本文重点关注外行知识和可持续发展概念，这些概念塑造和反映了环境政策的实施以及公众对爱尔兰康尼马拉环境参与论坛的反应。本文借鉴康尼马拉混合方法知识研究的深入定性实地调查，认为当地对可持续性的理解优先考虑为子孙后代提供非专业知识，这既有助于也阻碍了成功的环境参与。这些可持续性定义对于社区参与者如何定义有效环境参与的构成至关重要。许多老牌当地人利用这些可持续发展理念来证明故意将新来的定居者排除在环境参与论坛之外是合理的。本文揭示了有关语言使用、“防御性地方主义”和内部与外部差异如何影响爱尔兰农村地区的当地文化习俗的见解，对于理解有效环境治理的障碍以及当地对参与、可持续性和政策制定的看法的复杂性非常重要。
This paper focuses upon lay knowledge and sustainability concepts that shape and reflect environmental policy implementation and public reactions to environmental participatory forums in Connemara, Ireland. Drawing on in-depth qualitative fieldwork from a mixed-method study of knowledge in Connemara, the paper argues that local understandings of sustainability which prioritise lay knowledge for future generations both helps and hinders successful environmental participation. These definitions of sustainability are central to how community actors define what constitutes effective environmental participation. Many established locals draw upon these sustainability ideals to justify the deliberate exclusion of recent settlers to the area from environmental participatory forums. Insights revealed here on how local cultural conventions pertaining to language use, ‘defensive localism’ and insider–outsider distinctions affect participation in rural Ireland are highly significant for understanding barriers to effective environmental governance and the complexity of local perceptions of participation, sustainability and policy-making.
