这里应用启发式多层次视角框架（MLP）来探索单个项目的创新过程以及采用和传播的决定因素。借鉴这个解释性和综合性框架的见解，我们受益于对沼气技术驱动因素和障碍的深入研究。我们回顾性地调查了“约旦和以色列农村社区农业和环境安全综合废物回收系统”项目的框架。准确地说，我们的工作重点是在以色列南部的三个贝都因村庄实施沼气装置的成果。技术的采用和传播纳入了学习过程和改变的行为，例如技能发展、能力、社会实践和新的社会角色。知识、财政和政策制定者的支持是关键的驱动力。此外，妇女和年轻社区成员的参与是收养的一个重要方面。相比之下，父权制和财务能力构成了障碍。我们对社会利基的创建进行了评论，并认识到随着项目进展而采取的利基管理行动。社会利基概念的引入代表了传统 MLP 词汇在新意义范式中的延伸。社会生态位扮演着体现个人水平、连接社会实践与政权的中介角色。此外，我们得出的结论是，沼气创新过程是技术和社会利基共同进化的结果。此外，我们断言探索社会利基和利基战略管理在贫困环境转型研究中的作用的重要性。
The heuristic multi-level perspective framework (MLP) is applied here to explore the innovation process and determinants of adoption and diffusion of an individual project. Drawing on insights from this explanatory and integrative framework, we benefit from an in-depth examination into drivers and barriers to biogas technology. We retrospectively investigate a frame of the project “Integrated Waste Recycling Systems for Agricultural and Environmental Safety Purposes in Rural Communities in Jordan and Israel”. Precisely, our work focuses on the outcomes of the implementation of biogas units in three Bedouin villages in Southern Israel. The adoption and diffusion of technology incorporated learning processes and changing behaviours such as skill development, competencies, social practices and new social roles. Knowledge, and financial and policymaker support were critical drivers. Besides, the involvement of women and young community members was a crucial aspect of the adoption. By contrast, patriarchy and financial capability represented barriers.We commented on the creation of social niches, and we recognised niche management actions along with the project progression. The introduction of social niches concept represents an extension to the traditional MLP vocabulary throughout a new paradigm of meanings. The social niche plays the role of the agency that embodies individuals’ level and bridges social practices to the regime. Moreover, we conclude that the biogas innovation process was the outcome of the coevolution of technological and social niches. Furthermore, we assert the importance of exploring the role of social niches and niche strategic management in the transition studies in poor contexts.
