（如谢菲尔德市议会）正在寻求让社区和其他部门的组织更多地参与到他们如何在地面上提供绿色空间管理中。这可能包括从割草和捡垃圾等具体活动到成为土地所有者和经营现有设施（如咖啡馆）。但是，不同部门的合作伙伴在绿色空间管理方面的动机、责任、承诺和技能尚不清楚。该项目旨在通过“保持位置”的概念来理解跨部门伙伴关系的复杂性。空间保持是对绿色空间的长期和灵活的管理，以确保所有用户现在和将来都能享受它们。《地方管理》承认，与决策、设计和维护、政策、资金和评估一样，伙伴关系是成功的绿色空间管理的一个要素。学术项目合作伙伴对谢菲尔德的地方管理进行的初步研究表明，内部和组织之间在分享知识和信息方面的沟通不足可能是有效的绿色空间管理的关键障碍。为了解决这些知识上的空白，本项目旨在回答以下问题：-谁负责保管物品？-在与跨界别机构合作的情况下，实地的档案保存工作如何运作？-成功的位置保持伙伴关系的障碍是什么？项目团队将专注于谢菲尔德市的两个区域的位置保持。这些区域是在“场所制作和场所维护”会议（2012年夏季，谢菲尔德）之后选定的。会议参与者认为有必要在城市中更详细地探索地点保存，并在与非学术项目合作伙伴的会议上选择了谢菲尔德北部和东南部的地区。项目团队将使用由学术项目合作伙伴开发的“伙伴能力分析”研究方法来评估合作伙伴单独或共同对跨部门伙伴关系作出贡献的性质和程度。除了探索如何成功地建立伙伴关系，该项目的主要目的是改善学术界、政策制定者和一般的地方管理实践者（即参与绿色空间管理任何方面的个人、团体和组织）之间的知识交流。项目团队将举办一系列研讨会、访谈和最后的活动，为参与者提供探索伙伴关系中保持位置的机会，为项目结果做出贡献，并帮助改进伙伴关系能力分析方法。该小组还将创建一个交互式的地方保存网站，作为知识共享的重要工具。这个团队由一个学术伙伴和五个非学术伙伴组成，以确保项目对那些从事日常位置保持的实践者同样有用和相关。
